It's for breast cancer awareness. I guess I don't understand why the color of players' cleats bothers you, or why you think some of the old timers would be so insecure that they wouldn't support the cause.
I'm wearing 2 breast cancer bracelets right now (and every day) and own pink shirts and ties. I don't feel like I need a big, loud truck or other overt symbols to prove I'm masculine. In fact, supporting the women in our lives is what makes you a "real man."

It's 2016 people. Pink is a color. Its wavelength is slighter longer than blue. It's as "manly" or as "feminine" as you decide it to be. Jeesh.

It was a harder scrabble life back then, people were just happy that they lived to be 65 without polio or their kids dying before puberty.(and players didn't make the kind of bread they do now)
That plus men were men back then and didn't get conned into acting like "sensitive special snowflakes" by a dubiously,agenda driven academic society like they do now. Hey , wear what you want this is a free country, but this modern attitude of "anyone who doesn't aggressively support cause XYZ is a terrible person" is getting a bit tired. I have been amused by the advent of the beard as modern masculine symbol when it generally is worn by a guy who would get a panic attack at a horror movie.

During my career as a surgeon, I treated hundreds of women and a few men with breast cancer and am fully aware of the disease and its consequences. The patients I helped never complained that I wasn't wearing pink shoes in the office or in the operating room.
Likewise when I was treated for my own colon cancer, I can't recall the color of my surgeon's or oncologist's shoes. Perhaps they were brown. It is 2016 though and we are living in a PC world where manufacturing pink shoes and other paraphenalia for professional football players to wear in October is apparently necessary to make us all aware and feel good, then so be it. Let's take it a step further then and make November colon cancer awareness month. Players could wear brown shoes and have several polyps attached to their pants. But wait! ... there are aren't enough months and the season is too short for all the worthy causes for the NFL to promote. I guess colon cancer will have to be added to October. When you get your next exam, be sure that your doctor uses one of my "pink colonoscopes"
