Look on the field Sunday and you’ll see an interesting thing… A bunch of players will be wearing pink equipment, including gloves and cleats. That’s Randy Moss at today’s practice (right) wearing pink gloves, as a shot by our photog Matt West shows us.

Why?

It’s a movement designed to splash the football fields with pink to create some publicity and generate interest in Breast Cancer Awareness. Along with Moss, RB Laurence Maroney and some others will do the same.

As  co-founder of the movement Laura Beraznik said, “The stereotype of a tough, rugged football player represents the incredible strength required and displayed by those fighting cancer.” 

That comes from this press release about the whole thing from Cutters Gloves.

Moss, who always keeps a low profile with us reporter types, is quoted in the release.

“Cancer affects everybody in some way. If I can do something to help people out, to raise awareness and help raise money - well, that’s what it’s all about,” Moss said. “I want to make a difference.”
