The documentary covers three main issues with 'pink ribbon culture:' the use of the pink ribbon for profit, the lack of significant progress made in breast cancer re­ search, and the hidden struggles of people currently living with breast cancer. The film's biggest issue ap­ peared to be the overall look of the pink ribbon - according to Barbara Ehrenreich, an author and breast j cancer survivor interviewed in the documentary, th pink ribbon was Charlie Guese/COLLEGIAN an attempt to make the disease bV Charlie Guese for College Communications and the opportunity to be involved in field lights in March 2011 and "Pretty, feminine and normal."

On Thursday night, after the final out was recorded, the fans all stood up and began chanting "Let's go Oak-land!" Without looking at the scoreboard, one would think that the A's had beaten the Tigers to advance to the American League Championship Series. But that was not meant to be: arguably the greatest pitcher of our generation had shut down the ~s once more to lead his Tigers into the next round of the playoffs. But as Detroit had advanced, the city and the fans of Oakland were the real winners that night. One of the main arguments that A:s owner Lew Wolff presents for moving his team to "greener pastures" in San Jose is that the Athletics simply cannot compete in Oakland.
