Football and Pink....Do They Mix?

The University of Iowa’s football stadium gained national media attention this week — not because of a fantastic feat on the gridiron but because of the pink color of its visitors’ locker room. A recent remodeling of Kinnick Stadium included painting the wall and lockers, as well as laying pink carpet in the visitors locker room. This renovation is nothing new to the University of Iowa. It is actually a tradition that was started by head coach Hayden Fry over twenty years ago. Many are opposed to this new renovation expressing their views very loudly. The only question is, why now? This isn't new news, so why are people protesting it now?
