What Are Those 'stick Man' Badges Worn By Managers?

[Backdrifter]

I mean the silver-looking lapel badges some football managers are wearing in post-match interviews recently? It looks like the "Gents" symbol on toilet doors.

It's a prostate cancer badge. Think it's a charity called Men United and the Football league support it.

Thank you both.

They are from Men Utd in support of the Prostate Cancer Charity. Does anyone know where you can get them?

Hi. I'm the director of fundraising for Prostate Cancer UK, the charity behind the badges. We call it our 'Man of Men' badge and it is made up of lots of little men graphics to form a larger man. This is to symbolise the need for men to come together to fight prostate Cancer. We call this movement Men United. The managers in the Premier League and The Football League are often wearing the badge to play their part in promoting Men United. Badges on sale in M&S at the moment, best wishes mark ... Search 'men United' in Google to find out more

Welcome to AB Mark.
Did you join just to tell us that?

And do you know redthree?

I have noticed these lapel badges on TV but never seen them available to the public. Nor is there any mention of them on the Men Utd website. Shame they are attractive but too "exclusive" And such a good idea raising money for something so important.

Thanks Mark for calling by to tell us more. Perhaps you could feed my comments back to the rest of the marketing team. I'm never going to make a special 40 mile round trip to M&S and husband wouldn't go in there anyway. He'd wait outside!

Stick it to Men? Its yet another Cancer marketing ploy by Big Pharma same as Pink Breast Cancer. Big Pharma are the richest businesses in the history of mankind yet they use well meaning charities to exploit cancer fear to extract more money. The closer they get to a cure for any cancer the higher the prices go they charge (around £100,000 at present) inspite of £2billion being raised by charities in the last few years to finance the cancer research.

most men over 50 have prostrate cancer but won't be affected by it . breast cancer screening produces huge amounts of false positives resulting in worry and unnecesary surgery. Early detection is good but can be achieved if the money isn't all spent on the money spinners for big pharma and co , Some of these charities aren't much better.
good to hear Dr. Margarate McCarthy challenge the prevailing "wisdom"
