The story behind Roddy’s hot pink pants
FLOWERY BRANCH – Falcons wide receiver Roddy White wore some hot pink slacks to the Falcons game against Washington.
White had them custom made in Atlanta for the game, one of the breast cancer awareness games on the schedule.
“My grandmother is a cancer survivor,” White said. “I had to represent for her.”
Do go to Mall looking for a pair of pink pants.
“Man, you’ve got to special order them,” White said. “They were tailor made. You can’t really get them out here on the streets. I have to wear my pink every once in awhile. I have to represent for my grandmomma. I can take a picture and send it to her, you feel me. She will feel good.”
White’s mother Joenethia White has about three to four more days in the hospital after a recent surgery.
“Everything is going along well,” White said.
