October is the pink month for the NFL. Players, coaches, cheerleaders and even stadiums are adorned with the color to promote Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The league also sells pink merchandise (hats, jerseys, etc.) and donates a portion of the proceeds to the American Cancer Society.
How much of the proceeds? Well, not a whole lot. ESPN’s Darren Rovell is reporting (via Business Insider) that the league takes a “25 percent royalty from the wholesale price (1/2 retail), donates 90 percent of royalty to American Cancer Society.”

Maybe people are getting tired of the lectures even in generous causes.

tired of faggotry being forced on straight men.
on the guise of fundraising for a disease they never want to cure because it rakes in a lot of money for these groups.

I’ll take them seriously when they start talking about the link between abortion, birth control, and breast cancer.

I don’t care for the blatant partiality given the numerous forms of cancer. Maybe the focus should change to ovarian cancer. We know that won’t happen.

This is just an observation. Did anyone notice that the Dallas Cowboys weren’t wearing pink Sunday against the Redskins? Wonder why that was. At least the cheerleaders wore it. One of the stars on their vests and belt is pink, along with some of the streamers in the pom poms.
