Here we go. I think the NFL may have scaled back this over-the-top Breast Cancer Awareness initiative. Pretty sure that had something to do with the fact that it was starting to be reported of exactly how little of the proceeds of their pink NFL gear were being donated to the cause.

Anyway...I'm all for healthy breasts. I just hope not to have all the pink gear jammed in my face for a whole month!

Go Cubs!

of course the they scaled it back, it was shown they still take their 7% off the top. Cancer or not.

I can't stand the every cancer awareness bullshit, especially the breast cancer awareness and grown men wearing pink while playing a violent sport.

Is anyone really not aware of cancer at this point? When I sit down to watch a game on Sunday I want to forget about my problems. Not be constantly reminded that the women close to me in my life could die of tit cancer. Buzzkill.

It's not only this but the constant barrage of medication,hospital commercials for all kinds of illnesses.
I'm starting to miss cigarette commercials. At least people were having a good time in those.

None of this means anything. It's all faux-philanthropy that is merely done to extend the league's audience, move pandering ugly merchandise, and save some face for a league which is a revolting shithole of an operation.

The South Park guys need to rewrite the "Eveyone has AIDS" song to "Everyone has Cancer".

Which, in a way, is kinda true.
