The National Football League (NFL) doesn’t care at all about cancer, and its annual “Pink October” Cancer Awareness Month is nothing but a sham — at least, according to critic Jason Notte.
Notte, in his Market Watch article, says the league “cares as much about cancer as a cancer patient cares about NFL merchandise sales.” More on that now.
For those who don’t follow the NFL, the league has, for several years now, dedicated October (Weeks 5-8 — the meaty part of the season, most generally) to breast cancer awareness. The league, which has very strict uniform rules, allows players to wear pink uniform items — towels, head wraps, cleats, etc. — which are then donated to be sold, with a percentage of profits going to fund breast cancer research.
Not giving enough?
Notte, however, disputes the league’s interest in cancer research — something he describes as a “gauze-thin veil” used to “justify the sale of pink merchandise and the auction of even costlier game-worn pink merchandise” (which true fans really don’t mind paying).
