So the NFL has moved on from Breast Cancer Awareness Month: their annual support (since 2009) of the Susan G. Komen Foundation and the American Cancer Society which runs through every October. That’s when the league becomes a pink tsunami of uniform and field accessories, with most of the equivalent merchandise available for purchase at the NFL Pro Shop.
Problems:
* As of 2013, out of every $100 of pink NFL merchandise sales, only $3.54 went to actual cancer research. Much of it went toward overhead and salaries: one of the six Susan G. Komen COOs (yes, six) made more than $600,000 in yearly salary.
