NFL Supports Breast Cancer?
I find it hypocritical that the NFL is starting it's annual month long support of a womans issue like Breast Cancer, considering the recent rise in domestic violence charges against NFL players.
For a quarter of their regular season, teams will all start wearing pink. Some of the proceeds to any pink merchandise they sell will also go to support breast cancer. (What they don't tell you is only 8% of the proceeds go to this great cause.)
Meanwhile, multiple players have been recently caught with domestic violence charges.
The NFL has made countless changes to the rulebooks to curb the amount of violent injuries to players. You can't go for the head. You can't go for the knees. You can't even touch a receiver as he runs down the sidelines. But what you do to your kid or wife...the NFL can't rule on!?!
After the league came down on the Saints for bountygate in 2012, and commissioner Roger Goodell stated NFL would not tolerate "conduct or a culture" that put player safety at risk. Goodell also stated: You have to be accountable and responsible in the NFL
What about their families?
I find this month long "tribute" to be a mockery. I wish Commissioner Budweiser would step in and ask the acting commissioner, Roger Goodell, to step down.
