With a hat-tip to my anonymous friend (who probably spends a good thousand hours a year in the fight against cancer)...
As you have probably had rammed down your throat by The National Religion (The Neanderthug Felon League), this October, once again, the NFL is going Pink for Cancer.
Or, that's what they want you to think.
Sports Illustrated decided to take a look into the reality behind the myth, and found some very disturbing facts.
A Business Insider report indicates that only eight cents on the dollar for every “Pink” NFL purchase actually goes to cancer research, for the American Cancer Society.
Darren Rovell of ESPN (the “sports business” guru who is about to be fired, at the rate he's exposing Roger Goodell as a fucking sham artist!) has found the following:
- Half the money for any purchases of such apparel goes to the
retailer – and, for the vast majority of purchases being at the
stadium or on the NFL's websites, this means the NFL (and/or the
individual team) gets either all of that 50 cents on the dollar or
most of it.
- 37.5% of every dollar goes to the manufacturer.
- 8.01% of every dollar actually DOES go to the American Cancer
Society for cancer research.
- Another 3.25% of every dollar goes to the ACS for
administrative purposes, and the ACS is resolving to reduce that
number (on a general basis) far further for every dollar donated to
the ACS (especially through it's annual “Relay for Life”
marathons) in the next few years.
- And the other approximately 1.24% goes to the NFL themselves,
purportedly for their “A Crucial Catch” breast-cancer awareness
program.
Roger, your company, while making (what is it now?) $13,000,000,000 this year (??), is trying to pass itself off as a 501 (c) (3) NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION.
(You may insert your relevant laugh tracks, rimshots, vomiting, etc., here...)
You don't think you could do better than a paltry $1,000,000 a year to actual donation to the ACS??
Really, Roger... You mean to tell me that you are willing to try to ram down everybody's throat that you care about cancer research, and yet you and your teams are effectively pocketing $50,000,000 a year on merchandise trying to fool these morons who swear fealty to your sport that you actually give a damn about anything “Pink”, rather than anything “Green”...
You know, it wouldn't hurt you to basically sit down and have your teams give, oh, I don't know, $5,000,000 apiece or so to this effort?
But we can't have that!!! That would actually require giving a damn about anyone else's lives but your own...
And the NFL, nor it's fans, want to do that. That's bad bid-nezz...
Isn't it, you senile old used-car salesman-like charlatan?
