If it's anything less than 100%, it's a motherpumpkin sham.

That's all I'm saying. I'm all for funding research for any serious cause, but when a large portion of proceeds aren't going to research or the cause itself, I'd rather not participate. I'm not trying to make light of breast cancer, but at this point, who's watching an NFL game that isn't aware it exists?

The school my nephew attends sold hoodies with the school logo in pink. Found out something like 10% of profits were actually going to research. At that point, they were playing on people's sympathy for breast cancer victims to fundraise for the school. Funk that and funk them in their iceholes.

Bingo.

I don't know if this goes for the game worn apparel auctioned off (and neither does the article), but I can't imagine it's much different.

http://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/pinkw...-sales-only-3-54-goes-toward-cancer-research/
When we contacted the NFL’s online shop for clarification, we were told 5% of the sales are being donated to the American Cancer Society. If the pink products have a typical 100% mark-up at retail, that means the NFL is keeping 90% of the profit from the sale of Breast Cancer Awareness gear.

And then consider that only 70.8% of money the ACS receives goes towards research and cancer programs. So, for every $100 in sales of pink gear, only $3.54 is going towards research while the NFL is keeping approximately $45 (based on 100% mark-up).

Northwestern to honor military

Football uniform creativity has been taken to the next level, as Northwestern will shed its familiar purple to go red, white and blue for its Nov. 16 game against Michigan.

The uniforms, designed by Under Armour, will raise awareness for the Wounded Warrior Project, a nonprofit organization whose goal is to empower servicemen wounded in battle.

Instead of having their names on the back of their jerseys, Northwestern players will have one of the following words: Duty, Honor, Courage, Commitment, Integrity, Country and Service.

After the game, the jerseys will be auctioned off through Northwestern, with 100 percent of the proceeds going toward the Wounded Warrior Project.
