anybody hear about this ?

I dont claim to believe in god, but I find it sad that the NFL is ok with advertising a homosexual life style on national TV by televising the Mike Sam kiss of his boyfriend during the draft, but censors a T-Shirt promoting the belief in a higher power.

Not sure if this article is true but given the NFL, nothing would surprise me anymore...

The NFL's Campaign Against Breast Cancer Is a Total Scam

Excerpt

According to Business Insider, the NFL's October Breast Cancer Awareness Month fundraising effort is multi-pronged. There's the on-field onslaught of pink (AWARENESS), the off-field auction of autographed or otherwise noteworthy NFL paraphernalia (MONEY FOR THE CURE!), and the part of the NFL store that entices shoppers to purchase officially licensed NFL breast cancer gear, a portion of which goes to FINDING A CURE. According to the League, 100% of the proceeds from the specialty auction go to the American Cancer Society, but the total percentage of purchases of officially licensed gear that actually goes to FINDING A CURE is actually kind of pathetic — 5%. If you want to look at this cynically, in a way, the on-field wearin' o' the pink serves as an ad to direct consumers to purchase pink fan items.

You can also sign the petition to remove Simms from broadcasting Redskins games on the link in the article...

Phil Simms Says Redskins on Thursday Night Football, Weeks After Saying he Wouldn't While Broadcasting - HTTR4LIFE.com - HTTR4LIFE.com


Excerpt

Simms is just another in a long, growing line of sports writers/personalities who have taken a PC approach to a team name they have openly said for most of their lives with no thoughts given. The funny thing here is the petition to have him removed from all Redskins games has caught national headlines now, and Simms caved.

It’s unknown if these “journalists/announcers” are just looking for attention or are trying to avoid being scrutinized by the rest of the media (their colleagues). But the like of Simms, Bob Costas, Peter King, Mike Wise, Chris Mortensen and others who won’t say the name, are just plain not doing their jobs. Their job is to report news, not to become the news.

Already have the football life on ST set to record.

Real cool story on PG and the wheelchair accessible van. Might not be a bad idea for the NFL to try and build back up some goodwill with stories like these. Though I could understand if the players who do benevolent things such as this wouldn't want to be used as props and pawns of good PR merely for the sake of good PR.

The breast cancer story/scam is all too typically sad.
