Now you think they're exploiting a cause they make millions for? They donate anything they make to support breast cancer. Amazing.

What's amazing is that you come here and act as if you know all things all of the time. Truth be told no one really knows if the NFL really does give 100% outside of the auctioned-off products.

You always post here as an arrogant condescending little p r i c k. All you like to do is belittle, name call and bash anyone who doesn't agree with your views as if you have all the right answers all the time. You act as if you somehow are some kind of truth keeper here because you don't like and can't take that most Baltimore fans bash the teams you root for.

"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," author Cork Gaines wrote. "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)."

Gaines said that while he was told that 100% of auctioned-off products goes to the ASC, he heard a very different number regarding the NFL's at-retail donations. "If the information I obtained was inaccurate, why didn't anybody say that when I spoke with the NFL after the story was published?" Gaines said in an email. "And if the number is inaccurate, then why won't anybody say what the real number is? And if they don't want to divulge the real number, then why are they so quick to divulge that 100% of the auctions from the on-field gear goes to ACS?"

The NFL says that 100% of the proceeds go to charity, and we should all hope that's the case. But even if the figure is 100%, and even if the NFL provided easily-accessible information on where and how women can get breast cancer screenings, it's not unfair to ask how impressive the $3 million the NFL has raised for the ASC really is. From when the NFL partnered with the ASC in 2009 to the end of last year, the NFL has earned roughly $26 billion, with about $8.8 billion coming from merchandising. That means that what the NFL has donated to the ASC amounts to 0.01% of what they've made since the start of the '09 season, and 0.03% of what they've made from retail sales alone. "A million per year out of between $8.5 and $9.5 billion in revenues?" Jezebel's Erin Gloria Ryan recently wrote. "Pardon me while I don't slobber all over the NFL's pink-drenched marketing campaign."
