Breast Cancer: why is the nfl doing stuff for breast cancer

why is the nfl doing stuff for breast cancer?
isn't the game played by men, coached by men, watched by men, invented by men, so why should the nfl be promoting breast cancer instead of something like Colan cancer or prostate cancer? i think its great that the nfl is doing things to promote cancer research, but shouldn't it be something that affects men not women? i mean can you see the wnba doing prostate promotion?

Because women make men happy. Well, some of them, some of them make us utterly and completely miserable. But really, the answer is "public image".

Testicular Cancer doesnt have a month so why not breast cancer. Here is a list of reasons 1. Guys love Boobies 2. Guys love Boobies and 3. Guys love boobies

Breast cancer also does effect men, and is much more lethal in men than in women. Shoot yourself in the face please and thank you.

b/c real men love boobies.

Maybe because breast cancer kills almost twice as much as prostate cancer, even though prostate cancer is more common. But it's probably more because breast cancer awareness marketing is superior over to prostate cancer awareness.

Because those men have mothers, sisters, nieces, aunts, daughters and wives. They said last week so many WOMEN watch football, that this was a good way to get the message out. Some teams are owned by women (so those men work for a woman). Can you imagine?

Are you pro-breast cancer? Probably not! I'm sure you're anti-breast cancer like everyone else in the world. So is the NFL. Anyway, there are several reasons: 1. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Businesses and charities all over the country are reaching out to raise awareness of the disease, and hopefully raise money. The NFL is just one of many large organizations involved. 2. It makes the NFL look good. Sure, many of the players are dim-witted thugs who commit senseless crimes. But at least they can do this one good thing for a month. 3. The NFL is reaching out to women. About 5 years ago, I read that 41% of Monday Night Football's audience is female. I'm sure it has only increased since then. Though males play the games, a growing number of women follow them. Men are going to watch football anyway, no matter what kind of cancer they advertise. Women are a new audience that they'd like to attract. 4. Breast cancer is the most prominent type of cancer in America. But if we can find a cure for breast cancer, it is likely that we'll be able to cure all cancers. Thus, it will benefit both men and women. 5. You may have noticed, but there are a lot of NFL players who are jerks toward women. There are a bunch of lowlife wife-beaters and girlfriend beaters (if you ask me, men like that should be shot). We all know about Big Ben and Brett Favre. Maybe it's a good thing for the NFL to do something that shows that they don't all hate women. 6. You have to admit, it's kind of amusing to see a bunch of big, burly men running around in pink shoes!

Men get breast cancer as well. Former Kiss drummer Peter Criss is a prime example. Besides some football fans are women aren't they?? So why wouldn't the NFL do something about it??
11 :
these men have mothers and sisters and aunts some of them have breast cancer
12 :
Breast Cancer Awareness month
13 :
In a spirit of activism carried over from breast cancer support initiatives in weeks prior, NFL players will be sporting pubic hair wristbands this weekend for testicular cancer awareness!
14 :
I think they should wear brown ribbons for prostate cancer.
15 :
Because you have people like Brady and Romo playing who are not men and they protested that the NFL was sexist
