NFL to Cut Breast Cancer, Military Charity Funds to Pay for Proposed Social Justice Activism
Um, you realize that the "Salute to Soldiers" was a program where the military paid the NFL for the privilege of being part of the game. Further, the NFL allocates zero dollars to breast cancer charity funds. It donates only it's royalty on the sale of pink product - about $1 million a year - to the American Cancer Society to be used at women's health centers within 100 miles of an NFL city for education. Zero goes to research or to organizations that target breast cancer research. The suppliers of the merchandise still make their full profit on those products.

WoW

Page Not Found

Edit: I googled the title of your "link" and it seems that most of the sources are pretty bias. Also, it only shows the stadiums of teams like the Chargers and the Rams, two teams that were struggling with attendance long before any protest started.

Boycott the NFL.

I was so excited for this season. We finally had a quarterback. Then, they kneeled.
I'm sorry you got offended by the players who knelt after their owner compared them criminals.

What does that have to do with anything?

Ever been to a movie? Yes? Were you an actor in that movie?

Anyway, I actually know a guy who loves golf and paid $10K for a trip to go watch the Masters in person.

Not that it should make any difference, but I'm a veteran and my wife still serves. We stand for the anthem, but don't have a problem with players kneeling.

Of course it happens. If you have a loser team why would you want to go to the game. Check out the winning teams and it will be packed.

Fake news. Stub Hub Center is a 25k seat stadium for soccer use and also the Chargers suck and have sucked for years. Also L.A. went from have no teams to two in two years. Cjargers havent been in L.A. for over 20 years and haven't called it home in years. As for University of Phoenix Stadium, I work there and only this week had some noticeable seat holes. Most games this year, even the Salute to Service game on Veteran's Day Eve, were pretty much sellouts.

In Phoenix, they are a total front-runner market. Cards came off two great seasons two years ago and on a back-up quarterback and a relative unknown for third strong running back. The fact is, this is fake news mainly because it was maybe a 1,000 fans missing from the game tops.

The NFL is another cowardly liberal organization that is destroying itself. Stupid is as stupid does.
