Join Roger Goodell and the NFL in the Fight Against Breast Cancer!

[Renew Deal]

To NFL Fans:

On behalf of the National Football League, please join us in supporting the NFL’s “A Crucial Catch” campaign in October for National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This is the third season in which NFL teams, coaches, officials and players will wear pink in recognition of the fight against breast cancer.

Just about everyone knows someone who has been affected by breast cancer. That is why the NFL is proud to join thousands of others committed to fighting this terrible disease.

Throughout October, all NFL teams will celebrate survivors, visit patients at hospitals and turn their stadiums pink to show our enduring support. Alongside our partners at the American Cancer Society, we will emphasize the importance of prevention by encouraging all women over the age of 40 to get a yearly mammogram. We know that annual screenings can, and do, save lives.

Thanks to the passion of NFL fans, we have the collective strength as a league to connect with millions of people and make a positive difference. Please support the American Cancer Society's programs to help people stay well, get well, and find a cure. We can fight back against a disease that has taken far too much from too many for too long.

There are several ways you can participate in “A Crucial Catch.” Visit nfl.com/pink for the resources and tools you can use to get involved.

An annual screening saves lives. Let’s spread the word.

1. Why doesn't the NFL focus on a man cancer?

Are you really going to raise awareness with women at a football game?

Why not focus on a cancer that strikes the majority of the fans? Testicular, prostrate....

2. Because every single football fan has a mother

And many have wives, sisters, and daughters.

3. Exactly.

And also, although it's rare, men *can* get breast cancer.

4. I'm not trying to downplay breast cancer, but I'd like to see awareness for men's issues too

More men watch football than women. I was just wondering why they don't try to address men's health matters.

I wonder what percentage of women get tested for breast cancer versus percentage of men who get tested for prostate cancer is.

I think the word has gotten out for breast cancer, but I don't see as much for men's health.


Funny side note: what color would the ribbons be for prostate cancer awareness?
