"According to an account published this week by SI.com, Goodell said at a youth league event this summer in Fairfield, Conn., that the league "had to use quite a bit of leverage" to end the deal.I bet there's more to this story because football helmets are designed to be battering rams, not head protectors. Maybe this will usher in protective helmets instead.
But during the last few years, as the league became increasingly focused on concussions, NFL officials were more concerned about the implication of selling exclusive branding rights to one helmet company over another. At an NFL-sponsored youth Play 60 event in New York City last year, the league had a variety of helmet manufacturers displaying their products to kids and parents."
No it's not fair that breast cancer gets so much attention while other cancers and other diseases get so much less. Making NFL players wear pink isn't about health. It's about catering to women and political correctness.
