5. Pink NFL merchandise doesn’t really support cancer research
A shockingly small amount of proceeds from pink NFL merchandise sales benefits breast cancer research.The NFL takes a 25% cut right off the bat, and the rest of the money is split up by the manufacturers and sellers.
In the end, only 8.01% of the money spent on pink NFL merchandise actually goes towards cancer research. That’s disappointing and pathetic.
