NFL's October Merchandise Awareness Month

[6andcounting]

NEW YORK — The NFL announced today that October is now NFL Merchandise Awareness Month, a league-wide initiative to educate the public about the many NFL products available to purchase.

“This is more than just an awareness campaign,” commissioner Roger Goodell stressed. “Too many times awareness campaigns fail to cause people to act. Our initiative is designed to make people aware of NFL products and then follow through with a purchase. In fact, many purchases, thereby generating vast profits for the NFL.”

The commissioner also made it clear that a full 100-percent of the money spent on NFL merchandise will go to the NFL and its partners.

“Our breast cancer awareness and military appreciation campaigns of the past unfortunately fell short because a single digit percentage of all sales go to breast cancer charity and military organizations,” said Goodell. “NFL Merchandise Awareness Month is structured much better because it enables us to keep everything. No one is skimming off the top now.”

NFL merchandise awareness will be created by players and coaches wearing NFL apparel during games, while retailers throughout the country will be selling NFL merchandise. In addition to keeping all proceeds, the NFL will increase prices 15-percent during NFL Merchandise Awareness Month.

“I think that in this season of giving, fans will be more than happy to pay a little bit more knowing the money is going to the NFL, which desperately wants more money,” said the commissioner. “From alternate jerseys to team lamps to pink women’s apparel to car floor mats, there are many ways fans can give the NFL their money.”

The league also said it’s NFLShop.com website has been charging customer credit cards on file an additional $50 per purchase.

“This is something we may or may not quote unquote ‘fix’ in the next 18 months or so,” said Goodell.

Cam Heyward fined for honoring his father, who died of brain cancer, on his eye black. Nobody thinks the NFL cares about player safety, player behavior, the fans, women, the military or any of the charities that the NFL promotes as partners. Everybody thinks the NFL and the owners are terribly greedy to the point that they don't even care about changing that image. These kind of fines are guaranteed to do nothing but garner backlash and resentment. How has the NFL not figured out that changing these sort of rules will stop them from hurting their own image?

No Fun League strikes again! But seriously this is getting ridiculous.

Also, the Steelers suck (because Smack Talk).

So, you're making fun of breast cancer?

Typical classless Steelers fan. Keep these opinions between you and your sister/wife in the privacy of your one bedroom mobile home, please.

The eye black is the craziest. Why can't you write on that? Hell those eye black stickers come with logos or a pencil to write on them.

Its sad that the NFL is more concerned with fining players over eye black and pink accessories then properly disciplining a guy convicted of battery.

How was Devon Still allowed to have his eye black written on then? Perhaps the fine is for not clearing it through the league office?

Williams asked the FO, and they shut him down.
