Disheartening and disgusting NFL

As a cancer victim (thank God in remission) and person whose family has been "touched" -what a cute way of saying it- by this fearful disease, I am appalled by this article. First impression,"what a wonderful gesture". Second impression, "This really seems to be going a bit over the top", third impression " Whose making money out of this " and hoping it was for cancer research, treatment , etc. But, the cynic in me that makes me beware of most charities seems to be justified now.

NFL- (N)ever (F)orget the (L)oot?
