NFL Goes Pink

Millions of people turned in to one of the many NFL games today and were surprised to see some of their favorite players wearing pink articles of clothing, such as gloves, patches, decals on their helmets and cleats. On top of that, all of the players, staff and even the referees were wearing pink armbands.

Redskins’ owner Daniel Snyder’s wife, Tanya, was diagnosed with breast cancer a year ago. She is now in remission, and just recently became the spokesperson for the NFL, especially when it comes to the “Crucial Catch” campaign. Redskins’ tight end Chris Cooley talked about his mother’s fight with breast cancer; she is now in remission as well.

This is all part of the NFL’s “Crucial Catch”, to help support the fight against breast cancer.

All of the pink items the players wore during the game will be auctioned off, the proceeds will benefit the American Cancer Society.
