And the sad part is from what Laz posted, pancreatic cancer is the worst, and got the least funding. At least in 2011.

But by God, add those up.

It's easier to make money off of breast cancer with the entire pink gimmick to get people to think that they are rallying behind some cause than something like pancreatic, liver, or ovarian cancers. It should just be cancer awareness month, but breast cancer is the easiest one to profit off of. Biggest marketing scam in sports.

Yep. Had a relative diagnosed with pancreatic cancer who didn't last more than two months from the time she was diagnosed. During my freshman year of high school (2010), I had a science teacher who was diagnosed with liver cancer in October. She was out of work by November and gone by the end of January. Liver cancer isn't even on the graphic, if you get diagnosed with that you're basically done for.

Except for the Chiefs cheerleaders, I don't need to see a bunch of grown men with their shirts off.

My condlances. Yeah it's a death sentence, and just about everyone you know knows of someone who has died of that evil disease.

Would make more sense for the NFL to help prostrate cancer research.

...and increasing their female fan base...Im pretty sure the NFL knew their male audience was saturated and needed to attract the other gender.
