It seems that of the toxicity of Ray Rice and Adrian Peterson has finally seeped its way into the NFL at large. According to CBS Sports, manufacturing behemoth Procter & Gamble has pulled out of an upcoming partnership with the NFL for Breast Cancer Awareness Week.

The campaign was to involve multiple players on each of the NFL's 32 teams with one player from each team designated as official "ambassadors" of the campaign. Players would have worn pink mouthguards and engaged in social media on a variety of platforms as part of the deal, but those players were recently informed the expansive program has been scrapped.

1. Umm, yeah.

A campaign for awareness of a disease that primarily affects women would probably not be best served by partnering with an organization that spectacularly failed to appropriately deal with domestic violence.

2. Were the pink mouthguards intended for the players' wives and girlfriends?

Since when is breast cancer a political issue?

5. Who said it was? n/t

7. It's Definitely A Social Issue

And so is domestic abuse. And it seems that promoting breast cancer awareness while having concerns that domestic abuse is treated too cavalierly would be odds with one another.

6. Pink mouthgards? Just Ewwwww.

8. But not Budweiser.

The worst rice beer on the planet, next to Bud Light, which is just expensive water.

9. Proctor & Gamble is also my go-to manufacturer of many paper products...

thereby ensuring that I don't put one fucking nickel into the pockets of the Koch brothers.
