it's obvious. I implied that anything the NFL did was to maximize profits. From breast cancer pink ribbons, to kids getting active outdoor commercials, to supporting the troops. NFL is not doing it because they help the cause. They do it because it helps their image and gains public trust which result in greater revenue. That was what I was trying to say.
Look at domestic abuse incident. Ray Rice got 2 games. Goodell was firm on it until there was too much pressure from the public and women groups. Then next thing you see is change in policies, no-more commercials. NFL didn't want to do it in the 1st place. It was due to public pressure and restoring their image. And good image = greater revenue. The good from these "charities" and "goodwill" is just a residual side effect.
