Bernard Berrian is rolling over in his grave.
It may be that I'm biased but the Bears' players' causes are lacking inspiration (actually most of the NFL players are). Overly popular causes that don't need the free advertising, even if some are not the big names of the issues. We need to spread it around to more than kids, cancer and military vets.
I saw one on the Bears for homeless teens which is good, an underfunded issue. But Red Cross and Breast Cancer??? Give me a break. Doesn't the NFL already pump enough cash into breast cancer?
Most of the ones outside of the popularity box are because they have someone in their family affected. And this is why I don't buy into charity being the answer (that and the high salaries of the charity CEOs).
This is my favorite, Michael Mauti from the Saints. As I said I'm biased. I knew Colitis Ninja when she was just starting out in advocacy and glad she gets her image some air time linked to CCF and in her home state.
No, he's not thinking outside of the box either, he has Ulcerative Colitis. I wonder if Seantrel Henderson picked CCF or NORML.
