Roger Goodell,
My name is Joshua R. Leuschner, I'm from Baltimore, and been a Ravens fan ever since their induction into this league after the 1995 season was completed.
But my letter to you is about raising awareness for your key demographic in men who come to football games to have themselves a good time with their friends. The NFL has breast cancer awareness for women but why not a prostate and colon cancer awareness month for the men or just a Football Fights Back month! How about that?
The MLB, NHL, and MLS have wonderful charities set up and fans, players, management, and ownership alike in total have contributed tens of millions of dollars towards cancer research of all types... Shouldn't you do the same for not only men but the children as well.
42% of your NFL populace is women and the viewership numbers for women only sits at 28%. Since BCA started in the NFL, Nielsen has determined that it's only raised the viewership numbers by a fraction!
Mr. Commissioner, ever since you walked into this league, you done a methodically OK job with your zero tolerance policy, raising awareness for breast cancer, safety, something for the children with Play 60, but you haven't done anything that raises cancer awareness for men. Come on sir, you are better than this, along with your other cohorts as well. You should think about this.
My view is plain and simple. If you do something for women, then you better reach out to all of your demographics who come to football games or watch it on television.
Baseball, Hockey, and Soccer are fighting back. It's time for football to do the same
Thank you,
Joshua R. Leuschner
