1) Hes cleaned the NFL up so to speak. I personally feel that this should be left to the individual teams as I think they should be able to brand themselves as they want to, but I commend his efforts and think that overall its a great thing.
2)Breast Cancer Awareness. I think Snyder had a big hand in this too. Im against Breast Cancer (and any other cancer) as much as anyone else is. I think that the NFL’s promotion of breast cancer awareness and desire to help fight for the cure is nothing short of a great thing. Although I have to say it has a pandering to expand the females demographic type feel to it. Breast cancer charities are a easy thing anyone can and should absolutely get behind, although I ask if it was another disease (like MS or AIDS) would the NFL be as supportive if there was no pay off for them? Either way I think its great they are involved in this cause and hope that they become involved in more.
3)NFL Play 60. Encourages kids to not be fat and play video games all day. Definitely a good thing for kids and the NFL.
All the positive things hes done are reflective of current social issues which is great. But when it comes to the game everything hes done is cloudy in controversy. Do you know of any that’s not?
