NFL could pull Super Bowl if Arizona religious rights bill passes

Call it what you want -- anti-gay or religious rights -- but if Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer signs a controversial bill, you might not be calling Arizona the home of the 2015 Super Bowl.

The Religious Freedom Restoration Act, S.B. 1062, is the current controversy du jour out of Arizona, and the National Football League is with the opposition.

“Our policies emphasize tolerance and inclusiveness and prohibit discrimination based on age, gender, race, religion, sexual orientation or any other improper standard,” NFL spokesman Greg Aiello told USA Today. “We are following the issue in Arizona and will continue to do so should the bill be signed into law, but will decline further comment at this time.”

Brewer should punch back and say the NFL is not welcome in Arizona until it enacts racial affirmative action to accurately reflect the population.

“Our policies emphasize tolerance and inclusiveness and prohibit discrimination based on age, gender, race, religion, sexual orientation or any other improper standard,” NFL spokesman Greg Aiello told USA Today.

Tell that to Tim Tebow.

If I recall, the NFL also pulled the Super Bowl from Arizona when they the stay rejected Martin Luther King Day as a holiday.

Fruck the NFL.

PC dominates everything in these United States. Nothing matters as much as PC. Everybody bow down before the great god of PC.

Way too many Americans preoccupy themselves with make believe, whether reality TV shows, Hollywood gossip tabloids or personal obsessions such as gay rights. In a “I do not have to work anymore society,” these fixations have become a substitute for God, country, and family. Today, there is way too much idle time on Americans hands and way too little economic productivity. A sure prescription for collapse.

If your sign states you will bake anything and you then decline to bake something that offends you they could sue you for false advertising.
