NFL could pull Super Bowl if Arizona religious rights bill passes
Washington Examiner ^ | February 25, 2014 | Ashe Schow

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.”

Some info but in the big picture unimportant as from what I read AZ Gov Brewer will veto the bill. But just a preview of things to come in the next battle over Gay Marriage and it looks like it will be a rout of the SoCons.

Who’s ready to sever ties with the radical left and move towards independence? This version of the US is circling the bowl as we speak.

I refer to the Arizona bill as thoroughly pro-liberty. It means freedom from the homosexual agenda and is harmonious with God's Teachings.

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

Is NFL a football league or a government agency enforcing PC?

I've had this dream that conservatives could move to the southern states, liberals to the north, sever all ties with each other. The conservative states could go back to our original constitutional form of government, while the north could continue on their golden path of socialism.

I wonder how long the north would last with all of the producers gone?

Eff the NFL!! They are nothing but parasites on the common man anyway. Get better (and cheapest) seats in front of the TV.

And if the NFL does that then I will never watch another NFL game nor purchase another NFL item. Hopefully many more will join me in F’n the NFL if they follow through with that threat.

I wonder how the predominately black NFL feels about fags openly waving their penises in their faces?

NFL was the last bastion of manhood in America and it's been hijacked by fags. Now, men are even being prevented from saying certain words on the field..

Notice how the Marxists are slowly corrupting each and every facet of America with their faggot agenda? The workplace, schools, sports (Olympics), .. In order for Marxism to prevail, Christianity must be crushed. The gay agenda is the Marxists weapon of choice in killing Christianity.

Gay marriage is a lethal threat - the future of society is literally at stake.

On the other hand, football is only a stupid game.

Remember years ago, the NFL pulled a scheduled Super Bowl out of Arizona, because at the time, Arizona did not have a state holiday for Martin Luther King. So there is precedent for the NFL moving a Super Bowl for politically correct reasons.

What? You aren’t boycotting if you watch the game on TV. Boycott football on television too. If you don’t, you are supporting the faggot-loving commercial sponsors!

Most conservatives are uncomfortable with that idea.
Under original Constitutionalism, there would be no basis whatsoever for the War on Drugs, there would be virtually no [federal] felonies, and the Air Force, NASA, and virtually all federal agencies would be held illegitimate. (Neither the Air Force nor NASA is authorized by Art I, Sec 8.)

If the NFL wants to keep their anti-trust exemption, they will do what the government tells them to do.

Welcome to Fascist America.
