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.”

I hope they do drop it - as a Redskins fan I’ve been waiting for that last straw...
Soon the players will all wear dresses there will be no touching runners just pointing at them will count and tickets will cost, for the cheap seats, $2000.00 per game, there will be no scores kept so that there are no losers and bowl games will never be played as there will never be any losers.
“Da nigga used da word ‘ni**er’...personal foul...”
Headbutting in the NFL is proving to bad for brains. Get out while you still can.
By the time I’m lying in my Soylent Green suicide bed watching my personalized movie of “how it used to be” some decades from now, I think I will have added a few seconds of videotape of some random NFL game where they just talk about football.
OK, how about...
You have a business creating custom cakes. You could, for example, make a football cake for a boy’s birthday party, or a cake that looks like a pony with a pink hair ribbon for a little girls party, etc. The sign at the door says “WE make custom cakes! Tell us what you want us to bake, and we’ll do the rest!”
Someone comes into your store, and asked you to make them a cake that looks just like a vajiji. Do you have to? How about a man’s phallus? A couple doing a sex act? I’ve seen these cakes. But do we really get to sue a bakery for NOT making them?
Given that this past Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade showcased a dance number with transvestites from the musical “Kinky Boots”, I don’t even want to imagine the exponentially more perverse horrors of a SF halftime show.
NFL could pull Super Bowl if Arizona religious rights bill passes
So the NFL is anti-Religion? Who knew.
Time to start watching NASCAR and MLB again. I’m done with the NFL. “F” them!
All red states should pass a similar bill. Then where is the NFL going to have their stupid bowl?
I hope not
It’s a sport where the ultimate game isn’t even held in the fan bases of one of the teams, that’s why they can get away with only releasing 1% of the stupor bowl tickets to the public.
Freegards
Same here! I may stop watching anyway.
It’s not going to come to pass anyway, the Veto is almost certain. But, the NFL will be shelling out some big bucks to AZ if they pull something like this.
The Super Bowl was not yet scheduled when the NFL pulled that over the MLK holiday issue. Not a valid comparison.
This Happened! I am not sure if you are being sarcastic referencing this incident.
Oregon ruling really takes the cake -- Christian bakery guilty of violating civil rights of lesbian couple

Cleats on the neck enforcement of 0’s *PC* hooey.
“Our policies emphasize tolerance and inclusiveness and prohibit discrimination based on age, gender, race, religion, sexual orientation or any other improper standard,”
Yet you see no problem with religious discrimination here, to promote gay marriage. Damn liars.
But they like ‘their’property rights when they don’t want concealed carry in ‘their’ stadium.
F the NFL.
