Oh for the love of garbage.....when did the NFL become the champions of gay men? I thought they played football not some in-your-face sexual advocate. Frankly, Arizona is probably too good a State to put up with the likes of the trash talking NFL in the first place......With a Governor too strong to be threatened even by the POTUS!!!!!
The NFL and corporate America are becoming very politically correct. It will be interesting to see if catering to decadence is good for business or will hurt the bottom line.
It will always and forever be about money.
In which case, they should be in perfect agreement with the Arizona bill.
But of course, the reality is that they pay lip service to religious freedom while actively condemning even slightest practice of it.
Effe the National Fag League,
Haven’t been an NFL fan in a long time. Three hours to watch maybe 18 minutes isn’t a very efficient use of time. But the Super Bowl game was usually an exception. Not this past game though. They took a stand against Daniel Defense’s advertisement, and that clearly told me where their priorities reside. I also don’t frequent businesses or restaurants that have certain political views.
Sadly, many conservatives will talk about a stand, but then make an exception for something like the super bowl. If all the conservatives would have tuned out this past year. A message might of been sent to the NFL. When principles are flexible, they really aren’t principles...
Forget any notion of 50 separate laboratories of "democracy" - you will think as you are told, or else.
****”when did the NFL become the champions of gay men?”****
I never liked football. How can anyone like a game in which a group of men bend over, allow one to walk up close behind, Then reach up and grab the bent over one’s ball and run!
This Arizonan sure wouldn’t miss the NFL & the Super Bowl. I do miss the time when football was played and marching bands killed time during half-time and I wasn’t asked to worship either Thugdom or Homosexual Activists.
I will definitely NOT be turning on cable tonight to watch the homosexualist RINOs at FNC cheer for a Brewer veto.
No... I will be firing up Netflix to watch me some Heisenberg...
Maybe theres some courage to be found at the state level.
Same tactics used against the Boy Scouts. That campaign began at the 2000 DNC when they boo’d the Scouts pledge of alligence. The left never gives up.
So let me get this straight....the NFL, which is operating under an antitrust exemption, can threaten a sovereign state in order to influence its internal politics, and our politicians are OK with this? “Nice Superbowl you have there, too bad if anything were to happen to it” is OK?
I would sooner die than purchase anything that nets the NFL one red cent from now on. Screw ‘em.
NFL National Footsie League. Just more garbage from the so called football players association of America. So a state says no to gay rights and they want to pull the football away. Wait is not what Lucy does to Charlie Brown very time. So will the Arizona cardinals be banned as an NFL team?
Before people go blaming the NFL, remember, the league exists at the pleasure of the Feds who could bring antitrust charges against it at any time.
The fans be damned and the players as well. They do not care about the fans. They do not care about the players. They do not care about the game. They care about maximizing their wealth, and that alone drives them to their inane decisions.
I bet if the same bill banned Conservatives from establishments the media would be jumping for joy
Let's see. The states have amended the Constitution to expressly protect religious expression as evidenced by the 1st Amendment, and also voting rights on the basis of race, gender and age, evidenced by the 15th, 19th and 26th Amendments respectively. But the states have never amended the Constitution to protect so-called sexual orientation rights in any context. So the states are free to make laws which discriminate on the basis of such “rights,” as long as such laws don't also unreasonably abridge constitutionally enumerated rights.
Therefore, if the NFL is really concerned about protecting gay "rights" within the framework of the Constitution, then the NFL needs to do the following. The NFL needs to work with state and federal lawmakers to propose a gay rights amendment to the states for ratification. And if the Article V supermajority of states choose to ratify such an amendment, and I don't think that's likely, then gay rights will be constitutionally protected and the NFL will be a hero.
On the other hand, Christians need to be careful not to be a stumbling block for people who are struggling with same-sex temptation, but who would nonetheless be receptive to the good news of Jesus. (Are you listening Westboro Baptist Church?) In fact, Apostle Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 that certain members of that Church had formerly been involved in same-sex sexual relationships, but had evidently repented and accepted God's grace to turn their lives around.
you gonna put money before what’s right? other people’s warped opinions? what the world thinks of the latest celebrity cause?
apparently jan will.
