Houston, we have a problem.

"Houston attorney John LaRue, who ran for the Houston City Council and led a campaign to support HERO, told ABC News today that though supporters were still "in shell shock," there are "rumblings of boycotts" and other next steps."

"The Super Bowl is slated to come in 2017, and there are rumblings of plans to ask the NFL to move and go elsewhere in support of LGBT people and other groups HERO would have protected."

Well, if the REALLY want to piss people off, then they need to go ahead and monkey with football in Texas.

And may God have mercy on their souls.

How many LGBTQ types attend NFL games? If they boycott the games, would anyone notice?

Oooh, let’s not upset .02 percent of the population, that would be catastrophic!

Or not.

So the economic backlash the mayor warned about is self-inflicted??? Throw a temper tantrum much?

Why do we keep having to bow to the 3% of mentally ill people?

Americans are idiots.

DFW had the Super Bowl. They did an analysis, found ZERO economic impact. No big loss if they go somewhere else. Actually the two NASCAR races being in more money and sales tax revenue each year.

You know the liberal mantra:

“If at first you don’t succeed, do what ever it takes to get your way - blackmail, threaten, lie, cheat, ignore the law.”

As I have said before, homosexuals and transsexuals won’t be satisfied until everyone is forced to publicly participate in their mental illness.

According to the local news tonight, NFL doesn’t have plan to move game. I would suspect that their contract was not contingent upon HERO passing. Mayor Porker needs to suck it up but it wouldn’t surprise me if she “offered” to let them out of their contract if they changed their mind - just to get even. Someone needs to tell her that throwing a tantrum just because she didn’t get her way is not a very adult thing to do. EVIL person.

Understand Sylvester Turner said he had no immediate plan to resurrect issue. Politically expedient or truth? - since he’s in a runoff in December with a Caucasian whose first priority is financial versus social issues.

They are only 2% of the population so I am going to go with .5% who actually follow the NFL.
