It's why Satan gave Obama power - at least temporarily. It's why Colin Kapernick and a few others really aren't a surprise. Insurrection; even by millionaires. Liberalism continues to prove it's pretty much a mental disorder.

To pervert and destroy. And he did that for 8 years; twisting and perverting.

Yea, I bet those players really want to play more games in states like CA and NY that charge them state tax for each game they play there than TX that has no income tax.

"Now we have the majors and their executives. Transport, food, communication, housing, luxury, energy. A few of us making decisions on a global basis for the common good.

"Corporate society takes care of everything. And all it asks of anyone, all it has ever asked of anyone ever, is not to interfere with management decisions."

[apocalypto]

For NFL and NBA to start dictating a state’s bathroom policy is absurd.

[Rennes Templar]

“Why do the NBA and NFL bosses want men in women’s bathrooms and locker rooms? Don’t they have wives and sisters? Are they okay with this?”

Those bosses have been infected with the rainbow virus. Too late to appeal to their once traditional family values.

Once in awhile, I mention Robert Foxworth’s statement to the board of Thorn Industries in “Omen II”. I assume your quote is from that football movie; I’ve never seen it (North Dallas Forty?). But your post reminded me of O2.

It would have no effect on their wives or sisters or daughters because, if they are in attendance, they are up in the VIP/Stratosphere boxes and don't have to mix with the hoi polloi.

The same way that Congress could require everyone to buy into Obamacare, but exempted themselves and their families.

Kennedy put a man on the moon.

Hussein put a perv in the ladies room.

If TX and NC both stood firm, that would take out four basketball teams and two football teams. Keep goin’ libs. Pretty soon, the only place you’ll be willing to visit is NY and LA.

They're so arrogant that they never even considered that.

[Socon-Econ]

To all business oriented Republicans: No more subsidies for sports teams. We are in a cultural war with too many of their owners.

[jiggyboy]

“Rollerball” - the corporations are now in charge of the world.

[Gay State Conservative]

Haven't watched the NBA since Bird,Parish,McHale and DJ left the Celtics.

Correct. Absolutely willing to sell-out American workers and their families; yes, even to the point of death. Witness the liar Arlen Specter (gone) at his town hall where he said Obamacare must be passed very, very quickly. These whores and prostitutes couldn't possibly care less about you nor me as long as they pocket some cash from it. Include in that the traitor John Roberts.

Something about messing with Texas.....???

Hey Texans, if you folks aren’t spitting mad, then I don’t know what to say. Time for a new league, new sports...

I hate to say it but tis a fact that there is too much (L)N in NBA and NFL.

[MichaelCorleone]

What strikes me is the disturbing silence by the wives of the players and coaches, and ticket buyers who are also parents. Not to mention the male and female talkingheads who have plenty to say about everything else.

Does no one understand or care what this could mean for posterity?

This is an outrage and has no place in civilized society.

[SaveFerris]

yep - IMHO, hence, this Time magazine cover from last year.

"Time talks 2016" (election)

[redcatcherb412]

Does anyone in Texas give a flip if any NFL or NBA spoiled millionaire ballplayer uses the boys or girls toilet in the stadium team locker room when they play ?

They will not kill the goose that lays the golden eggs of cash. Bank on it (pun intended). The world is rapidly dividing.

Luke 12:51-53 King James Version (KJV)

51 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:

52 For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.

53 The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

when state’s rights collide with pro sports,..

Can we get a timeout here?
