The State Of Texas Will Be Banning Transgender Bathrooms, The NFL Is Now Threatening Texas(tr)

The NFL Is Now Threatening Texas, But The Governor Of Texas Tells The NFL To Go Straight To Hell!

A coalition of pastors known as the Texas Pastor Council that spearheaded the defeat of Houston’s Equal Rights Ordinance, known also as the “Bathroom Bill,” is now taking aim at the National Football League after the organization threatened to make Texas pay if the state passes a proposed transgender bathroom law introduced last month.

Senate Bill 6, one of Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick’s legislative priorities, would require everyone to use bathrooms in public schools, government buildings and public universities based on “biological sex,” said The Texas Tribune. The measure would also pre-empt local nondiscrimination ordinances that allow transgender Texans to use the bathroom that corresponds with their gender identity.

In a statement to the Houston Chronicle, NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said the proposed legislation is inconsistent with the values of the NFL and the league would respond with penalties against the state if it becomes law.

“If a proposal that is discriminatory or inconsistent with our values were to become law (in Texas), that would certainly be a factor considered when thinking about awarding future events,” McCarthy said.

“The NFL embraces inclusiveness,” McCarthy added. “We want all fans to feel welcomed at our events, and NFL policies prohibit discrimination based on age, gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, or any other improper standard.”

The pastors in a statement Wednesday said they would not be bullied into abandoning their religious values.

“We demand to know what role the NFL has in dictating the values of Texas, interfering with something outside of regulating their own sport and placing our women and children in harms way to give preference to one tenth of one percent who are confused about their gender,” they said.

The NFL has hated the Cowboys for 50 years. This does not surprise me.

Quite frankly our family doesn’t care if Houston hosts any more Super Bowls. As a matter of fact, haven’t heard much from the Houston Mayor about exactly how much money we “made” on the Super Bowl and what all that net profit will be spent for. NFL needs to get its own house in order before trying to tell Texas how to run its state.

Let me put it this way... The NFL needs Texas a WHOLE lot more than Texas needs the NFL.

So the NFL is worried that trannies won’t come to football games now?

For the 1/10 of 1% of the general public, of which transgenders are, at most, 50% of that prior number of those who care about football, Goodell is sacrificing the huge numbers of normal people who do/did care about football.

Next, Goodell will be lambasting the whole US for being against “infant rape until death.”

Since when did the NFL become the ultimate arbiter of public laws?

“The next move should be to BAN the AIRING of the NFL over the Public Airwaves in the State of Texas because they are a discriminatory organization.”

The State of Texas does not control airwaves.

Yep. Hey NFL...

Fans of the Dallas Cowboys are approximately 40% of all fans in the NFL. Their base is huge. Goodell seriously needs to have his brain checked for chronic traumatic encephalopathy.

Good luck Gov. Abbott, we here in N.C lost a good governor over this.

That's because you need to build a wall around the RTP and CARY (Contained Area for Relocated Yankees).

Where exactly does the NFL see itself fitting into the normalization phase of the revolution?

The NFL is in a flat spin.

and when goodell ejects, may the canopy just float above the cockpit so his ejected body will slam right into it.
