Southern California athletic director Pat Haden will not attend the College Football Playoff selection committee meeting in Indianapolis this week because of a new Indiana religious-freedom law that critics fear could permit discrimination against gays and lesbians.

Haden posted on Twitter at (at)ADHadenUSC: "I am the proud father of a gay son. In his honor, I will not be attending the CFP committee meeting in Indy this week. (hash)EmbraceDiversity."

The Gaystopo’s own version of the “Hands Up, Don’t Shoot” lie.

I guess Pat Haden’s gay son was to be married in Indiana or something. That would explain his position here. Otherwise, nothing does.

Some Aryan Brotherhood or Westboro Baptist or some ridiculous group like that needs to go force a gay florist or black owned bakery to come to their house for the day and serve them. And then have the despicable ACLU defend them in all the way to SCOTUS against the Gaystapo. This notion that public accomodation supercedes an individuals 1st Amendment Right to NOT perform an act of personal service is gone off the rails.

the faggots should protest by having a million cornhole march.

Yeah, it's called the NYC Saint Patrick's Day Parade.

I’ve been trying to find a Halal butcher shop here to order my Easter ham.

But we’re not very “diverse” so no luck so far.

Being PC means shirking one’s duties and crowing about it.

Haden has always been and asshole. He fails to disappoint in this current event. The Law is the concern of the citizens of Indiana, PERIOD! The NCAA has better things to do as in cleaning up their own act. All of the companies, cities and states that have tried to score brownie points should mind their own business and leave Indiana alone.

Although he was a Trojan hero in the 1970’s, Pat Haden is not popular among many hard-core USC fans for, among other things, his failure to fight the recent NCAA sanctions and his questionable decisions as to head coaches for our football and basketball programs. Many believe his first loyalty is to Notre Dame. One of the nicknames given to him by posters to online football bulletin boards is Bendulac—from Benedict Arnold and Notre Dame du Lac, the full name of the home of the Domers.

Seriously, it's time conservative activists start doing that sort of thing--and then suing the butchers if they fail to comply. Time to fight fire with fire.

Who is Pat Haden and why should we care what he thinks and says? He doesn’t sign my paycheck, pay my medical bills, help fix my house, or even give me some money to help my granddaughter go to college.

So his son is gay. Glad that someone is happy.

15 seconds of fame up, in flames.

Isn’t a Haden some kind of stinky little fish?

His son is an unconvicted turd burglar?
