"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.

If the NFL takes the Super Bowl away from Houston over this LBGT vote issue, I am finished with them ... forever ...

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.

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.

“Though HERO lost at the ballot box, the fight is far from over, according to supporters and Parker, who is Houston’s first openly gay mayor.”

You see, the Left NEVER accepts defeat, unlike their Conservative counterparts. The LEFT NEVER gives up.

Libs are bullies.

Treat them as such.

Typical leftist BS. When their measures pass they say “the people have spoken”. When they don’t, this is what you get.

Houston has already called the Oiler’s bluff. That’s why they are now the Tennessee Titans. I wouldn’t get my hopes up about the prospect of an NFL boycott changing anything.

Would most folks in Texas even notice if the NFL moved the Super Bowl? I mean, it’s been a long time since NFL-caliber football has been played in the state....
