NFL more forceful on Texas 'bathroom bill' after Super Bowl
MSN News ^ | February 10, 2017 | PAUL J. WEBER

The NFL is expressing sharper warnings about a Texas ''bathroom bill'' targeting transgender persons than statements prior to the Super Bowl in Houston.

NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy on Friday raised the prospect of Texas losing out on future Super Bowls if there were laws ''discriminatory or inconsistent with our values.'' He said such measures ''would certainly be a factor'' taken into consideration.

That's more forceful than an NFL statement earlier this month that more generally endorsed inclusiveness.

The NFL is again behaving badly and encouraging the homosexual agenda.

First Goodell ordered the Rams to draft an openly homosexual player who clearly should never have been in the draft. Then they broadcast this homosexual on TV tongue kissing his boyfriend.

Then the NFL made false and dishonest charges against Tom Brady that could easily be disproved by simple high school science.

Then they supported Colin Kaepernick and his public disrespect for America and the American flag.

Now the NFL is telling the State of Texas that unless they adopt the homosexual agenda regarding bathroom access they will be punished.

Why can’t the NFL have no position on the matter? Obviously the persons and families that go to their games or watch on TV or buy their merchandise don’t give a crap.

Next year will be even worse for them than last year - they seem intent in doing the Kodak thing and going so socially progressive that they fold.

Why wouldn’t they? Football is gay.

I am so glad the National Faggot League has so much money and influence. Taking their velocity down and giving it to something else will be that more rewarding.

When the gutless, limp-wristed owners start losing enough money from their libtard, perversion-loving, moron commissioner's political support of everything Demonic Party...

Good, let them put their money were their months are and set an example. Why not let the cheerleaders play with the big boys? And let’s not stop there. Perhaps Michael Jordan should call for the NBA and WNBA to merge, like the way they merged remnants of the old ABA, (the Nets,Spurs, Pacers,Nuggets) in the 70’s. And the other leagues as well as the NCAA can work to end “gender specific” teams.

Fan boycotts of games & gear are all well and good, but what's really needed is a player's strike until sane, apolitical League management is put in place.

Many here have carried on and on about how the league's problems could be laid at Goodell's feet and those of a few crybabies, but that the majority of player's were actually AMERICANS.

So let's see the player's union organize said strike, and find out once and for all if that's true.

As someone who resides in the Houston suburbs - lots of us do not want another Super Bowl anywhere in Texas or men in the women’s bathroom.

Your values, NFL? Protesting the national anthem, beating up women in elevators and committing murder are your values. No thanks.

Know what NFL?

Piss in yer own pot.

How DARE you try to dictate your preferences over the preference of the majority of voters in a state.
TAKE your effin ball and go home.

We put up with the same crap here in NC. And all the mealy-mouthed whining about how much money has left.

SCREW it.

My wife should not have to be assaulted by some guy playing barbie.
