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

Posted on 02/10/2017 11:06:53 AM PST by detective

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 players are some of the least tolerant, least PC people on the planet. Put hot mics on the field and sideline for the whole game and see how many times the words n##er and fa@@ot are used.

By the time the super bowl cycles back to Texas this perversion fad will have faded away.

“Ska-rew” Godell and the NFL! I wouldn’t walk across the street to see an NFL game if they offered it to me for free! The NFL and all those who support this perverted travesty can all go pound sand!!!

First I’ve heard of it. Of course, it would be AFTER the Super Bowl in Houston. The Nonfunctional Losers is at it again. Watch the ratings drop, yet again, next year!

Combine that with the San Diego Chargers (my team) ceasing to exist, and the Houston Texans (where I live and have PSL’s) moving training camp to West Virginia, even though there’s the Methodist Training Center across the street from the stadium that’s purpose built for their training, and the season ticket price went up 6.5%?

I’ll pay for them - and sell every damn game. Make a profit, too.

You forgot to mention the six New England Patriot players who have refused to go to the White House.

I’ve been a passionate fan of NFL football for more than 60 years.

But that passion is slowly bleeding away.

The NFL also has a structural talent problem.

32 teams are about 16 teams too many.

There are absolutely not 32 highly talented head coaches in the world.

Same problem with player talent.

At most, there are 15 quarterbacks in the league that play at a consistently high level.

Bottom Line - the quality of play has deteriorated for at least a decade.

Mix in the new Hard Left political element, and I’m just about ready to spend my Sunday afternoons at the Library.

They can do whatever they want because football is bigger than us. People may not like what they do but will not stop watching a football game. They can tell us who we’ll go potty with and we’ll like it.

It is all social engineering for your little boys who watch sports. Toxic, irrational “culture” soaks into the children.

So was the whole Bruce Jenner joke—they are trying to destroy the patriarchy and destroy the Age of Reason (Christianity) for the irrational “utopia” of Marxism, where Up is Down, Vice is Virtue and Boys are Girls.

The illuminati are all sodomites (Sandusky was their “fall” guy since they run the pedophile rings around the World. None of the elites above him saw a day in jail and Sandusky was the supplier of boys for the elites.. You have to let them sodomize you to be in their secret society club (skull and bones, etc., so you are under their control for life (bribery).

It is all about emasculating and warping males so they remain puerile and immoral and civil society will collapse for the NWO of complete slavery. They are forcing their Luciferean faith on us——all conditioning and programming of the little children to cause gender confusion.

It is all to destroy the Chrsitian worldview (reason and logic) and force Satanism (or Marxism) on children so they remain irrational and dumb for life-—removed from Reality and the Laws of Nature and individual Natural Rights from God (are ALL gone!!!!)

The NFL position on this subject is simply reprehensible. These people have decided upon acceptance within a particular sub-set of society that requires a political compliance reinforcing their hallucinations in the face of medical analysis. Besides kneeling for the National Anthem, here is another reason to boycott their football games. When my younger son and I discussed this sort of issue, he said I better not look back to search for my America, because I could be turned into a pillar of salt.

Here is the letter I did related to the Oregon policy on transgender. The important part here is the links at the end of the letter.

Subject: Oregon Transgender Policy

The Oregon Department of Education presented their policy interpretation allowing men to enter women’s bathrooms and lockers rooms based on current gender feelings. This asymmetrical approach results in a random walk through reflective life. When comforting lights of popular expressions drive decisions, no opportunity remains to consider insights such that as from John Hopkins.

At one time their Sexual Behaviors Consultation Unit conducted candidates through a lengthy preparation process culminating with gender reassignment surgery. Study caused them to question whether any emotional resolution was achieved and they eliminated the practice in 1979. Dr. Paul R. McHugh says, “that transgenderism is a mental disorder that merits treatment….These policy makers and the media are doing no favors either to the public or the transgendered by treating their confusions as a right in need of defending rather than as a mental disorder that deserves understanding, treatment and prevention.”

Shouldn’t transgenderism first be assessed as a medical issue? Women are terribly uncomfortable with a mercurial revelation that they believe violates their inherent natural right to feel safe and private in their persons. This policy provides many the opportunities to indulge in deviant impulses. The policy thrusts a few into intimate political theater where they portray a feeble caricature of a woman, but without evidence of benefit to their psychological condition. Considering John Hopkins’ experience with reassignment surgery, shouldn’t this radical transformation of society await careful review?

The NFL’s at it again, trying to drop ratings even lower. Since when do the values of the National FOOT-FRIGGIN-BALL League include ANYTHING related to who pisses where?!

“...discriminatory or inconsistent with our values.’’

And the fools wonder why their ratings are down. I only watched one game this year — the Super Bowl, and with that only about two quarters. It was because Hillary was playing and I wanted to see her get beat again.

Demons is right. The word liberal is way too mild. What we are seeing is flat out evil, not liberal and not stupidity. The term “Demons”, is much more accurate.

The demons have zero desire to make America great again.

The NFL no longer exists in my house. All traces of the league and its teams, as I discover them, are being eliminated. The NFL is no more.

The NCAA is as guilty as the NFL for taking sides in the North Carolina bathroom issue. They switched a bowl game from Charlotte to Orlando. As a resident, I had nothing to do with the event here in FL. The NCAA is every bit as tiresome as the NFL. Boycott the league AND its advertisers, all the process does is raise the price of goods and put money in the “non-profit” league’s pockets and make wealthy men of people playing a game.
