The NFL has been down this politically correct road before.

They pulled the 1993 Super Bowl out of Phoenix, because Arizona at that time did not have a state holiday for Martin Luther King. The Super Bowl had already been awarded, but the NFL revoked that Super Bowl, and gave it to Pasadena instead.

Eventually Arizona did decide to have a state holiday for King, and has had Super Bowls since.

I completely disagree with the NFL being so politically correct as to withhold Super Bowls, but the point is, they have done it before, and could do it again.

The question is, whether states will cave to PC just to get a Super Bowl and make the NFL happy.

I wonder how many fans would sign on to a ticket boycott.
