NFL to GA religious liberty zealots: No Super Bowl for you!

Public pressure against the Georgia legislature’s heinous religious liberty bill from this week is mounting. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that the NFL is reconsidering withdrawing Atlanta from consideration for future Super Bowls:

If Georgia chooses to turn the “religious liberty” bill into law, be prepared: Atlanta may not get a Super Bowl.

That was the suggestion from the NFL on Friday when the league released a statement in response to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s question about whether the league had any position on Georgia House Bill 757.

The statement from league spokesman Brian McCarthy reads, “NFL policies emphasize tolerance and inclusiveness, and prohibit discrimination based on age, gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, or any other improper standard. Whether the laws and regulations of a state and local community are consistent with these policies would be one of many factors NFL owners may use to evaluate potential Super Bowl host sites.”

The NFL joins many other national companies, including Delta, Coca-Cola, Salesforce and the film/tv industry, expressing major dissatisfaction with this bill.

In the short term, this is all about pressuring Gov. Nathan Deal at this point. He’s got until May 3rd to decide whether or not to veto this bill. But even if he does, there’s a longer-term concern: a possibility that the Georgia legislature may override his veto.

It would settle for elimination of the sales tax breaks they receive and public funding of their work facilities.

 

[Stephanie]

anyone else notice how the slimy left uses a rotation in how they use people for their dirty politics? they started with homosexual, then moved onto black folks, then just used the Hispanics and Illegal immigrants, went onto Muslims and walla now back to the start of the rotation with the Homosexual.

that's one sick party filled with a bunch of red boned commies/fascist.

So you threaten people for passing legislation that prevents discrimination towards people of faith?

And you think this is a good thing?

Big Crop is coming to extort and blackmail you. Don't lettuce them beet you over the head!

 

[Timmy]

Oh the irony that you "religious freedom" folks are nothing but deceitful, hate filled liars .

It's an anti gay bill. Nothing to do with religious freedom. Its all about legalized discrimination against the gay folk . Jesus would spit in your face .

 

[ZackB]

The PC left has got the NFL by the balls, as evidenced by this and all the rest of its bending to pressure. It's no longer just about football. Now it has to be a leader in tolerance, whether you want it or not.

Uh, I don't think Jesus would "spit in your face".

 

[Preacher]

Seeya! Leave. Don't care. Faggots would stop assaulting business owners with their petty whining bullshit and lawsuits and running to mommy media every time they are told NO! Then this bill wouldn't be necessary.

Normally he wouldn't . But since you fake ass Christian Right wingers use his name to justify hate, he'd probably would go that far .

Societies change over time. They evolve, or devolve, however you want to look at it. Eventually everyone is going to accept homo marriage. That's just the way we are moving.

However, it takes time, so you have to have patience. It took me awhile to come around. But eventually I did. But keep this in mind - the proponents of any kind of change are not doing their cause any good by acting like fascist assholes ramming stuff down people's throats.

50 years ago homo marriage was unheard of. Does that make those people bad, homophobic bastards? Of course not. They were acting in conformity with the mores of the time. In fact I'd wager that a lot, if not all, of today's proponents of gay marriage had parents and grandparents who were not receptive to gay marriage. The same goes for slavery in America. Were all slave owners racist bastards? No. For the most part the slaves were well fed and well cared for. Why would a slave owner hurt their own property. It is illogical. But times changed, slaves were freed, legal protections were extended to blacks, and now they are legal equals.

If gays and their proponents want us to accept them and recognize their marriage, then they need to recognize that people have certain sensibilities and that it is going to take time for those to change. Afterall, it is THEM asking US to change. It is not going to happen over night. It sure as hell is not going to happen in a positive way if proponents are yelling at us and calling us a lot of vile names.

And guess what - not everyone will ever accept gays and gay marriage, and it is their prerogative to not accept it. You can fight for an attain legal equality. However, you have no right to social equality. You have to earn that on your own.

How do you know that Jesus won't say, "Motherfucker! Why are all these dudes kissing each other?!? Holy fuck, they are going to burn in hell!"?
