Atlanta To Never Get Another Super Bowl...

[mdk]

Seems like a lot of noise for a measly 3% of the population

Gays and their allies are hardly a measly 3%. If they were the NFL wouldn't give the slightest of fucks.

The NFL doesn't give a slightest fuck anyway, it's all pandering to the gaystapo. Fuck'em, I'm tired of the fucking whines and bawling

No, the NFL really doesn't care. They believe it will be good press to throw their weight around concerning Georgia's legislation. Whether it works or not remains to seen.

Once again we are in agreement.

NFL is getting too big for its britches,,,,,massive taxes are in order on these one percenters

We conservatives really need to start hitting back.

Taking a look at monopoly laws in relation to the NFL, if they want to get partisan might be in order.

Good luck. You're dealing with a deep-pocketed organization that figuratively owns a day of the week.

If Obama can ruin coal industry with green taxes NFL can ruined same way.

North Carolina reins in local governments, transgender rule

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina legislators decided to rein in local governments by approving a bill Wednesday that prevents cities and counties from passing their own anti-discrimination rules. Gov. Pat McCrory later signed the legislation, which dealt a blow to the LGBT movement after success with protections in cities across the country.

The Republican-controlled General Assembly took action after Charlotte city leaders last month approved a broad anti-discrimination measure. Critics focused on language in the ordinance that allowed transgender people to use the restroom aligned with their gender identity.

McCrory, who was the mayor of Charlotte for 14 years and had criticized the local ordinance, signed the legislation Wednesday night that he said was "passed by a bipartisan majority to stop this breach of basic privacy and etiquette."

Although 12 House Democrats joined all Republicans present in voting for the bill in the afternoon, later all Senate Democrats in attendance walked off their chamber floor during the debate in protest. Remaining Senate Republicans gave the legislation unanimous approval.

"We choose not to participate in this farce," Senate Minority Leader Dan Blue of Raleigh said after he left the chamber.(this is how ^ Democrats plays games for Politics and your lives)

Senate leader Phil Berger of Eden said the Democrats' decision to leave was a "serious breach of their obligation to the citizens that voted to elect them."

Republicans and their allies have said intervening is necessary to protect the safety of women and children from "radical" action by Charlotte. There have been arguments that any man — perhaps a sex offender — could enter a woman's restroom or locker room simply by calling himself transgender.

"It's common sense — biological men should not me be in women's showers, locker rooms and bathrooms," said GOP Rep. Dean Arp of Monroe before the chamber voted 82-26 for the legislation after nearly three hours of debate.

Gay rights leaders and transgender people said the legislation demonizes the community and espouses bogus claims about increasing the risk of sexual assaults. They say the law will deny lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people essential protections needed to ensure they can get a hotel room, hail a taxi or dine at a restaurant without fear.

"McCrory's reckless decision to sign this appalling legislation into law is a direct attack on the rights, well-being and dignity of hundreds of thousands of LGBT North Carolinians and visitors to the state," Human Rights Campaign President Chad Griffin said in a statement. Civil liberties groups pledged to push for repeal and were weighing legal options. A Thursday evening rally was planned.

GOP leaders scheduled the one-day session at the cost of $42,000 because Charlotte's ordinance was set to take effect April 1. Otherwise, the legislature wouldn't have returned until late April.

Current Charlotte Mayor Jennifer Roberts, who pressed to get the anti-discrimination ordinance approved, said she was appalled by the legislature's actions.

"The General Assembly is on the wrong side of progress. It is on the wrong side of history," Roberts said in a prepared statement. But McCrory said in a release "the basic expectation of privacy in the most personal of settings" was violated by "government overreach and intrusion" by Roberts and the city council.

The law bars local governments statewide from prohibiting discrimination in public places based on sexual orientation and gender identity. A new statewide nondiscrimination law included doesn't contain those specific protections. It directs all public schools, government agencies and public college campuses to require bathrooms or locker rooms be designated for use only by people based on their biological sex. They can offer single-occupancy facilities.

Dumb ass...this thread is about Georgia not North Carolina.

 

[ZackB]

We will see if the goid people of Georgia fear economic "ruin" by loss of an event that costs them tons of money and aggravation more or less than damage to their immortal Souls. Should be interesting to watch.

I don't fear it. Fuck the homos.

NFL to GA religious liberty zealots: No Super Bowl for you!
By chrispytn
Mar 19, 2016

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.

They have so much bad press, they're desperate for an attaboy.

The NFL is slowly dying.

Really? Because their revenues have been growing year after year. If that is "slowly dying" then someone pass me the cigarettes.

The Super Bowl they would have gotten would have been. Disney has been a windfall. They will be losing revenue by passing this bill.

Don't hold your breath. Deal has already threatened a veto. But then again, I guess Marvel and Disney like those high California taxes, because that's the only other place they could go. As for the NFL, I am a Falcons fan, and I can tell ya, what good is a Super Bowl in Atlanta if the Falcons aren't in it?

Lefties don't fool around. They are prepared to punish anyone who cites his/her 1st Amendment right to religious liberty. They become the bigots and they don't even realize it.
