NCAA President Mark Emmert says the association is "very pleased" with revisions to Indiana's religious objections law that critics feared would lead to discrimination against gays and lesbians.
Indiana lawmakers unveiled an amended bill Thursday morning.

Let the low intelligence boys start bouncing their balls again! The crisis is over!!! Hallelujah!
So, the religious protection law has been transformed into a religious oppression law in less than a week?
A state without a sodomite ENDA now virtually has one, after trying to protect itself from the effects of one.
Total insanity.
Still waiting to hear whether a Christian baker can now refuse to bake a cake for a sodomite union.
Yup. Or if a Christian photographer has to stand behind the camera and tell everyone to smile while projectile vomiting.
Stop all Federal money going to NCAA schools.
Equal under the Law , Nope . How long before the first business becomes a Target ?
The officious arrogance of this fellow should not go unchallenged. Yes American Colleges have been dumbed down! Yes there are probably more egregious examples of the pathetic quality of discourse in today's academia. But again, this needs to be addressed. Using a position of this sort--where the threat is removing a form of public entertainment from a State that dares to protect the freedom of its people--must not just be treated as "business as usual."

Not over yet! Angie’s List is still not happy.
Statement from Angie’s List CEO Bill Oesterle: ‘Our position is that this fix is insufficient. There was no repeal of RFRA and no end to discrimination of homosexuals in Indiana. Employers in most of the state of Indiana can fire a person simply for being a lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or questioning. That’s just not right and that’s the real issue here. Our employees deserve to live, work and travel with open accommodations in any part of the state’ - @KevinWTHR
I wonder how many consumers on both sides of the issue have canceled their Angie’s Lust subscriptions?
Now Connecticut can release it’s coaches to go to the Final Four festivities? Or will they have more fun wringing their hands and pontificating, watching from their couches?
Its official: NAACP=Gays. The groups of professional victims are now joined at the hip.
...”Stop all Federal money going to NCAA schools.”...
Respect for the NCAA has dropped dramatically over the past few days. The consequences will not show up for a while but they will come. Corporations, Sports Associations, Celebrities, and others are not the government and I would dare to say they know little about the Constitution of the US, yet, they swing their weight around against Christians because??? Why, it is because they can! Where do they get all that money? Why, they get it from mostly Christians who love basketball and football. They have taken the first steps toward being viewed through a different kind of glass. Good job, NCAA!

If you disagree, disconnect yourself from “Angie’s List.”
I do not understand how the new law is an religious oppression law if a person is allowed to continue to practice their faith.
What does the NCAA have to do with any of this?
A person’s skin color is a physical trait.
Homosexuality is a behavior.
How hard is that for people to understand?
Oh, they don’t want to. They want to make propaganda points.
“What does the NCAA have to do with any of this?”
One of their stupid game shows is being hosted in Indianopolis this month. They were threatening the state with some forms of nonsense over this law. Yes, we live in a nation where a game show has more influence over government than people. Someday, “The Price is Right” or “Survivor” might have influence like “College Basketball”.
I am getting so sick of this ... I couldn’t care less about someone’s lifestyle ... I simply hate having things being forced down my throat.
The next time I back off selling something like a pinball machine to someone that I think isn’t capable of maintaining it, I might get sued if the buyer is part of some protected class and thinks I was discriminating against them on the basis of what they do with their frigging relationships.
I learned early on not to sell certain things to casual buyers regardless of all the warnings and disclaimers you can think of ... pinball machines/arcade games tend to turn into 300 pound paperweights if not maintained meticulously ... many people simply don’t get that and think that you ripped them off when it eventually breaks leading to incessant phone calls and internet bitching. I find it amusing that a legal path exists where I could get SUED looking out for a buyer.
This isn’t the United States anymore.
