Hours before Republican Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer vetoed the controversial "religious freedom" bill on Wednesday that would have allowed businesses to refuse service to individuals, including gays and lesbians, based on religious grounds, the NFL started exploring options to potentially move the 2015 Super Bowl from Arizona if Brewer signed the law.

Me and mine have been drifting away from pro football for a few years now, and have been acquiring a taste for college ball (same goes for basketball). The events of the past few months pretty much guarantee we’ll say ‘adios’ to the nfl in all but a very few games.

The nerve of these NFL deadbeats charging people 100.00USD a game and massive parking fees along with 10 dollar beers is insanity!These people are way overpaid just like the federal government.

Huf!

My father was invited to try out with the Lions. Still Have the letter.

He wisely declined, thinking it was a bad career choice - the college they chose for his scholarship educated him too well at the behest of his guardian (auntie)

What to make of it? in 50 years, it will be a forgotten gay rights organization like PBS.

can we then say, your great grandfather was a draftee for the NFL? Weill they say, He was gay? No. But he was a marine, a fighter pilot, a great athlete, a great family man, uncle, father, nephew, friend, husband. A great business man, salesman (top in the country at age 45, corporate VP big company)

The other subject would take over.

The NFL is an idiotic group of Neanderthals for this.

Done with them

This isn't the first time the tax payer supported NFL has threaten a City with a Super Bowl , Tampa has a private Pirate Crew that was all white and they wouldn't give Tampa unless they integrated the Crew.

I had pretty much given up on the NFL and most other professional sports. This definitely shuts the door.

Are there any institutions that haven’t been taken over by the left? Sports and the military were the last ones standing, and now they’ve gone the way of hollywood, the press, the schools, etc, etc.

Now I know what the NFL stands for:

National Freeloaders League (tax exempt)

National Frightened Leaders

National Fubar League

When do women start playing in the National Feminist League?

Now the players are often thugs and the leadership is a bunch of pussies.

Another American tradition dying at the hands of the feminist Leftist males.

Why stop at the SB? Why not pull the Arizona franchise? They could become the Los Angeles Pillow Biters.

Anyone and everyone that believes in the US Constitution, believes the Word of God, believes in morals, has to write or call the NFL and tell them they nwill not accept the NFL threatening or interefering with Americans establishing laws to protect the Constitutional rights of the citizens.

I will agree with the homos as soon as the United Negro College Fund starts sending money to white, hispanic, and asian kids.

That’s it. I’m done with the NFL. I’m going to avoid watching any NFL football games this next year. Just like I have done for the last decade or so.

Don't insult Neanderthals. They didn't dance around in pink tu tu's praising people who have sex with other men's anuses.

I've already started digging my family's catacombs. It might be a good idea for the rest of you to get started so we can eventually link them up.

Same one which forces taxpayers to pay for its stadiums.

Don't get me started, taxpayer funded palaces dedicated to over-filling the pockets of billionaire owners and frequently criminal millionaire players so that crony capitalists can impress their whore dates at the expense of, you guessed it, taxpayers.

And, the more I watch, the more I am convinced that ALL professional sports is like professional wrestling.
