They didn’t have a contract? The NFL now writes or vetoes legislation?
Looks like it, doesn’t it, Jan Brewer?
Probably about the time you and others make the connection and stop voting for lesser evils that empower them. Because as long as the NFL and pro sports orgs are fear free for their tax status, they will keep pushing further and further.
And lesser evil politicians will never hold that against them. Can’t have it both ways Cherry. Bummer huh?
FUNFL.
I gave up on them years ago. I haven’t watched or listened to a game in over 20 years.
Before that I used to have a pair of season tickets.
One day, I just said, “Screw this!” and never looked back. It’s nice to not be stuck in front of the TV every Sunday. That instantly made college football much less interesting and now I have my Saturdays free, too.
The older I get, the less I need to be “entertained.”
I wonder how many will stop watching NFL because it’s getting too gay.
Jan Brewer would have vaulted to frontrunner in the 2016 Presidential election had she signed the bill.
And the NFL could pull out of the United States for all I care.
I can easily see the desperate pleas to not risk the Superbowl.
Westgate business owners have taken a beating and the mall is barely staying above water with all of the hockey drama and other financial disasters, like every day since obama was elected.
I'm not saying I approve of Christian persecution, but I'm absolutely seeing where financial pressures might compel the governor to find a way out of signing the bill into law.
It’s an outrage that the NFL threatens a state over a political issue regardless of the issue. Talk about bullying!
There was a walpo ANALysis of Arizona politics reprinted in the local rag today. The summary would be: Arizona is GOP ultra conservative territory filled with homophobes and racists who believe the missing link in the white house was not born here. Brewer only vetoed the bill because the NFL threated to pull its game over the anti fag bill (of course it was mischaracterized). No mention of course that both senators from that state are not conservatives rather just some anti GOP rhetoric citing that their older population tends to be socially conservative, a new stigma.
There’s another lawsuit where two gay Texans are trying to get married. This is a full assault using the judicial system because the legislature and the voters won’t legalize it.
Hey nfl... you are banned from my TV and my home forever... embrace satan and infect all of your players with aids... it will happen and no one will feel sorry for you or your players. We are also going to lobby our next Conservative government to remove your tax exempt status. You are barred from any political activity being a 501C3 corporation and you fat cat billionaires need to pay if we slobs must pay. Your free ride has its wheels coming off.
The NFL blacklisted Tim Tebow, too.
The religious faith freedom bill is contrary to who the NFL is these days.
Taxpayers pay for a stadium so that millionaire football players can be watched by millionaires in their VIP boxes while average people can pay thru the nose for tickets.
makes sense to me.
You mean the tax exempt NFL that has a tax free status?

It would be interesting to learn the content of the convos between the WH and the NFL in recent years.
First, we learn that the NFL is helping to push Obamacare, and, lately, they seem to be really working overtime on the homosexualists’ agenda.
You go to church on Sunday right? Their games are on Sunday. They need to de-Christianize you so you’ll watch their pitiful product. They’ve been competing with Christianity since their inceptions.
That’s a false dichotomy if ever there was one.
But do the important people make money? Will Brewer make money? Will her donors?
when will the NFL stand up for MY rights as a Christian?....why is okay to discriminate against me and my kind?????

I am pretty sure they are working very hard for the other side. Not a fan of professional sports, and, fortunately, the husband does not watch much football any more. But I have seen enough in the last few years to detect the momentum in the NFL’s effort to work against Judeo-Christian values.
Their half-time shows have gotten increasingly sexually explicit over the past few years, for example. Now, we have the emphasis on homosexuality.
Yet people continue to watch. They complain about these issues but will not boycott the NFL.
