I don’t get the connection with the Super Bowl. What’s that got to do with it? Is the NFL against the Bill of Rights?

Is the NFL against the Bill of Rights?

...where the NFL chooses to hold its Super Bowl has absolutely zero to do with the Bill of Rights...why should it...?

...and while we’re on the subject, we must acknowledge, as does Ross Douthat at the NYT, that conservative principles are in retreat...just imagine the reverse of this current tiff..let’s say a blue state, like Minnesota, attempted to pass a bill guaranteeing the freedom of openly gay business to refrain from doing business with heteros...what influential organization or entity, with a ton of true clout, would come to the heteros defense, and threaten the state with loss of business...anything come to mind...?

...for that matter, what entity out there right now even remotely approaches the NFL with its crown jewel Super Bowl in terms of influence...and if conservative principle fails to engage the game of football, of all things, on what ground can it choose to fight...?
