AWESOME: Gov Greg Abbott RESPONDS to NFL warning about new Texas bathroom bill
-
The NFL is warning Texas that if it passes a bathroom bill, similar to North Carolina’s bathroom bill, that it could put future super bowls being played in Texas in jeopardy:
– The NFL sharpened its warning to Texas on Friday about a “bathroom bill” targeting transgender people, suggesting for the first time that the football-crazed state could miss out on hosting another Super Bowl if the proposal is enacted.“If a proposal that is discriminatory or inconsistent with our values were to become law there, that would certainly be a factor considered when thinking about awarding future events,” league spokesman Brian McCarthy said in response to an email question about the Texas bill.Although the NFL released a statement about inclusiveness earlier this month prior to the Super Bowl in Houston, it didn’t address whether the bill could put future such events at risk for the state.The NFL has selected future Super Bowl sites through 2021, none of which are in Texas. Dallas hosted the game in 2011 and three Super Bowls have been played in Texas since 2004, which is second only to Florida.Under the Texas bill, people would be required to use bathrooms that correspond to the sex on their birth certificate. It’s similar to a North Carolina law that prompted the NCAA to pull seven championship events from that state last year and is backed by Republican Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, a powerful figure in the state who had cited the Houston Super Bowl as proof that big events will stick around.Greg Abbott saw this article over the weekend and responded with a fantastic tweet:
“NFL decision makers also benched Tom Brady last season. It ended with NFL handing the Super Bowl trophy to Brady.”
LOL! Gotta love Abbott’s apparent resolve on this. He’s not going to back down just because of flimsy threats from the NFL. No, he’s going to do what must be done to protect women and children from bathroom predators. And that’s exactly the right position to take, just as it was in NC.
-
Fuck the NFL.
-
can't believe even the NFL is in the hands of soros/dems/etc.
hell with em.
-
That's a very cute tweet but it doesn't mean much. Talk to me again when Texas is losing millions in potential revenue
-
I read in our local paper a while back where some women had complained about a man in the women's restroom who had been loitering around inside. This is exactly one of the reasons why a bill like this is necessary. If a law like this is not in place wouldn't this man only have to say he is a transgender?
To to cater to a few we are putting at risk and inconveniencing the majority.
-
I imagine loitering around a bathroom and being a public nuisance still won't be allowed.
And what id the majority is fine with these bathrooms? Or god forbid, unisex bathrooms

the Ninth circuit court that has been overruled often, because they are
owned by lefists/dems.
Meanwhile, libs gloat about liberal judges appointed by Bush. It is actually true.
Karl Rove was the driver behind that - it placated the dems, reached out to them.
Surely nobody thinks that happened with a dem president.

Funny how our mainstream media fails to report the fact that the liberal ninth circuit court's rulings get overturned by far more than any other federal court. In all the stories I have seen on national news they never put that in...I wonder why?
-
and why would the msm allow itself to be owned?
seems the left is dangerous to careers... like, if you do what they want in
Congress, and in liberal state governments, and even liberal school districts,
etc etc.. they will leave you alone. But you disagree with them, don't do what they
want... all hell will break loose, they will slander/libel you, protest in front of your home,
threaten to kill you, pretend some little thing you didn't do, was a giant thing
that you did,... try to get you fired, try to get your family's business to fail...
whatever they can think to do to "fight" over control, they are ready to do it now.

WATCH: Gov Greg Abbott just CALLED OUT the NFL for trying to interfere in Texas business!
Texas Governor Greg Abbott was on with Fox News today, calling out the NFL over trying to interfere with legislation in Texas. Abbott took great umbrage at the NFL trying to dictate to Texas what is acceptable and basically told the NFL to mind their own business, pointing out the ample problems the NFL has with its own players.
Here’s a partial transcript:
The NFL has its own share of problems. The NFL coddled its players who refused to stand for the National Anthem. The NFL has its own problems with people, such as violence against women. The NFL has its own problems to solve. The last thing the NFL needs to do is to get in the business of telling states how to operate their own political operations.Imagine this. If the NFL tries to come down on the state of Texas, I might just pass a bill in the state of Texas mandating that all NFL players have to stand and put their hand on their heart when the National Anthem is played.If the NFL really wants to solve this problem about bathrooms for people who are transgender, the NFL should impose on all of its teams to put their own bathrooms into their stadiums to accommodate those with transgenders as opposed to trying to dictate to states what laws they must comply with!You can watch the rest in the clip above.
I must say I love how Abbott isn’t backing down from this fight. It’s ridiculous on its face that the NFL would rather sacrifice the safety and privacy of women and children by trying to keep Texas from passing this bill, and I’m glad Abbott is calling them out on the carpet.

He's free to do as he pleases, and he's free to lose out on the revenue.
-
sounds like extortion to me. "You pay us protection money, or we'll let you
lose your business to our thugs"
-
Uhh... The NFL is completely within their right to not do business in Texas because they disagree with the laws there. Same thing that's been happening to NC.
-
sure. but establishing football teams in states doesn't give them the right to
political run those states. Sure, they can pull their superbowls from Texas.
but they can't try to be the Texas gov with threats of economic intimidation, that's
a bit different. Pull em, don't pull em... but using the ability to pull them as coercion..
not the same thing.

We have elevated a mental disorder to a civil right. One may delude themselves into thinking they are the wrong sex but their DNA and physical bodies say differently.
Not to mention the rights of the majority being trampled on to cater to a few. Women and girls should have the right to go to a public restroom without any men present. Seems like common sense but common sense is getting harder to find these days.
-
here's something else - there are a lot of republican governors - they coud all tell
the NFL to go shove their superbowls. Let the NFL have the superbowl in the middle
of a blizzard in Green Bay. and have a nice day, NFL liberal sombeitches.
Getting into political coercion is the worst idea the NFL could have. Letting kaeperclusterfooknick
alienate half of the NFL audience was an indicator.

True. I wonder that how many of them let their children go into "unisex" bathrooms.
I doubt hardly any. It seems to be more taking down of American society/structure/culture
to effect a new utopian kind of existence in gov. Star Trek happyland equality, especially
everybody gets to win the lottery and be rich....
Something not mentally healthy or normal.
Sometimes I wonder about people who go off the deep end over all this, and wonder
if it's like John Lennon's song "imagine there's no country, it's easy if you try..." etc etc.
Dreaming of utopia, and hate reality and everything in it accordingly.
Mental disorders.

What if the majority doesn't want the law?
And again, for the thousandth time, you don't get freedom of consequence.
