NCAA says prop 1 effects Houston as a hosting site

HOUSTON – A day after voters struck down an anti-discrimination ordinance that created protections for gay and transgendered people in Houston, the NFL issued a statement saying the league will not alter plans to have the city host Super Bowl LI in 2017. The NCAA, however, said that while it won't impact the 2016 Final Four, it could deter future events in the city.
quote:
The ordinance, which was put in place by Houston's city council in May of 2014, made it more difficult for individuals or businesses to deny services, housing and employment to others on the basis of age, race, sexual identity and gender identity. Opposing lawmakers fought to have the ordinance struck down, and the Texas Supreme Court required the ordinance go to a vote, where it was repealed by a roughly 60-40 percent margin on Tuesday. Among the arguments, opponents of the ordinance argued that it could aid sexual predators by allowing men to use a sexual identity claim to enter women's bathrooms and then commit assaults. The mayor of Houston, Annice Parker, called that campaign one of "fear-mongering and deliberate lies" and framed the failure of the ordinance as a broad stroke of injustice.

The NFL's stance was softer, as it made clear the repeal will not impact Houston as a Super Bowl city. "This will not affect our plans for Super Bowl LI in 2017," NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said in a statement. "We will work closely with the Houston Super Bowl Host Committee to make sure all fans feel welcomed at our events. Our policies emphasize tolerance and inclusiveness, and prohibit discrimination based on age, gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, or any other improper standard."
Their notification on my phone was better clickbait

In my eyes, the NCAA doesn't exist to be a sociopolitical lobbying organization. But what do I know.

This is about allowing men, dressed as women, to use women's bathrooms and vice versa?

So they have no problem making money off college players while being a non-profit, but this is the line in the sand? Nice.

So the fact the Houston did not have this ordinance in place when ever they picked the 2016 FF didn't bother them, but now that Houston still doesn't have it, it is a problem?
all those groups are protected under existing federal laws at a bare minimum.

Good! Now if every city in the United States votes to disallow grown men in dresses from hanging out in high girls lockers room and taking care of waste disposal in women's restrooms, then the NCAA and the NFL will quit trying to force the fantasy, politically correct mind control and scare tactics over everyone.

It wasn't a "non-discrimination" policy. It was a "bend over backwards to accommodate .0001% of the population" ordinance.

I don't care as long as Benny Simmons and the Tigers will still win the national championship 3.5 hours away in Houston.

The "restroom provision" in Prop 1 was taken out of it months ago. But that's the part that religious zealots clung to and talked up. And judging by the posts here and the voting it worked exceptionally well. It's all anyone can bring up when talking about it and it wasn't even in the proposition.

Its all about money now and in order to keep all the money they've gotten everyone to agree that college sports programs, and even more so NCAA as a body, is a separate private set of entities than the schools they represent.
Reap what you sow. There won't be college football in 25 years.

I bet everything I own, all my future earnings and indentured servitude of myself, my wife and my children that there will be college football in 25 years.

So the premise was that men will undergo a permanent sex change in order to gain entry into women's restrooms?
Posted on 11/5/15 at 5:59 am to Dalosaqy
No. The premise was that a man could go into women's restrooms, locker rooms, etc. simply by identifying a female at that time.
