This. The bill is actually only two pages long.
It's a freedom bill protecting property rights. It's sad people disagree with protecting your freedom to do whatever you want with your property.

NFL doesn't care about the bill or the underlying politics... what they care about is not having a superbowl where all anyone is talking about is the "anti-gay law" that Arizona passed and how playing the Superbowl there represents tacit approval of that law (whether that's true or not) by the NFL and "hey NFL, why do you hate gay people!?!?!?."
Businesses, especially massive highly successful ones like the NFL, hate controversy more than anything.

So you're ok with the NFL refusing to do business with the state of Arizona because of a conflict of beliefs but you don't agree with the people of Arizona passing a law to that affect?
Interesting.

Major League Baseball also extorted the state.
Sickening.

Any state that is threatened like this by the NFL should stop funding their free venues for just the NFL activities. Shut off the lights, furlough stadium staff for the events, and stop giving any incentives to keep the team in that state. Let the NFL/the teams front the cash for the logistics and let them leave.
The NFL would have no problem moving. Have fun finding a use for that stadium though.

They introduced and passed a bill (which was later vetoed) stating that businesses can refuse to allow gay ppl to enter their establishments.
I hate to let people know, but you can do this in LA, and EVERY other state. It was a stupid, pointless law, but it is already legal.
I am for gay rights/marriage, but a private business should absolutely have the right to refuse service to anyone.

A climate controlled dome in the middle of the desert? No use at all...
And is it an outlandish concept that if you burn enough bridges you have nowhere to go? You can only have so many teams in large market areas before they start draining each others' coffers. My point is the NFL needs to stay out of politics, it only alienates them from its viewers ideologically.

Been the argument for almost a hundred years with segregation and Jim Crow laws; and in a perfect world, where companies do the right thing, that works. I don't personally agree with the law either, but I do believe businesses should reserve the right to remove patrons if they are doing something they deem inappropriate.

Yea, and if the business owner/employee does discriminate, it's within the rights of the customer to go on social media/youtube/ etc... and hurt the bottom line of that business. It'll work itself out.
