AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -- 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.

Following the NFL statement, Patrick's office signaled it was remaining firm and was committed to "making sure that every Texas is welcomed" at sporting events.

Yea, as powerful as HOF Jerry Jones is, this ain't happening. Talk about opening a can of worms by getting into politics.

frick the NFL. If they can do without the huge market that Texas is,more power to them

I think the bathroom bills are dumb but this corporate shakedown by the NFL no less is even worse. Talk about not knowing your demographic. How many transgendered people have watched a game outside the lady Gaga halftime show

What happens when the Super bowl can only be played in New York and California?

By "targeting transgender people" do they mean using common sense?

Didn't watch a game all year and did not watch super bowl. If they continue financing legal suits for such reasons, I am finished with them for good

What an incredibly stupid battle to pick. Who wants politics with their football?
edit: And stupid, unnecessary bathroom politics at that.

Football should be an enjoyable retreat from work or politics. Very foolish move on their part.

What would the NFL do if half of the states that have team passed a bill?

Go ahead and push this, but inserting more petty politics into the brand will turn a lot of people off.
