Transgender Threat: Texas Governor Blasts NFL for Warning

Houston just finished hosting a hugely-successful Super Bowl, but NFL officials are warning that it could be Texas’s last. League spokesman Brian McCarthy said Friday that the NFL would consider pulling future events out of the Lone Star State if a transgender bathroom bill were to become law.

“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,” said McCarthy.

McCarthy was referencing a bill currently working its way through the Republican-dominated state legislature that would require men and women to use the bathroom facilities that correspond with their birth gender.

In an interview with Glenn Beck on Tuesday, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said the NFL was “walking on thin ice” when it came to telling states what they can and cannot do in the political realm.

“The NFL needs to concentrate on playing football and get the heck out of politics,” Abbott said. “For some low-level NFL adviser to come out and say that they are going to micromanage and try to dictate to the state of Texas what types of policies we’re going to pass in our state, that’s unacceptable.”

Abbott said Americans were getting tired of these corporate entities throwing their weight around in the political arena.

“We don’t care what the NFL thinks and certainly what their political policies are because they are not a political arm of the state of Texas or the United States of America,” he said. “They need to learn their place in the United States, which is to govern football, not politics.”

Unfortunately, everything is getting mixed together, and these corporations inevitably – inevitably – side with the social liberals. North Carolina, of course, took an enormous financial hit last year when their own version of a transgender bathroom bill turned into a national cause. Now these companies – including sports leagues like the NFL, the NBA, and the NCAA – are trying once again to defeat political measures using economic might. That’s not democracy. That’s basically blackmail.

Alas, it is legal. But if these companies start losing fan support for sticking their collective noses into social issues that don’t concern them, they’ll learn to back off or pay the price for their interference.



Few people are concerned about those transgender people who have had surgery to make their bodies reflect their gender dysphoria. What people are concerned about is those people who claim they are the opposite sex but are in the beginning stages of "transitioning" which may include hormone treatment or just the psychiatric examination that goes before any hormone "treatment"

Ah yes. the NFL. A bunch of multi-millionaire spoiled brat crybabies who are mostly so stupid if it weren't for football they'd be on welfare. They think wearing a helmet and carrying a football makes them special, so they don't have to stand for the National Anthem. I wonder if these pricks realize that millions of men and women also wore helmets and carried M-16's instead of a damn football to allow them the right to act like ignorant, butthurt ingrates.
Screw the NFL. Stop watching them and supporting them and see how fast they change their tune.

The NFL should stick to football . . . stay out of politics.

I would go a little further, the governors of the States being threatened should grow a spine and tell the NFL as well as any corporation who joins the threat, that their on-line and Television communication will be stopped in their states. Economic threats work both ways and loss of customers in a State the size of Texas has got to be significant.

It is really a sign of the times, any group with an agenda thinks they can threaten the government and coerce the imposition of their views, whether the populace wants those views or not. Time to take a stand, we are a nation of laws not threats -- hammer the bastards with the full force of any law that can be made to fit.

To see the Trump Voters and Supporters in Texas decide to not watch NFL Football, and stop purchasing all NFL Shirts and Accessories because of the NFL's Playing Politics with Texas Laws...

Yes..the same way Churches should stick to religion and stay out of politics!

In any case, the NFL is an organization whose sole purpose is to extract as much money as possible from your pockets and put it into theirs.
While I laud their support of equality, they will do what is best for the bottom line. If you think a boycott of NFL games will sway their position, then I say go for it! But my guess is there are a lot more men than you think who are unwilling to give up watching NFL football just because of the organization's support of where transgendered folk pee.

Those like you would enjoy anyone who disagrees with you to "get out of politics." Just a reminder - this is the U.S.A and our Constitution dictates that every person has a right to their opinion. I'm sure you would enjoy joining Trump's crowd because you enjoy receiving propaganda (it hurts less than thinking). I am quite disappointed with your racist, biased ilk. Please take the time to read the Constitution. It just might open your eyes as to what America is all about. In addition, a number of corporations are moving their headquarters away from such biased states. The states wil come around when their decision finally hits them in their wallet.
