NFL warns Texas that its proposed ‘bathroom bill’ could jeopardize its chances to host future Super Bowls
he NFL, which just held the Super Bowl in Texas, is warning that a “bathroom bill” targeting transgender persons could jeopardize future major events in that state. League spokesman Brian McCarthy said Friday that “discriminatory” legislation would “certainly be a factor” in awarding Super Bowls.

The Texas proposal would require individuals to use bathrooms that correspond to the sex on their birth certificate. A similar law in North Carolina led the NCAA to pull college championship events from that state.


“The NFL embraces inclusiveness,” McCarthy said. “We want all fans to feel welcomed at our events, and NFL policies prohibit discrimination based on age, gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, or any other improper standard.

“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.”

I thought white privilege was a myth?



Before the 59th annual Grammy Awards on Sunday, the music industry murmured about what it might mean for Adele to once again sweep the top awards, leaving Beyoncé snubbed in the major categories and with her third loss for album of the year. Having long faced accusations that the Grammys overlook young, progressive black artists — the last black woman to win album of the year was Lauryn Hill in 1999 — the Recording Academy faced a potential backlash for going all-in on a white, traditionalist choice like Adele.

Indeed, it happened again.
 
So what do you suppose Jason Chaffetz and the House Oversight & Government Reform Committee will be investigating next? Benghazi? Flynn's treason? Busloads of protesters paid to disrupt his town hall meeting?

Chaffetz and his committee are not accepting emails right now.

Really?
What treasonable offense would that be?

Obstructing an investigation into the possible committing of treason, would be my guess, but I'm not an attorney. If Benghazi was worthy of several investigations, surely with this new information about Flynn, this Russian influence topic is worthy of at least one good investigation.

Speaking to foreign leaders of government is a crime? Let us know when you find documented disclosures of Secret or Top Secret information

That's what I thought. By your own admission you're "not an attorney" and therefore can't tell us if it's against the law to speak to foreign leaders. You can ignore the precedence for doing so all you like.
