LAT: NFL warns Texas ‘bathroom bill’ could jeopardize its chances to host future Super Bowls

[dogunwo]

This is already a reality in North Carolina and several events have been removed from the state, like the NBA all star game.

"Alright everyone, crotch checks at the door".

Seriously question. What if you were just a regular ol' guy, but suffered a horrific and catastrophic crocheting accident that left you absent of your bits and pieces. What then?

I think bathrooms would be open game, whichever line is shortest

Now that I think of it, the bathroom issue may not even be relevant for our master crocheter. If you had nothing left after the accident, you'd probably end up with a urostomy. Wouldn't need a bathroom unless you had to go #2.

Ya know, this urostomy aspect seems like it could be problematic. People actively peeing in public next to men, women, and children? How will we ever be safe?

Can you explain why the NFL suddenly thinks it is the judge and jury for every state? It is now acting as the government, overriding every state's sovereignty. That doesn't fly in Texas.

Pretty easy explanation. The NFL is a private organization that can make rules as they see fit.

 

[Sydla]

Gotta love political correctness. His post is strait in line e with rational thinking.

Maybe the mods look at your use of idiot.

So being for the bill is rational but against it is not rational?

 

[Sydla]

Why don't they just make an Other bathroom? Problem solved.

Cost most likely.

 

[Sydla]

Can a civilized nation exercise the right to place the safety of 150+ million women and girls above the demands of less than 1% of the citizens that jeopardize the 150+ million? Certainly.

Don't mess with Texas, NFL. You'll lose.

How will the NFL lose? They'll just not host SBs in Texas. I am sure they will find a lot of other places to host a SB.

Don't California my Texas.
If the NFL wants to dictate decisions based on states rights I could care less if Texas ever gets another Super Bowl again.
If you have a ***** you use the little boys room.
If you have a ****** use the little girls room.
If you cannot tell the difference you shouldn't be out in public anyway.

Wow.
blocking proper terms for male and female reproductive parts .

 

[DFWJC]

yeah it's annoying how backwards Texas seems to remain on social issues like these.

 

[DFWJC]

It is an awkward topic.
Who deserves fair rights more; my young daughter entering a bathroom by herself, or grown man (called Fred last week) who now says he identifies as a women (so Frederica this week) going in there at the same time?

Just asking.

Sucks but good stance by the NFL

Never happens. No data supports this being an either/or choice.

So you're fine with pre-op transgendered folks using the men's bathroom and post-op using the women's? How is that a principled position?

Anyone? Data? Anyone? Buehler? Buehler?

I've got a wife and three daughters. Anyone who poses as a woman to get into the girls bathroom and harm them will pay the price.

what about women who dress up like women who harm them?

i have been told to never use never. it makes it sound like you are just trying to strengthen your opinion.
though rare it is absolutely possible for someone to pretend in order to infringe.
the squeaky wheel is welding much power right now. the NFL doesnt want to risk boycotts, marches, etc.
it isnt about beliefs, its about money
