    NFL: Trans Bathroom Bill = No Super Bowls in Texas

    Bathroom bill could keep future Super Bowls from Texas

    A spokesman for the NFL expresses concern about a 'discriminatory' measure becoming law in Texas

    Texas' next trip to the Super Bowl may hit a roadblock in Austin, where conservative lawmakers are pushing a bill to ban transgender people from the public bathrooms they feel most comfortable using.


    "If a proposal that is discriminatory or inconsistent with our values were to become law (in Texas), that would certainly be a factor considered when thinking about awarding future events," NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said in an email response to a Chronicle question about the bill.


    It was the league's first statement on the matter since the legislation was introduced in January.



    "The NFL embraces inclusiveness," McCarthy added. "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."


    Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick favors the proposal, formally the Texas Privacy Act, which would require transgender people to use public bathrooms based on their biological sex and not the gender of their choice. Placing it among his top priorities for passage this session, Patrick has called the measure essential to public safety and declared it one of the "conservative principles" that protect "Texas values."


    'We endorse the idea of voluntarism; self-responsibility: Family, friends, and churches to solve problems, rather than saying that some monolithic government is going to make you take care of yourself and be a better person. It's a preposterous notion: It never worked, it never will. The government can't make you a better person; it can't make you follow good habits.' - Ron Paul 1988

    Would non-transgender people still be able to use the bathroom of their choice?
    It's all about taking action and not being lazy. So you do the work, whether it's fitness or whatever. It's about getting up, motivating yourself and just doing it.

    I sure hope so. I have no problem going in the men's room when there's a long line at the ladies. No one's ever said anything, either. I do give a warning yell before I go in and keep my eyes on the floor and shielded wit my hands. I'm tempted to peek but that would be rude.

    The only time I ever got into bathroom trouble is when I used the handicapped stall in the ladies room a few weeks ago at Alan Jackson.

    Yup! And to add to the stupidity, in my estimation the majority of people really do not feel strongly about it one way or the other. A few fringe elements get their butts in a wad over Little Johnny being allowed to use a girls bathroom at school, the media works everyone into a frenzy, half the people succumb to the pressure of being in Little Johnny's corner so they won't be called a dreaded homophobe, and then others push back the other direction because they're tired of being labeled a hateful monster due to their conservative leanings!

    In truth, were it never made an issue, people would have just continued to shrug and say, "Meh, that's weird" and moved their focus to something else.

    Just so you know, this was Gary Johnson's position during the campaign.
