NFL: We Won’t Be Moving The Super Bowl

The NFL was quick today to head off any demands that Super Bowl 2017 be moved from Houston in the wake of yesterday’s victory by anti-gay hate groups.

Their statement: “This will not affect our plans for Super Bowl LI in 2017. We will work closely with the Houston Super Bowl Host Committee to make sure all fans feel welcomed at our events. Our policies emphasize tolerance and inclusiveness, and prohibit discrimination based on age, gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, or any other improper standard.”

Petitions calling for the Super Bowl’s relocation have already appeared at Change.org and on the White House petition site.
