AUSTIN, Texas (AP) – The NFL is expressing sharper warnings about a Texas “bathroom bill” targeting transgender persons than statements prior to the Super Bowl in Houston.
NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy on Friday raised the prospect of Texas being passed over for future Super Bowls if state lawmakers were to an enact laws that are “discriminatory or inconsistent with our values.”
That’s more forceful than an NFL statement earlier this month that more generally endorsed inclusiveness.
