This is turning back the clock and allowing fucking religious bigotry... I am speechless.. absolutely speechless
http://sports.yahoo.com/news/ncaa-s-resp...33125.html

Short summary
A bill is going to be passed that will allow for hate speech and racism to be protected under religion.
Meaning welcome to the 1950's in the modern age you should be mad Huggy.
There you go rexbeccarox i added the summary.

A glimpse of what you are about to read

Mark Emmert, responded with what most clear-minded people believe: that this law is about the state of Indiana protecting discrimination, effectively allowing businesses to deny service to gays and lesbians based on religious beliefs. As such, Emmert, whose organization is hosting the Final Four next weekend in Indianapolis where the NCAA is also headquartered, went far enough to threaten future events in the state and potentially moving their offices out of downtown Indianapolis.

On the bright side, it's nice to see the NCAA president standing up to this bill.

Nice to see that major sports leagues start to grow a spine when confronted with open bigotry.

The NFL really needs a win on this. They need to pull the combine immediately. They need to make Indianapolis a no go for further Super Bowl host site contention as long as this bill stands. That's a LOT of money off the table for a city with a brand new stadium/sports complex.

I don't know if would change much, but it would also be good to pull all primetime games from Indy as well.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

I didn't see anyone objecting when Homeless nutter made his racist comments, everyone seem cool with it.
You guys tend to hold double standards when it comes to your fellow atheist.

You should be against bigotry in ALL cases.

The biggest pet peeve I have on this board is when members post a link as their OP with no summary of their own. It's against the rules; I even started a thread about it.

I don't understand why this is hard to grasp.

In this case there is a bill going to be passed meaning racism is covered under the banner of religion and protected from being hate speech you dolt.
