Pledge Not to Bring the Superbowl to States with Laws Allowing Discrimination
You have the power to send a very strong message by stating you will not bring the Superbowl to a place where businesses are allowed to discriminate based on race, gender, sexual orientation, or religion.
Why is this important?
The Superbowl brings millions of dollars into the economy of the state where it is played. Fans who are traveling to be a part of the Superbowl deserve to know they will be safe from discrimination from local businesses. Many of the sponsors who spend a great deal of money to advertise during the Superbowl to fans watching at home are companies who have anti-discrimination policies in the workplace. Some of these companies also actively promote equality.
NFL Football is one of the things that brings Americans of all races, genders, sexual orientations, and religions together. It makes sense for the NFL to stand for inclusiveness and against discrimination of any kind.
