6:27Now PlayingNFL says a Texas bathroom law is discriminatory and they’ve promised to take action. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, the hosts of The Young Turks, tell you how the governor of Texas responded. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“Greg Abbott, the governor of Texas, has warned the NFL that it is “walking on thin ice” by suggesting the Lone Star State could miss out on hosting another Super Bowl if a controversial bathroom bill targeting transgender people is passed.
The NFL hinted last week that “discriminatory” proposals could affect where football’s biggest game ended up – but that seemed to incense Abbott, who launched a tirade on conservative radio host Glenn Beck’s show about how the NFL should behave.
The 59-year-old Republican, who succeeded Rick Perry two years ago, told Beck that the NFL should “get the heck out of politics” and desist from issuing such threats.
Abbott said: “The NFL needs to concentrate on playing football and get the heck out of politics. For some low-level NFL adviser to come out and say that they are going to micromanage and try to dictate to the state of Texas what types of policies we’re going to pass in our state, that’s unacceptable. We don’t care what the NFL thinks and certainly what their political policies are – because they are not a political arm of the state of Texas or the United States of America.”
