NFL: We Are Watching Arizona

"Our policies emphasize tolerance and inclusiveness, and prohibit discrimination based on age, gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, or any other improper standard. We are following the issue in Arizona and will continue to do so should the bill be signed into law, but will decline further comment at this time." - NFL spokesman Greg Aiello, stopping short of calling for a veto of the bill that would legalize anti-gay discrimination. The 2015 Super Bowl will be held in Glendale, Arizona.

NFL franchise the Arizona Cardinals were more direct: "What so many love about football is its ability to bring people together. We do not support anything that has the potential to divide, exclude and discriminate. As a prominent and highly-visible member of this community, we strive to bring positive attention to the state. We are concerned with anything that creates a negative perception of Arizona and those of us who are fortunate to call it home."
