Petition to Move the Super Bowl out of Arizona

Petition by Adam Brabant

To be delivered to Rodger Goodell, Commissioner of the National Football League

In light of Arizona's recent stance on legal discrimination against the LGBTQ Community, the NFL should take a stand and move the 2015 Super Bowl out of the State. As a non-profit for "working in the public good" the National Football League has a duty to stand up for all citizens of these United States of America and should send a clear message to Arizona that discrimination is not OK by moving the 2015 Super Bowl.

goodell is a paid whore (redskins issue) for nfl. (No offense to sex workers!) You will have to do a lot more then a petition to get these racist old white men to do "the right thing!" As malcom X said "By any means necessary!" I favor a blockade of arizona's borders joining the immigrant community who are already battling racist arizona's republican fascist police state. The democrats in arizona are united against this but we are limited in what we can do. I think arizona dems are to timid but the republicans here are willing to shoot so we must find the courage to face their fire power.

turn Arizona blue.

It will certainly turn Arizona blue if the Cardinals make it to the Super Bowl, but the NFL felt compelled to move it.
