Georgia’s decision to veto the controversial “religious liberty” bill isn’t just a sign of inclusion for gays, but also one of inclusion in Atlanta’s scramble to land one of the next three available Super Bowls.
What that means for South Florida: a stiff competitor in the lucrative Super Bowl chase didn’t knock itself out of the picture.
Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal said he’ll veto the bill on the grounds it doesn’t reflect “the character of our state of the character of our people.”
Only last week in Boca Raton, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, who has a brother who is gay, was asked about the bill, which gay-rights activists have labeled discriminatory.
