Texas 'bathroom bill' could hurt Dallas' 2018 NFL Draft bid

Philadelphia could be the big winner if a controversial Texas bathroom bill becomes law.

Texas legislators are scheduled to meet in July to discuss their own version of a bathroom bill that would prevent transgender students from using the restroom of the gender they identify with.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is a big advocate of the legislation, and if House Bill 2899 passes, it could have an impact on Dallas’ chances of landing the 2018 NFL Draft, according to Dallas Morning News beat writer David Moore.

Dallas, who has already made its pitch to the league, is considered the front-runner to land the 2018 NFL Draft.
