NCAA president Mark Emmert said his organization will wait to see what the Indiana legislature crafts as a fix to its controversial Religious Freedom Restoration Act before reacting further but added that the controversy already has the NCAA looking more thoughtfully at where it will host championships in the future.

The NCAA does realize that:
1. The NCAA is not a political organization?
2. The Indiana law is modeled after a similar federal law that has been on the books since that Clinton days and was signed by Bill, himself?
3. There are 19 other states with laws that accomplish the same goals as the one currently passed in Indiana. It is just that all of them was passed before the current homosexual revolution?
This is a case of "don't confuse me with the facts."

Emmert is and always has been a pure ass hole. It's a shame to have someone like him in charge of the NCAA. He acts like he is God Almighty. The NCAA is not supposed to be an organization that is actively involved in politics like Emmert is trying to be.

And UCONN wouldn't let Kevin Ollie go to the Final Four because of that law. Yet, Connecticut apparently has a similar law on the books, and it is even more stringent than the Indiana one.

This left wing reaction to this situation just torques my jaws. Why are so many people jumping on this bandwagon, anyway? Maybe I'm just out of touch.

Because they are thinking with emotions and not facts, and the media just keeps stokin' it. This is not a law about discriminating against gays, it is a law to protect people of religion if they have to go to court because of refusing to cater a gay wedding because of their religious beliefs.
