Social conservative Linda Harvey is
calling on sports fans to boycott the NFL and NBA over their
opposition to anti-LGBT bills passed in Georgia and North Carolina.
In a WND.com column titled Will GOP
Run or Stand Against Pink Goliath?, Harvey, the founder of the
Columbus, Ohio-based Mission America, says it's “time for some
boycotts, sports fans.”
“What happened to real men in pro
sports?” Harvey rhetorically asked. “Or are their spiteful
lesbian lawyers calling the shots? Time for some boycotts, sports
fans.”
“[W]ay too many RINO Republicans
yield to 'sextremists' under growing pressure from business,
Hollywood and professional sports.”
Harvey repeated the false claim that
allowing transgender people to use the bathroom that they identify
with harms children.
“Gender confusion is not everyone
else's problem. It's your problem. It is not the responsibility of
the world to rearrange itself to hide mental illness. And while we
should extend compassion to such confused people, our tolerance ends
at the normalization of instability and perversion, and risk to
children,” she
wrote.
“Disney, Marvel and Viacom said they
wouldn’t make films in Georgia if the bill became law. The NFL was
hinting that Atlanta wouldn’t be considered to host a future Super
Bowl if the bill became law. Where are the real men? Come on,
players; you don’t all agree with this position by the league!
Someone speak out and say so,” she added.
