As Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal weighs whether or not to sign into law a bill protecting state business owners’ “religious liberty” — thereby barring the state from taking action against “a sincerely held religious belief regarding lawful marriage between … a man and a woman” — the NFL has made its stance on the issue known.

If Gov. Deal signs the bill into law, Atlanta and its brand-new Mercedes-Benz Stadium can kiss any hope of hosting future Super Bowls goodbye.

“NFL policies emphasize tolerance and inclusiveness, and prohibit discrimination based on age, gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, or any other improper standard,” NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said in a statement to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “Whether the laws and regulations of a state and local community are consistent with these policies would be one of many factors NFL owners may use to evaluate potential Super Bowl host sites.”

But there is a more pressing issue at hand: Atlanta is set to host the College Football Playoff Championship two seasons from now. In November the College Football Playoff announced Mercedes-Benz Stadium as the host site for its Jan. 8, 2018 title game, crowning the champion of the 2017 season.

The NCAA has been clear in its stance against “religious liberty” laws — urging lawmakers to defeat a same-sex marriage ban in 2014 (which was later defeated) and threatening to remove Indianapolis from the rotation of Final Four sites if its own “religious liberty” law was signed. Indiana Gov. Mike Pence signed the bill into law on March 26, 2015.

“The NCAA national office and our members are deeply committed to providing an inclusive environment for all our events,” NCAA president Mark Emmert said at the time. “We are especially concerned about how this legislation could affect our student-athletes and employees. We will work diligently to assure student-athletes competing in, and visitors attending, next week’s Men’s Final Four in Indianapolis are not impacted negatively by this bill. Moving forward, we intend to closely examine the implications of this bill and how it might affect future events as well as our workforce.”

The NCAA for years banned South Carolina from hosting official events due to the state’s insistence on flying a Confederate flag above its statehouse. The Palmetto State’s ban ended when the flag came down last summer. “The NCAA strongly supports today’s removal of the Confederate flag from the South Carolina State House grounds,” Emmert said. “This step sends an important message of respect for and dignity of every person. As a national association, the NCAA opposes this symbol of racism, and since 2001 we have demonstrated our opposition by not playing pre-selected championships in states where the flag was flown prominently. The removal of the Confederate flag now means that South Carolina can bid to host future NCAA championships.”

The College Football Playoff is not an NCAA event, however. The CFP is an autonomous organization run by the commissioners of the ten FBS conferences.

Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby has gone on record against “religious liberty” laws as Missouri, the site of the Big 12 basketball tournament through 2020, considers its own version.

“The Big 12 Conference and its member institutions support the rights of all individuals regardless of race, religion or sexual orientation,” Bowlsby told the Kansas City Star this week. “It is acknowledged that elected officials enact laws they believe reflect the desires of their constituents, however, as a Conference we will consider the impact of the Missouri Legislature’s action on current and future Big 12 events within the state.”

MAC commissioner Jon Steinbrecher announced a ban on official events in Indiana last year (its football title game is held in Detroit and men’s basketball tournament in Cleveland). The Big Ten, however, announced last year it will “further review” the situation at its next executive meetings. Indianapolis is the permanent host of the Big Ten football championship and women’s basketball tournament, and a regular host of its men’s basketball tournament.

But where does the CFP itself stand? We don’t know. A CFP spokesperson did not immediately return a message from CollegeFootballTalk seeking comment.

It’s possible the entire issue could become a moot point.

Gov. Deal said earlier this month he would reject any measure that “allows discrimination in our state in order to protect people of faith,” and urged Georgia conservatives to “recognize that the world is changing around us.”

Gov. Deal has until May 3 to approve or veto the legislation.
