Arizona was all set to be the setting for Super Bowl 49 next February. Then, the state legislature passed a bill allowing business owners with strongly held religious beliefs to refuse service to gays. Critics call it license to discriminate.

And while the bill is not yet law, and Gov. Jan Brewer is on the hot seat over whether she will sign it, already there is economic fallout across Arizona.

A bevy of business groups, led by the Arizona Chamber of Commerce and Industry, have warned that the bill would be toxic for tourism and bad for business. They are calling on Brewer to veto the bill.

At least three state senators who voted for the bill now say doing so was a mistake. A storm of protests, led by Arizona’s gay and lesbian community, have ensued. Their battle cry: "Veto Hate."

But most ominous of all is what the all-powerful NFL could do. Namely, move the Super Bowl that was slated for Arizona early next year.

Already, the league has issued a cryptic statement that is was closely watching debate over the bill both in and outside of Arizona and would react accordingly.

In other words, if the bill should become law, moving the big game could be a distinct possibility.

So should it be on the table?

Should the Super Bowl be a pawn in the debate over gay rights vs. religious rights in Arizona?

Or should the NFL stay out of a matter of states' rights?

Tell us in the comments.

Background: Inspired by the case of a New Mexico wedding photographer who was taken to court after refusing to shoot a gay commitment ceremony, the bill seeks to shield businesses from being forced to serve members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community if doing so would run counter to their religious beliefs.
