CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has joined the city of Charlotte in its fight against the controversial House Bill 2 that limits the legal protection of the LGBT community.
Goodell said Tuesday at the conclusion of the league's spring meetings in Charlotte that he and Mayor Jennifer Roberts discussed the bill on Monday.
"We have been very open and honest and direct about this,'' Goodell said. "We have our policies that do not support in any way discrimination. It's very important for us to have diversity. We've made that clear publicly. We've made that clear in other situations.
