A controversial Texas bill being proposed by Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick has drawn a response from the NFL.
In January, per Chuck Lindell of the Austin-American Statesman, Patrick and Texas senator Lois Kolkhorst unveiled Senate Bill 6 at the Texas Senate chamber that would overturn local ordinances and prevent transgender people from using the bathroom of the gender which they identify.
As a result of the proposal discriminating against transgender people, NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy issued a brief statement about the situation.
"The NFL embraces inclusiveness," McCarthy said in an email to Ileana Najarro of the Houston Chronicle.
