Move the Big Ten Football Championship Game from Indiana


Move the Big Ten Football Championship Game from Indiana
The Issue
Governor Mike Pence of Indiana just signed SB101 into law, a "religious freedom" bill that would allow business owners to deny service to gay and lesbian people. This could result in LGBT fans, athletes, officials and their families being denied service in restaurants or turned out of their hotel rooms. Seeing as how the Big Ten purports to support gay and lesbian student athletes, it is time to move the Big Ten Football Championship and other events from Indiana to a location where gay and lesbian student-athletes can compete without fear of prejudice and gay and lesbian fans can book hotel rooms without fear of being kicked into the streets.
