Add Keith Olbermann to the now trending #BoycottIndiana mob looking to punish the state over its new religious freedom law — a law that closely mirrors the 1993 Chuck Schumer sponsored, Bill Clinton signed Religious Freedom Restoration Act:
Simple fact: after Indiana enacts a law permitting prejudice against some of its customers, NCAA should pull Final 4 out of Indy. Right now

I don't care if Final 4 winds up being played in a parking lot in Tulsa, NCAA has no right to support legally codified hatred and stupidity

If a state wants to pretend this is 1955 and not 2015, dandy. You want to make some customers "illegal"? Prepare to be left behind.

And for that matter the NFL should play no games in Indiana until and unless this hateful, medieval measure is repealed.

And if you fall back on the discredited "orientation is a choice," ask yourself: what is religion if not a choice? Or passing hate laws?

Or, Keith … put your money where your mouth is. Why not boycott all Indiana sports in your show and see what happens? There’s nothing that says you have to cover the NCAA tourney, right? And why not call for a boycott of the 18 other states that have laws similar to the one just signed into law in Indiana?
The boycott possibilities are endless!
