An Iowa pastor watching with alarm a governor’s veto of a religious liberty bill in Georgia, a veto that came in part because of the National Football League’s thinly veiled threat to remove the state from its list of potential sites to host an upcoming Super Bowl has now fired back with a campaign of his own.
He’s sworn off one of his favorite fall pastimes, watching football on television.
And he’s quietly hoping his NFL boycott carries weight with his congregation and beyond, and perhaps sparks others to do similarly.
“I have begun to throw away my NFL gear already,” said Ray Peters, pastor of Harvest Alliance Church in Minden, in one of several emails, sent after reading WND coverage of the matter.
In another email, he wrote: “It is time for Christians to take a stand where they are and say no to the world where they can. Maybe we can use our time wiser than sitting around for three hours watching men playing a game and making far more money than the president.”

Pastor Ray Peters: Surrender to 'gay' activists
proof society 'unraveling on grand scale.'
His protest comes on the heels of Gov. Nathan Deal’s refusal to sign into law a bill aimed at hampering lawsuits against certain faith-based organizations, like churches, that could be asked to do businesses with those who violate the “sincerely held religious beliefs” of the owners, executives, leaders or manager
The bill was intended to shield Georgia faithfuls from suffering the same sorts of legal challenges that have erupted in recent months around the country pitting homosexual activists against Christian business owners. In 2013, for instance, the New Mexico Supreme Court ruled photographers couldn’t use a religious-freedom argument to refuse to snap pictures at a “gay” wedding, and in 2015, Christian bakers were forced to pay $135,000 in fines for turning down a lesbian couple’s request to make them a cake for their wedding.
The Georgia bill, which passed both sides of the Republican-controlled General Assembly in record time, was criticized by “gay” rights’ groups and some businesses, like Disney, Coca-Cola, Home Depot and Google and by the NFL.
