Congress scores another one for religious (tv-watching) freedom. Sen. Hatch gets the NFL to let churches show the Super Bowl.
The commissioner sent Hatch a response on Tuesday that said the league would have no problem with “live showings - regardless of screen size - of the Super Bowl” so long as the event was free and held in a building normally used by the religious organization.
“I am grateful that this accommodation was made to allow the NFL to protect its copyrighted material, while respecting the interests of churches,” Hatch said in a statement. “Although the practice is uncommon in Utah, Super Bowl parties can be very beneficial for all involved.”
