Corporate bullies are American companies that apply pressure to state governments if they dare cross the treasured beliefs of liberalism and gay rights. Corporate bullies make it known publicly that religious freedom laws that protect Christians are not in the financial interests of state governments. Threats and boycotts while smearing leaders that support such measures. The people elected state governments but their voice and their concerns take a back seat to Corporate bully demands.

The NFL is notorious for attacking protections for Christians and for the rule of law. They have threatened the state of Arizona and now Georgia by blocking Super Bowls if legislation passes that they don't like.[1][2]
