[NCAA] Board of Governors approves anti-discrimination process for championships bids [ed]
NCAA ^ | April 27, 2016 | Brian Hendrickson

The NCAA Board of Governors on Wednesday took steps to protect participants and spectators from discrimination at NCAA events.

At its quarterly meeting in Indianapolis, the board adopted a new requirement for sites hosting or bidding on NCAA events in all divisions — from the Men’s and Women’s Final Fours to educational events such as leadership development conferences — to demonstrate how they will provide an environment that is safe, healthy, and free of discrimination, plus safeguards the dignity of everyone involved in the event.

LGBT Uber Alles. What is exactly meant by "to demonstrate how they will provide an environment that is safe, healthy, and free of discrimination, plus safeguards the dignity of everyone involved in the event". Obviously this rule is aimed at places like NC. But what happens if a locality or state does not explicitly state LGBTs are a protected class?

The NCAA is headquartered in Indianapolis, INDIANA.
INDIANA (my current home), the state that passed the first “religious freedom” law. And they’re still here.

Indiana is a great State. The NCAA may have its headquarters there, but the pandering dysrons on the Board of Governors will not unilaterally be able to change that.

But if you live in Indiana, I hope that you will vote for Donald Trump next Tuesday--and, of course, take a friend with you to the polls. There is no better way to rebuke politically correct silliness than that.

If more and more places told them to stuff their rules, we don’t need your money, don’t come here, they would have trouble finding locations to host their event(s) it would go a long way to getting them to shut up.

As long as there is someone willing to lick their arses then they will continue to place demands like this.

These liberals call everyone a bigot and hater if a man pretending to be a woman isn’t allowed to take a leak in the womens restroom.

What if one of these crossdressers wanted to play on the girls team? It should be allowed, right? Afterall, if the crossdresser really feels like a woman then he/ she must certainly be welcome on the girls team.

Great. That rules out North Carolina. Who wants a bunch of thugs and their fans in their state anyway. Let the perverts go to states where they can take showers with and photograph minors.

Maybe Target can sponsor some NCAA perv-fests.

Having been at 23 NCAA championships, I can tell you that they will never find a site free of kids yelling and screaming stupid things.

The NCAA is the worst organization in the world for the students. They are “concerned” about the kids not being taken advantage of...but if you are a vendor they expect 50% of your profit. So, as a vendor, you have to double your prices on items that you sell to the students and their parents.

They are worse than the mafia. At least the mafia doesn’t care where you go to the bathroom.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of people without brains.

liberal brains should be dissected for science.

but if you leave out the ones whose parent were libs, i wonder how many there would be.

Letting men into the women’s lavatory is not safeguarding MY dignity. But I am a white conservative heterosexual woman, so I don’t matter.
