NBA commissioner Adam Silver hinted Thursday that the league will move its 2017 All-Star Game out of Charlotte if North Carolina does not change a recent anti-transgender law.

Not a big surprise.

Unfortunately, if I had to bet, I would bet that politicians in North Carolina give in before the NBA gives in.

It is NOT anti-gender.
It is PRO Gender.
The dumbasses on the left who don’t mind if everyone gets flashed by weeny waggers who go “oops” while standing in front of your little girl in a dress don’t give a crap.

Humans are born either male or female and should potty accordingly.

Failure to formally accommodate the mentally confused is NOT “anti” anything.

Here’s the deal Mr Silver: you run your league full of athletes whose openly stated goal is to avoid as much of college as they can, and the people of sovereign NC will get on with having their duly elected legislature codify the will of the people.

The last thing NC or any other state needs is a sports league commissioner ‘working behind the scenes to get the law changed.’

If NC declared that NBA baskets were worth five points you would object and/or overrule. The situation here is reversed which means your authority is nil.

I think they should take “gender” out of it completely. I don’t care if you identify as a can of WD-40, if you are a can of WD-40 with a penis you use the “penis” room, and if not you use the “no penis” room. I can’t wait to see the new signs on the doors.

What I can’t understand is the “blitzkreig” saturation bombing for things like this — letting grown men into the girls’ room used to result in jail time -— and widespread public disapproval for the “ dirty old man” who did it. Indeed, just “taking a peek” into the girls’ dressing room used to always get schoolboys the paddle Women used to be respected. WTH is going on nowadays that so much of society wants to treat women worse than farm animals?

May 13, 1775 - The Colonial Minutemen who confronted British troops at Lexington and Concord agreed to stand-down today after the NBA threatened to move their All-Star Game out of Boston if the insurrection against the Crown were not brought to a halt.

Mmmm, I am divided. I could not care less what the Thug Association does (and haven’t since 1983), but they need to stfu and play ball.

The left acts conservatives talk. Today many conservatives wonder why the left controls academia, business, religion, politics, media and now even whether one works or not and where one goes to the bathroom. They are now floating the idea of jailing climate change deniers.

That's the first bullet point on the job description for Commissioner of any sports league nowadays.

The NBA all-star game is a nothing burger. It’s a pointless weekend that mostly brings in thugs. It looks good on TV because a bunch of celebrities fly in for the game and some parties. When it was hosted in Orlando, I was completely underwhelmed, thinking it would be a big weekend to enjoy.

“I think they should take “gender” out of it completely.”

You are correct. Gender is the totally wrong word here. The word sex is grammatically correct, not gender.

The dumbing down of America continues. It is now enshrined in our laws...

There are so many odd aspects to this. I admit I’m not that crazy about having a homo in a dress come into the men’s room either!

Bingo! When they talk, it's all peace and love, diversity and inclusion. Then they try their best to destroy anybody (or anything, including Christianity) that stands in their way.
