Without any movement by state legislators in North Carolina to change newly enacted laws targeted at the LGBT community, the NBA is pulling the 2017 All-Star Game out of Charlotte, league sources told The Vertical

I’ll remember not to watch it.
Wherever they go, boycott them.
Why don’t the LGBT players just boycott the event?
Glad to see that wholesome North Carolina won’t be sullied by all the NBA trash. Why has EVERYTHING become political??? Oh yeah, the Left has to do that to eke out enough votes to cheat themselves into a win.
This action from an Association that actively markets its product in communist China.
Couldn’t care less. Stopped watching the NBA decades ago.
Why don’t they revoke the Charlotte franchise?
I’m serious. If they are saying that NC is unfit for an NBA all star game then it is also unfit for a regular season game. Right?? So if they were intellectually honest they would pull out of the state entirely.
I’m surprised that Oakland’s Oracle Arena isn’t in the running as a replacement site, given that there are plentiful hotel rooms across the Bay in San Francisco to accommodate the game.
The National Bowling Association can take its games to any lanes they wish. I won’t be watching them anyway.
When will the NBA enact racial quotas so that teams reflect the ethnic makeup of the nation?
It is exciting when 5'8" guys do it in high school. Maybe even when 6'2" guys do it in college. No way when 7'6" guys do it in the NBA.
Today’s NBA sucks anyway. No comparison with talent and toughness from years ago.
YAWN...
I think there’s a word for businesses adhering to and enforcing an ideology.
Fasc-something or other...
I quit caring in the mid-80s and I didn’t care much even then.

huh? Another case of liberal, selective moral outrage from the NBA
Billthedrill,
I agree 100% with your common sense non-violent response to a hateful action.

Time to vacay in NCa
Defiantly a gain for NC.
