North Carolina should not forbid women from peeing in the men's room if they want!

The National Basketball Association has, in recent years, been a league that's been ahead of the curve when it comes to responding to discrimination.
When former Clippers owner Donald Sterling was taped uttering racist remarks, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver banned him from the league for life. It was the first of the four major professional sports leagues to have an openly gay player on one of its teams when Jason Collins played for the Brooklyn Nets in 2013. It also became the first league to have a full-time female coach when the San Antonio Spurs named Becky Hammon one of its assistant coaches in 2014.
So, while commendable, it wasn't surprising when the NBA came out with a strong statement Thursday evening in the wake of North Carolina's passing of a discriminatory law against the gay, lesbian and transgender communities, hinting that it could impact whether the league will allow Charlotte to host to the 2017 All-Star Game.

There would only be one right decision for the league to make: take the All-Star Game from Charlotte and hold it somewhere that isn't establishing laws that discriminate against whole portions of the community.

Sadly, professional (and college) sports has become a propaganda tool for the LGBT/diversity/open borders leftist agenda.
So a law that protects religious beliefs is discriminatory against alphabet mental illness people?
Now we see why the sacred cows of Sports are never questioned about their millions. They are in bed with the lowest of the low.
Why isn’t the deal for the Rams to draft Sam into the NFL in exchange for the league’s support for a move to Kalifornia bigger news?
Just follow the money...
Yep, first the schools, then the military, then pro-sports....
Oh...and it is NOT for “discriminating”...
It is for not promoting and endorsing the behavior.
This corporate extorsion is getting ridiculous. They are bullies. And I would love it for a mayor, governor, president to tell them to pound sand.
To hell with religion and human decency, it’s all about “dem buck$!” Let’s let the $ports league$ with their thugs and criminals dictate how we live.
The NBA, NFL etc. are nothing but extortion artists. Build us a new stadium or we will leave. Pass the laws we want or we will leave..
I haven’t watched a game in years nor have I ever spent a dime on their product. SCREWUM!!!!!
I’m most interested in hearing what Michael Jordan has to say. If I were a betting man, he’d say LGBTers buy far fewer Nikes than the average North Carolinian.
Thing is, the kids eat it up.

Hmmm, is that why nba players are predominantly black? They are the best players you say? Well that doesn’t really reflect the “diverse”, you must have one from each race, creed, color meme we have in this country now does it.
It cause the mother ship Disney to lose Stock Value this Year
The kids have had a lifetime of indoctrination. We old folks remember a more dignified time.
Whether the NBA or the NFL - these states and/or cities need to stand up and tell them that unless they divide their teams equally between black, brown, white, and oriental players and coaches, y’all are not welcome to do business in our city/state.
Let them squirm and figure out how to deal with that.
More poopy talk from the Com Post
And then those corporations simply move those jobs.
Already my company is exploring whether or not to move 1100 jobs from Raleigh
Never will happen.
Cities and states prostitute themselves out to NFL/NBA/NHL/MLB owners and build them no cost cathedrals where they get to keep the profits.
You think cities will NOW tell them to pound sand?
And what about women? If we are gonna be fair...
