NBA Will Move All-Star Game If North Carolina Doesn't Change Anti-LGBT Laws

North Carolina is set to host the 2017 NBA All-Star game, but in a meeting with reporters today, commissioner Adam Silver said that the game will have to be moved if recently enacted anti-LGBT laws are not changed.

Silver was much more vague when asked about when specifically such a decision would be made, but this is still as clear a rebuke of the North Carolina laws as we’ve seen from him.

This would be easy to defeat but unfortunately people are addicted to their tv and sports. Boycott watching them but most American’s won’t take the necessary steps to stop it so the leftist agena wins every time.

Pro basketball can disappear and I’d never miss it. Same with pro football.

I think that Adam Silver should move the game out of North Carolina, and continue to move the game out of the USA altogether. Venezuela would be a good place, or Saudi Arabia for his game.

North Carolina will be better for it in the end. States with North Carolina will also be better places. Maybe more and more states will join NC, so we can play a guessing game on where and if the NBA All-Star game will be played. That would be just great!

I’m glad the NBA isnt in Virginia. Maybe some states will throw them out now.

Then all the players will follow the women into the locker room.
