Was in NC for two trips this year. Hotels are full. I hope they make a wise decision here. I have no issue if they modify the bill, but they should not full capitulate.

Sounds like the NCAA is a prime candidate for prosecution under the RICO statutes.

How is this not blackmail or extortion, perpetrated by an organized criminal enterprise known as the NCAA?

Also, for a bunch of foolish leftists who constantly decry the evils of “collective punishment”, this sounds and smells a lot like “collective punishment” to me.

See what leftists do. They upset traditional norms and when good people simply revert it back, they’re called bigots and want to be in everyone’s personal lives.

When the NCAA works with other sports leagues to end “gender specific” teams I MAY be impressed.

“””Under the law, businesses in North Carolina are free to regulate their intimate facilities however they choose. But HB2 has still drawn the ire of major corporations such as Apple, Facebook and Google who say it goes against their values.”””

Values? VALUES? When a perv goes into a woman’s bathroom —— just because he CAN, where is the value in that?

Let them just agree to head out of doors and find the nearest tree - it’s a gender-free sanctuary!

The NCAA are backing themselves into a huge corner: Very soon, MEN claiming to be women will be invading Womens’ Athletics and the NCAA won’t be able to do a damn thing about it, they will be FORCED to allow them to compete and dominate in Womens’ athletic competitions.
