The 2017 NBA All-Star Game is slated to take place in Charlotte, N.C., but commissioner Adam Silver said that will change if the state's new anti-LGBT laws are not altered.
In recent weeks, Silver had been rather vague in addressing the controversy, but on Thursday he indicated that the league is taking a firm stance on the matter during an interview with ESPN's "Mike & Mike".

I’d tell them to take a hike and have a family and faith rally instead.
So what...
A real evil sickness is invading America.
Even then, I guarantee you they're bluffing.
Who cares, the NBA died when Bird and Magic retired. Nobody plays defense during the All-Star game anyway. The NBA is just pandering to their celebrity base.
North Carolina has the chance to set an example for the rest of the nation, if it chooses principal over money.
Will they take the bribe, or stand for something?
If the latter, this could be the start of a movement.
This is getting ridiculous. Politically correct blackmail.

The NBA prefers the anti normal women and children laws.
Addition by subtraction.
Waaaaaaaaa. If you don’t let perverts in the ladies room, we will not play with you.
NC should sue the NBA for trying to blackmail them.

Well, if they listen to Trump, they will take the bribe and cave. As Trump said, “they should have left it alone”. After all, their law is “costing them”, as Trump says. Yeah, yeah, I know he now says it’s a state issue, but his initial responses to such controversies are instructive.
Charlotte started this mess. It just sucks to be them.
Extortion needs to be confronted. There needs to be a war over this.
Nice thing about Missouri if we pass are law, the NFL already F***** us with the RAMS, so were OK.
So North Carolina.. Tell the NBA to get lost. Nothing but a bunch of tattooed thugs.
File criminal charges. This effort to extort sounds like a RICO violation or something.
Show these bastards that we will not play games with them. If they want to F*** with us, we will try to put them in jail.
No - it’s yet another concrete example of the collective power of the Deviant Lobby. It’s a war and we’re losing.
Mr. Silver is just another thought control commissar, if it is so evil, should they not make the Charlotte team move to a more enlightened location.
