The ACC has decided to move all of its neutral site championships from the state of North Carolina, the conference announced in a statement Wednesday.
“The ACC Council of Presidents made it clear that the core values of this league are of the utmost importance, and the opposition to any form of discrimination is paramount,” commissioner John Swofford said. “Today’s decision is one of principle, and while this decision is the right one, we recognize there will be individuals and communities that are supportive of our values as well as our championship sites that will be negatively affected. Hopefully, there will be opportunities beyond 2016-17 for North Carolina neutral sites to be awarded championships.”

They can all go to hell.
FU ACC
Is this a joke? Time for UNC and NC State to come on over to the SEC. Cut the balls right off the ACC.
It’s good to know that their “core values” are free-for-all restrooms. How very core.
BYE BYE!!!
BTW, do you know what the initials F.O. mean?
Couldn’t care less about the ACC personally. If the SEC pulled this crap I would be looking for a new team.
Thought police in action.
The lack of backbone in leadership in the world of professional and now collegiate sports is breathtaking. Political Correctness cancer has metastasized throughout our culture and we are now terminal. I’m past being angry. I’m now just sad. Very sad indeed.
Odd that all of these organizations are quick to rail against stuff like this bill but have no problem with idiots disrespecting our national anthem.
As many have stated here...the politics that are getting involved in sports are really turning people off.
Sports are supposed to be a distraction...and they are getting more and more political every day. I think we can thank the Obama administration for that as well.
Hang tough NC!
So giving in to those who are severally mentally disturbed is a core value. Maybe they should set up a hostage negotiation team. I understand such incidents usually also involve those who are severally mentally disturbed.
We don’t want males to go into women’s rest rooms and locker rooms and we will not allow it!! Take your Satanism and go to HELL!! ASAP.
How about “discrimination” against Christians and other people of faith, Swofford?
Read The Constitution sometime, First Amendment, if you’re too lazy to read the whole thing
Dumbazz
ACC headquarters are in Greensboro. Will they be moving this as well?
who the f cares?
What is the ACC?
Teh North Carolina legislature should cut funding for the NC conference members as long as they remain in the ACC.
Make no mistake, this is a coordinated effort by the Obama regime.
The Obama homosexual troglodytes are using the power of the federal government to pressure independent organizations.
The trogs responsible for this need to be rooted out and punished.
