Good idea!

[yuleeyahoo]

So when are they going to allow males to compete on the female sports teams?

[VanDeKoik]

If people on the right stop supporting sporting leagues, including their tax breaks, then they will collapse.

What needs to be done is for the actually- guilty individual(s) inside the ACC to be Outted publicly — they shouldn’t be allowed to hide behind the corporate name or press releases or spokes- people.

There is quite a bit of info in the new leaks about NC being used as a laboratory of sorts for election rigging. From gerrymandering, lawsuits, collusion with PACs. I’m sure this probably is an extension of that. That said, I honestly wouldn’t have issue with music groups, sporting events, concerts not patronizing states they disagree with, when individuals are given back their rights to choose to not provide services for things that go against their values.

The idea of moving sporting events, which would showcase champion athletes, out of a sovereign American State, because they do not want people, who are sexually confused, going into the bathrooms of the opposite sex, show a contemporary American Academia on the same intellectual level as the Academy Swift's Gulliver discovered on the island of Laputa. Antics of this sort reduce perceptions of that contemporary Academia to the image of an historic joke.

These people are not worth getting upset over. They are a joke, a very poor joke, but a joke. And that well deserved status will not be lost merely because they are too stupid to even understand their own achievement.

Apparently, the ‘values’ of the NCAA and ACC promote economic extortion as well as not really giving a damn about the privacy and safety of women and minors.

“Time for UNC and NC State to come on over to the SEC.”

From reading the actual ACC statement, it seems that UNC and NC State are on board with the decision.

Our abnormally tall people can cram a little ball through a hoop better than your abnormally tall people so we should be able to tell you mentally ill perverts can pee with your wives and daughters.I am so glad that I have ZERO interest in professional sports in any way..

[Tax-chick]

Good. Take your sportsball and your gheys and transformers and screw up someone else’s state.

If this keeps up, we’ll be able to drive around here again.

[Buckeye McFrog]

What they’re really trying to do is to deter other states from passing such laws.

If they want REAL economic impact, let Apple announce they are shutting that gigantic computers server farm northwest of Charlotte, NC. That would make a statement, but Apple can't afford to do it because it would cost the company a gigantic fortune and where are they going to get the server capacity to replace the server capacity at that huge server farm?

[Buckeye McFrog]

And if the City of Charlotte does not sue for breach of contract over the football championship, it’s clear they are in on it too.

So, what has been the case for centuries is now somehow suddenly unacceptable, as if their demands have always been the case.

Carolina should respond by making all the Carolina Schools (The REAL ACC) withdraw from the ACC. It hasn't really been the ACC anyway since it started taking in Big East schools.

[onedoug]

And NC should give a damn because?....

So the first week of the NFL, attendance and viewership is down. People are angry at handling the protest. In two weeks there will be the debates. With Hillary taking too many head shots, concussions, everyone will tune in to she her pass out against Trump.
Target was $83 in April then opened girl's bathroom to any old deviate who wanted to use them. Stock is $68 today and sales are off over 2% in that same time.

People know what to do, stop the money flow.

[Kozy]

Think SEC and ACC plus selective schools like Miami, USF, UCF, Texas, OK, TCU, Houston, Texas A & M, pull out of NCAA and form 2 16 team leagues, East/West set up own contracts and forget deviate bathroom policies.

[faithhopecharity]

We are not patronizing target - nor nfl.

Pat McCrory is standing his ground on HB2 and I am very proud of him. FO ACC. I will not be watching anymore ACC events any longer. I used to love the ACC BBall Tournament. NO MAS.I will be writing a letter to Mr. Swofford.

That being said the only people making a big deal about this are "entertainers". NC beaches were full with out of town vacationers this year. Busiest I have seen it in a long time.
