One North Carolina congressman has some words for the National Basketball Association.

Rep. Robert Pittenger wrote NBA commissioner Adam Silver a letter regarding the NBA’s decision to move the 2017 All-Star basketball game from Charlotte. The relocation was attributed to North Carolina’s House Bill 2, widely known as the bathroom law...

A gross lack of judgement and moral clarity is the campaign theme of Democrats.

How can the NBA justify moving one game from Charlotte when they allow 40 games there during the regular season? They need to relocate the franchise, otherwise, they are hypocrites.

[RebelTXRose]

WOW - would LOVE to see the response to THAT!

[Timpanagos1]

The NBA does not own the Hornets, but do own the NBA All Star Game.

[Ramcat]

Adam Silver freaks me out.

bttt

[reaganaut]

How many Trannies attend NBA games???

[RegulatorCountry]

Turning the NBA into just another televised PC drone-fest will do wonders for their ratings and ad revenue, I’m sure.

[ro_dreaming]

It’s a resume enhancer!

[Gay State Conservative]

Go after the NBA on anti-trust grounds.and boycott them as well,of course.

[PGR88]

Just tell the NBA - you want to be involved in divisive, sexual-based politics?

There is no end to this hole you’ve jumped in - be ready.

[T-Bird45]

Nailed Adam Silver to the wall in just 3 paragraphs. Now that’s some moral clarity for you.

I'm sure the Blacks of North Carolina are absolutely incensed that their pervert brethren are being discriminated against.

Seriously, considering their imperishable commitment to the Left no matter what, I'm really sure they are.

[Enten]

Adam Silver, guilty of moral preening.

This will be the NBA response: “crickets”

This will be the NBA response: “crickets”

I saw this coming in the early 80s.

No thugball of any kind for me since then.

I will confess I didn't see the pervert element looming into the future; That just provides a measure of satisfaction for my good social judgment about the future... 34 years ago, more or less...

What’s an NBA? Don’t watch it, not going to.

[fso301]

Let’s face it. The NBA doesn’t want anti-trust action taken against it and the owners don’t want the IRS conducting rectal audits of them their families and friends.
