Cuomo order against defunct NC bathroom bill means swim team must stay in another state

By Perry Chiaramonte | Fox News

Student-athletes from a group of colleges in upstate New York may be at a disadvantage at this month’s NCAA Division III Swimming Championship in North Carolina because they'll have to stay in another state, thanks to an executive order by Governor Andrew Cuomo enacted in 2016.

The irony is that the order initially was in response to North Carolina's transgender "bathroom ban," which was repealed in 2017. However, Cuomo's order remains in place and the athletes still have to stay elsewhere

Over a dozen students from across three schools under the State University of New York (SUNY) system qualified for the competition in Greensboro, N.C. But because the current order from Albany, which bans publicly funded travel to the Tar Heel State, is still in effect, the team will have to stay over an hour away from the competition site in neighboring Virginia.

Can they stay if they're planning on an abortion?

After they finish their meet, I’d hold a press conference and let them know the entire team pissed in their pool.

??? The problem is with the New York Governor, Cuomo. Why do you want the swimmers to piss in a pool in North Carolina???

Because that’s the way it was typed and there’s no edit function.

I don’t understand how that would send a message to Cuomo?

If I read it correctly, it is a NY law that is the problem, not anything in NC (least of all, the pool).

The swim meet is in New York State. The students from NC are the ones that are banned from staying in NY.

Why doesn’t Cuomo just revoke his executive order, since the reason for the order no.longer exists????

This makes no sense.

What is the repercussion if the NY Team told Little Andy to stick it and stayed in NC? There are few people in this world I despise more than Little Andy Cuomo.

Well, your idea would be fine if they could get Cuomo to come down to NC and push him in it

A few Division III swimmers being inconvenienced is probably not enough to garner King Cuomo’s attention.
