Against States New RFRA Bill
This years Final Four in Indianapolis has become an awkward event for many, because of a recent bill passed in the state of Indiana that many fear can be used to discriminate against the LGBTQ community. Dick Vitale has already backed the idea of moving NCAA events out of the state, and USC athletic director Pat Haden will not attend an upcoming College Football Playoff meeting in the city out of respect for his gay son. UConn has also announced that its coaching staff would not make the trip to the Final Four.
Kentucky superfan Ashley Judd is facing a bit of a conundrum, because of the teams upcoming trip to the Final Four. In order to support her team, but also show her support for the cause, she has proposed that Kentucky fans avoid spending any money while in Indiana.

Dam bullies, they remind me of a bunch of prepubescient boys piling on.
Is she even relevant these days??
Last time I saw a neck like that, it was sitting next to the mashed potatoes and stuffing on Thanksgiving.
Actually, she should tell all Kentucky fans to stay home if she really believes in the cause.
UConn President Susan Herbst released a statement on the matter on Tuesday evening:
In support of Governor Malloys travel ban to the state of Indiana, Kevin Ollie and other members of the UConn mens basketball staff will not travel to Indianapolis for the NCAA Final Four and events surrounding it, Herbst said in a statement. UConn is a community that values all of our members and treats each person with the same degree of respect, regardless of their background and beliefs and we will not tolerate any other behavior.
And how did your treat Ann Coulter?
“Dick Vitale has already backed the idea of moving NCAA events out of the state, “
This is just as bad or worse, doesn’t/didn’t Vitale do pizza commercials as well for someone? I don’t think he is currently. Very bad Dick Vitale, I will never listen to your wisdom on hoops again.
Roger, true all!
Bobby Knight? Where are you?
I am for every body but Kentucky
We beat UK last year 3 Times and I love Ashley being pissed
Another lib hypocrite who boycotts what she doesn’t like but doesn’t allow religious people to do the same.
My advice to Ms. Judd involves a short pier and a long walk!

Why the hatred Ms Judd? Do you even understand the law? That it is not discriminatory in any manner? But is actually and anti-discriminationn law? I doubt it. This is an agenda driven movement and I am thinking maybe this just fits your personal agenda. Hope I am wrong. But still why the hate?
Because she is a Liberal and likes Kentucky (she went to college there). That is about it but I do like her jumping up and down, all excited when Kentucky does good - my sentiments exactly. How can I blame her for that?
Ashley Judd’s mental illness appears to motivate her into behaving like an activist, rather than just sticking to something she’s good at with acting.
True, but not at Kentucky games! She is an avid fan and during these sports events, she is normal and an active fan! I like to look at her this way and ignore the other.
Call me an inactive fan...heh.
Wynonnna’s father was Charles Michael Jordan.
What the? When did they add another letter? I have a few - WTF?
Maybe Indiana will become known as a "clean" state and attract many clean people and businesses.
Not everyone wants the risks to physical and mental health associated with deviant behavior. Such filth increases the risk of STDs, AIDs, depression, suicide, personal violence, and associated mental health issues, not to mention a significantly shorter life span. Only agents of Satan would condone such behavior and attendant chaos.
