The National Basketball Association has, in recent years, been a league that's been ahead of the curve when it comes to responding to discrimination.
When former Clippers owner Donald Sterling was taped uttering racist remarks, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver banned him from the league for life. It was the first of the four major professional sports leagues to have an openly gay player on one of its teams when Jason Collins played for the Brooklyn Nets in 2013. It also became the first league to have a full-time female coach when the San Antonio Spurs named Becky Hammon one of its assistant coaches in 2014.

No slimy ass drag queen (that’s a man with something dangling between his legs), is getting in a female bathroom in NC. The PC liberal NBA can stick their All Star game where the sun don’t shine. There’s still some people in this country that will not cave the LBGWBT lobby or whatever in the hell you call these degenerates. God bless the Tar Heel state. Lock up the damn perverts and get them as far away from women and children as you can!
Don’t forget ESPN gave drag queen Bruce Jenner their “courage award” for telling the world he likes to run around dressed up like a woman.
