A bipartisan group of senators has asked NBA Commissioner Adam Silver to pull the league's 2017 All-Star game from North Carolina because of a law in that state that many say discriminates against gay and transgender people.

Sens. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., Pat Leahy, D-Vt., Cory Booker, D-N.J., Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., Patty Murray, D-Wash., and Mark Kirk, R-Ill., all signed onto the letter sent Tuesday. Kirk is the only Republican signed onto the letter and is running for reelection this year.

I bet the NBA caves. That bald commish seems to love the leftists.
Unbelievable! Disgusting. Creeps me out.
I say Great, Isn’t reducing or eliminating the Morally Bankrupt, and Criminal Element always a Positive Move forward? They should Ban the NBA Completely.
How many gays are playing in the NBA All Star game?? Hypocrites
So, a bunch of yankee senators are instigating economic warfare on NC to force it to reverse course and allow ladies’ restrooms, showers, locker-rooms to be open to male perverts.
Any male going into a ladies’ restroom needs to have his skull bashed in. And that goes double for any politician or corporate CEO or so-called “entertainer” that is similarily advocating for this deviant insanity.
What about the enshrined right to privacy that got “discovered” in the Constitution - so shouldn’t that also apply to bathrooms? And if I’m not comfortable sharing a community room with those who have different plumbing, don’t I have the right to lock the bathroom door behind me and exercise my right to privacy?
So everyone who then has to wait on line until I’m done will just have to tolerate me ... unless of course THEY are intolerant!
Greedy politician$ win again. Everything is about sex and money in Obonzo’s fundamentally deformed Amerika. Freedom and religion are “old school” and have been thrown out. That’s the way communism works.
Right. Move the game to a state where Christians can be denied their First Amendment right to freely exercise their religion. A state where Christians can be put out of business for declining to be involved in a gay wedding. That’s so much better.
The way to combat this is to play the game.
Next job application, identify as a black female homosexual muslim.
Once the system is used against the liberals, they’ll drop it.
Silver has already said he will do this if they don’t repeal the law in 30 days.
Don’t worry. Kirk is toast. Unfortunately, that means doofus Tammy Duckworth gets in.
Oregon ping. ...Sen. Merkley
Speaking of diversity, how’s that working out for the NBA? Any concerns there?
Five Democrats and a dead Republican walking. I guess that qualifies as bi-partisan these days.
Who wants a bunch of NBA thugs coming to their state? Apparently a bunch of people. I’m not one.
Transgendered guys already use the ladies rooms. You see them all the time in there - if you’re awake and observant. The Democratic mayor and her buddy the registered sex offender pushed the initial ordinance.
NC should pass a law giving transgendered free access to NBA locker rooms.
Transgender bathrooms are not only ludicrous.
They are:
1. A threat of child molestation.
2. Aiding the delinquency of minors.
3. Red meat dangling before perverts.
4. A significant erosion of morality.
People will sure put themselves through contortions in order to defend and justify why deviants with mental illnesses should be lauded as brave and protected, while those of us who are normal and do not have mental illnesses are degraded and marginalized.
Their mental illness is not mine and their unnatural sexual deviance is not mine. I’ll never say it’s okay. They can agitate all they want and hurl all the insults they can think of but I’m never going to give in and say that it’s okay. They can do whatever they want in private but they should just stop trying to force everyone on the planet to cheer them on or join in.
