NBA Will Move All-Star Game If North Carolina Doesn't Change Anti-LGBT Laws
DeadSpin ^ | 04/22/2016

North Carolina is set to host the 2017 NBA All-Star game, but in a meeting with reporters today, commissioner Adam Silver said that the game will have to be moved if recently enacted anti-LGBT laws are not changed.

Silver was much more vague when asked about when specifically such a decision would be made, but this is still as clear a rebuke of the North Carolina laws as we’ve seen from him.

I didn’t even know the NBA had an all star game.

Is it as boring as baseball’s All Star?

The NBA is also attempting to influence our gun laws in Oklahoma through threat and coercion. I find this intolerable.

“Sports and sports media are becoming intolerable with their PC leanings.”

ESPN has always been the worst offender.

Too bad our current front runner for the GOP supports the PERVERTS.

Next time why don't we just cut to the chase and put BARNEY FRANK AND BARBARA BOXER on the ticket from the start?

heh.

I know....I know....

Jedi.

Well it’s either that or hildebeast and faux-cahauntus on the same ticket. Or maybe hildebeast will take a chance on super anti 2nd biotch finesteen.

You absolutely nailed it there.

North Carolina really needs to stand their ground here.

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, As of July 1, 2015, Silver serves on Duke University's Board of Trustees.

Is he going to move Duke University out of North Carolina?

Good. That’s about 3 less shootings Charlotte will have to deal with that night.

The NBA can take their thug-fest to Atlanta. Nobody watches the damn thing anyway.
