This is not a democratic republic but a corporatist state.

I’d tell them to take a hike and have a family and faith rally instead.

All-star games are disposable. The NBA won't go any further than that.

Even then, I guarantee you they're bluffing.

Who cares, the NBA died when Bird and Magic retired. Nobody plays defense during the All-Star game anyway. The NBA is just pandering to their celebrity base.

North Carolina has the chance to set an example for the rest of the nation, if it chooses principal over money.

Will they take the bribe, or stand for something?

If the latter, this could be the start of a movement.

This is getting ridiculous. Politically correct blackmail.

if the state’s new anti-LGBT laws are not altered

The NBA prefers the anti normal women and children laws.

NC should sue the NBA for trying to blackmail them.

Well, if they listen to Trump, they will take the bribe and cave. As Trump said, “they should have left it alone”. After all, their law is “costing them”, as Trump says. Yeah, yeah, I know he now says it’s a state issue, but his initial responses to such controversies are instructive.

Charlotte started this mess. It just sucks to be them.

Extortion needs to be confronted. There needs to be a war over this.

File criminal charges. This effort to extort sounds like a RICO violation or something.

Show these bastards that we will not play games with them. If they want to F*** with us, we will try to put them in jail.

No - it’s yet another concrete example of the collective power of the Deviant Lobby. It’s a war and we’re losing.

Mr. Silver is just another thought control commissar, if it is so evil, should they not make the Charlotte team move to a more enlightened location.
