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

Posted on 04/22/2016 8:55:31 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

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.

If this is so evil, why don’t they force the Charlotte team to move to a transgender bathroom friendly city.

Take a cue from Curt Schiling, NC - just tell the nba to go eff themselves (no pun intended).

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

No. Carolina has more to gain than to lose by standing strong!

If this is how things are going to go down now,

Folks, I suggest you start organizing where you are, and begin the exact same process on issues that matter to you. Coordinate with other state and cities. Use it against proposed liberal legislation already on the books, or inprocess.

Embarass, shame, polarize, boycott. Humor to embarrass the other side, as they really hate that. Do not listen to any of theirmfake criticism, if they complain about a tactic use it twice as much as they are telling you what is working.

They have made it a legitimate tactic.
Time to step up and deal with themon their terms and to hell with any media criticism. Nothing stops them. Just do not do the one thing they do, and that is lie. Do not,lie like the liberals do. That is where they ultimately fail with people.

Does the NBA have any form of anti-trust exemption?

Is it “non-profit”?

Can both of these be reversed?

Hey Silver...that’s a two-way street. Why do you want women and young girls to be molested?

Is Silver gay?

If not, perhaps this asskissing panderer is in the closet?

He sure looks feminine enough

This is too much strife and economic hardship. North Carolina should just punt on this issue. There are very few problems with this. Very few.
