California's San Diego State men's basketball team banned from paying for travel to Texas to play in program's first Final Four game
A lawmaker in California is hoping to overturn the state's ban on government funding for travel to states with laws they find discriminatory.
Since 2016, California has been steadily adding to its list of U.S. destinations barred from state-funded travel. The practice began in retaliation to North Carolina enacting a law requiring people to use the bathrooms that corresponded with their biological sex.

And not a single one of those states gives a tinker’s damn. This helps no one and only hurts CA.
IOW a typical lib virtue-signaling exercise.
Can anyone get a quick restraining order against SD State?
Hoist on their own petard. Petards.
I do everything humanly possible to avoid buying ANY products originating from CA.
I suggest others do the same.

It would be sweet if Texas could return the favor, and ban San Diego State from playing in their state due to “bigotry.”
Why don’t they do it the old fashioned way and take up a collection?
“I do everything humanly possible to avoid buying ANY products originating from CA.”
I try not to even transit through the airport there
We don’t want them. Stay home!
“I try not to even transit through the airport there”
Good practice for when CA finally figures out how to automatically tax your income for time spent in that state when on business travel. They’d do it now but they can’t effectively enforce it yet.
Newsom needs to campaign.
“I do everything humanly possible to avoid buying ANY products originating from CA.
I suggest others do the same.”

Don’t be fooled only reason Toni Atkins want to change the law is to go to republican states and force educat said states to see the lbgtq way of things.
So does that mean that San Diego State won’t accept the check for being in the final four?
well, we know where their priorities are now.
GREAT PLAN! They can use this “inclusion” photo in their first marketing campaign. It would instantly win over everybody in flyover country.
