Travel ban in California hurting college sports, lawmaker says
Sacramento Bee ^ | March 16, 2018 | Billy Kobin

San Diego State's men's basketball team took the court Thursday in the first round of the NCAA tournament, but California's multistate travel ban meant the trip to Wichita, Kansas, was more arduous than usual.

Under a California law that took effect last year, state universities and public agencies are prohibited from using state money to travel to Kansas and seven other states with laws deemed discriminatory toward lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people.

But one California lawmaker has introduced Assembly Bill 2389 to change that and allow California colleges to use taxpayer money for athletic and academic trips to the banned states.

Our travel ban is exemplary virtue-signaling, but must be set aside in cases where might actually be invoked.

Bummer. Looks like the team will have to stay home and hump each other to stay within the confines of the law.

Assemblyman Evan Low, D-Campbell, authored AB 1887 and said it prevents taxpayer dollars from funding bigotry and hatred.

They always go straight to "bigotry and hatred", evil, backwards, stupid, etc. That's how you reach across the aisle with the rest of America.

This is when these 8 states should ban California from participating in their states because of their Laws against the Constitutionally Protected Right of the citizens to keep and bear arms without being infringed.

Easy solution: California public colleges forfeit any sports games which are to be played in one the of their “banned” states. People need to be willing to make personal sacrifices for their beliefs.

Looks like it’s complete to me. All that’s left to do is build a wall!

“...should ban California...”

Not to mention freedom of religion and speech.

They should have been made to forfeit the game.

I’m self identifying as a pink panda today and that restroom is discriminating against pandas.

Why bother obeying California laws, when most of the people living here in California aren’t required to.

Yup. Just stand back and let it implode. You Freepers in the North need to be prepared to take over or run like hell.

San Diego State got eliminated in the first round last night. Anyhow how come a team who’s mascot, Aztec, honoring a slave holding, imperialistic, human sacrificing culture was allowed to participate?

They were so close. I had them in the Sweet 16 so my bracket is trash now.

Freedom of movement is a right affirmed under Crandall v. Nevada 73 U.S. 35(1868). States can’t inhibit people from leaving the state by taxing them.

So the team has gone from staying in a Hilton to a Motel 6?
