Good for the NBA for pulling the 2017 all star game out of charlotte because of the HB2 law. More millions of dollars lost to the state for such an ignorant law.

The ONLY reason I have a hard time with this is it hurts the local team who's house gets to show off to the rest of the world as well as the NBA. That team didn't do anything to warrant this.

I am glad the NBA did this though. It'll reach far more people than pj or the boss could have ever hoped for.

Silver said they hope Charlotte gets the game in 2019.

Also

North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory reacted to the NBA's decision with a statement that said multiple groups had "misrepresented our laws and maligned the people of North Carolina" for months.

"American families should be on notice that the selective corporate elite are imposing their political will on communities in which they do business, thus bypassing the democratic and legal process," he said.

Methinks someone doesn't understand a capitalism

I will put it short and sweet:

Fuck McCrory. he is destroying our economy. and now they announced layoffs of employees of the Dept of Transportation. 4 more years of this clown and we will be completely ruined.

My mom moved down from the NE in 2007 to be a chair of a department at ECU. Last year she laid out a plan for the school where she would retire in 5 years and move up to Philly (my sister and I both live here). She is so disgusted with the state that she has bumped that up and will be moving up here after the next school year. Doesn't want to give another dollar in taxes to the state. It is awful. One thing after another. She loves so much about that state, but hates so much.

The sad thing about it was before 2010 we were on a very progressive path. We were one of the fastest growing states with a lot of people from the NE moving here and it started to reflect that diversity. Now after the 2010 midterms, everything is going backwards. I really hope we vote this clown and the senate out of office. unfortunately, they have gerrymandered our districts to make it extremely difficult to do so.

Obama carried the state in 2008! This is all a pretty recent phenomenon. Awful.

It does suck for the bobcats, or hornets. Whoever the charlotte team is. If I was a partner in the ownership of that team, I would be inquiring about moving the team to South Carolina unless the bill is repealed.

All around sillyness

McCrory is losing right now. that is the first step to getting this repealed and if the Justice Department has to step in then so be it.
Republicans are reaping what they have sown. destroying the economy of this state.

South Carolina is more backward than North Carolina.

Yeah, we get it. You think this is a silly non-issue. For others it is a big deal or at least interesting, so how about quit trying to be a wet blanket and either add to the discussion or move along. Thanks.
