Without any movement by state legislators in North Carolina to change newly enacted laws targeted at the LGBT community, the NBA on Thursday decided to pull the 2017 All-Star Game out of Charlotte.

“Our week-long schedule of All-Star events and activities is intended to be a global celebration of basketball, our league, and the values for which we stand, and to bring together all members of the NBA community – current and former players, league and team officials, business partners, and fans,” the league said in a released statement.

The NBA is focused on the New Orleans’ Smoothie King Center as the host for All-Star Weekend and the All-Star Game on Feb. 19, league sources told The Vertical.

Wondering just how much damage NC's economy is going to have to take before bashing trans people stops being worth the price. :(

Yep, 100% without any question whatsoever, they intentionally passed a law stopping municipalities from being able to pass their own laws that protect trans people with no other reason than to make sure that trans people didn't receive protections.

There is no price too great to pay in order to protect the children (read: young girls). :(

Bashing is pretty fair. It's gotta suck to be trans and not feel comfortable in your own body. Let them pee pee where they want to and move on.

And invalidated the ones that were already passed, iirc.

New Orleans > North Carolina anyway.

We'll see how strong their backasswards convictions are when it starts hurting their wallets. Hint: When money gets involved, they always cave.
