NBA pulls 2017 All-Star Game from Charlotte, focuses on New Orleans - Yahoo Sports
I guess the NBA doesn't think men should pee with men.
I don't get why the NBA cares about this.

The people in charge of the NBA want to emit a diverse and accepting attitude so they are moving their ASG elsewhere. Simple enough.
I see a huge lawsuit against the NBA for contract violations.
then they will pay for it through the nose to reimburse the city for the expenses that it has doled out in preparation for the game.
contracts are nasty things to violate.

What preparations have they made so far? It's not like they had to build a new arena or anything. My guess is the NBA and their legal team are well prepared to deal with these matters and they have enough money to pay for it -- probably not a large concern in their department. Any city would be glad to host it (as NOLA has in 2008 and 2014, I believe?). After all, it is the NBA's ASG.
It would be great if fans would boycott the All Star Game. The NBA action is just one more reason why taxpayers should never fund or partially fund sport facilities. With the money they all make, they can build their own arenas.
Better yet, Boycott the Hornets, ask for refunds on all tickets already purchased. If the NBA feels so strongly on the issue, they should break the lease and move the team out of NC.
imo, it is a stupid move by the NBA. Wonder if the NBA considered the business they are hurting that may have the same political view on the issue as the NBA has?
Hopefully, taxpayers of NC will remember this move when it comes time for a new arena
The city had to build several million dollars in upgrades to the stadium among other venue's that would be required for the all star game.
this doesn't include setting up extra security etc ... it also doesn't cover the lost revenue which they can recover as well.
then they shouldn't have issue cutting a check.
I am sure they will when the NBA is sued. unless those ticket will still be good for wherever they move it to.
but that is add hours of travel that a lot of people figured they wouldn't have to deal with.
NBA will be sued? all start tickets were sold already?
Links and factual proof please, thanks LOL

Do you believe the NBA or a City would commit to an event like the All Star game without an agreement or contract?

I provided a linked article in another post. Seems the city has spent 33.5 million in upgrades to the arena , to meet what the NBA wanted for NC to host the event.
Weird, can you you quote where I said that at all in any fashion?
They could have had 100 of them and probably had at least one but them existing doesnt mean they were violated.

They probably won't. The NBA wouldn't be moving the game if they didn't think they could "afford" it. And if you're citing the same article as mike, please see below response. If they really wanted/needed the money, they should change the law. :shrug:
It sounds more like the city spent that to upgrade the stadium but it wasn't to host the event, specifically.
