Well after the false positive, now it's official and right from the source...
Silver: Law change needed to keep '17 All-Star in Charlotte | NBA.com
"Commissioner Adam Silver believes the NBA has been 'crystal clear' that the 2017 All-Star Game only stays in Charlotte if a North Carolina law goes."
no deadline as of yet, but clock is ticking. I am sure the usual bigots will blame the 'gay agenda' for coercing a pro league that only 4 years had never had a single openly gay athlete
or maybe, just maybe, it's cause it's the right thing to do
i also wonder if the charlotte nba team will be moved altogether. HBO's "Real Sports" went much further, as Gumbel argued the NFL and NCAA teams should also pull out (how UNC could do this legally i have no clue, but there are a couple regionals in NC coming that should be cancelled)
i am pleased to see the actual impact of a discriminatory law being addressed for once, and not political lies about 'family values' nor token gestures of remorse by those who ****ed up badly
