Just to update - NCAA set to ban North Carolina from hosting events for next six years, according to report - Outsports
“Our contacts at the NCAA tell us that, due to their stance on HB2, all North Carolina bids will be pulled from the review process and removed from consideration,” Scott Dupree, of the N.C. Sports Association and Greater Raleigh Sports Alliance, wrote.
“That process will begin in the various sports committees starting in 7 to 10 days and continuing through February. At that point, we will be faced with a six-year drought of NCAA championships in North Carolina.”
6 years! 57 attempts to host tournaments in Wake County alone with be throttled, all thanks to this hateful and needless law
If we simply had a nationwide law outright criminalizing antisocial behavior such as cross-dressing and pretending to be something you're not, it would definitely be needless.Just to update - NCAA set to ban North Carolina from hosting events for next six years, according to report - Outsports

It's about time Duke and UNC had to play outside their state before the semifinals. If this is what it takes to make that happen, I'm all for it.
lol i thought that too. I recall reading that nothing would bring an end to the law than this, yet it's happening and still the courts will have to decide its fate. I guess the voters in NC just hate lgbt enough to give up their basketball fix
Its not about hating someone... what do you not get about that?
The only thing hateful is that they don't allow rounding these miscreants up and putting them away - that's certainly hateful toward people of decency who're being denied the right to remove social bacteria from civilized society.the state not allowing cities to ban discrimination against lgbt specifically is absolutely about hate, and if you don't get THAT you're no better than the haters in NC

NCAA to move 7 championships from North Carolina due to HB2 law
"The NCAA announced on Monday the relocation of seven previously awarded championship events — including NCAA tournament games in Greensboro — from the state of North Carolina during the 2016-17 academic year as a result of the state's controversial House Bill 2.
The law prevents cities and counties from passing protections based on sexual orientation and gender identity."
This follows the NBA all-star game and numerous conventions, business openings, concerts, and government travel. However this is very significant because anyone will tell you the voters in north carolina care more about their college basketball tournament than anything and nothing would bring HB2 to a swifter repeal. I'm also shocked because the NCAA is known as a behemoth devoid of humanity. Well, any predictions how this will alter things there?
Err mods delete if you want since i see now there's another thread
So you admit all Trump supporters are raging bigots, about time someone did
Some people just want boys in the boys room and girls in the girls room. It isn't always "raging" bigotry.
i recommend you look at what the law (it's only 3 pages, so that even a republican can read it) actually says. It protects anti gay (but not race or gender or religion) discrimination for employment

Can you please demonstrate to me, the section that SPECIFICALLY "protects" anti-gay discrimination for employment ??
Also, you didn't bother responding to my previous, now several days old, post on proving HATE.
Doesn't change that some people just want boys in the boys room and girls in the girls room.
If that were true, that an entire party wants this, you would see a hell of a lot bathrooms with no gender restriction. This is so that *transgender* individuals who no longer present as the sex they weren't born with 30 years ago can use the bathroom without fear. As they had been doing without incident until republicans decided to use them for political gain. Too bad it backfired and their governor was the only republican in the entire country unseated
And the law still stands. Eventually the left will learn that if they push too hard for too much at once, the right is going to use that to motivate people not just to resist, but to push the left's agenda back further than they expected. Tis the nature of politics. Some people who just want boys in the boys room and girls in the girls room might very well have been on the left's side on other issues but were pushed too far. Gotta pick them battles carefully.
