NBA moving 2017 All-Star Game from Charlotte over HB2 bill

LAS VEGAS -- The NBA is moving the the 2017 All-Star Game in February from Charlotte because of its objection to North Carolina House Bill 2, which limited anti-discrimination protections in the state.

In a statement, the league said it hopes to reschedule the game to appear in Charlotte in 2019.

"Since March, when North Carolina enacted HB2 and the issue of legal protections for the LGBT community in Charlotte became prominent, the NBA and the Charlotte Hornets have been working diligently to foster constructive dialogue and try to effect positive change," the league said. "We have been guided in these discussions by the long-standing core values of our league. These include not only diversity, inclusion, fairness and respect for others but also the willingness to listen and consider opposing points of view.

Geez, I didn't know there were that many transsexuals in the NBA. I wonder if they make high heels in size 16

They could stand flat footed and dunk the ball. Instead they fly through the air, gyrating with windmill turns and monster dunk the ball, shattering the glass. Crowd goes wild, owner gives player 3 million dollar raise. Where have you gone Dolph Schayes, Bob Cousey, Bill Russell?

BB players wear dresses anyway. One little bump and they're rolling around on the floor and miss 10 games.

Fem all.

Roundball is as boring as soccer.

Its a real shame for the decent people living in a theocracy.

So who gives a rats ass, let the people of NC do as they choose. What right does anyone have to dictate what another should feel, their morals, dictate how they should live. Face it the people of NC are exercising their rights, too bad for those that are offended.

A few years ago the backward southern states were exercising their rights. Were they right to do so ?

It is not "bigotry" to call sexual deviancy and perversion (a.k.a. homosexuality) what it is... and to label it as wicked, licentious, degenerate, and contrary to the general welfare...

Good on North Carolina...

Telling the NBA to go <bleep> itself...
