NBA Rejects Hate, Pulls All-Star Game From North Carolina
July 21, 2016 by Michael Stone 0 Comments

A victory for secular values, and a defeat for anti-gay religious
conservatives.

According to media reports, the NBA is pulling the 2017 All-Star Game
out of Charlotte, North Carolina because of the House Bill 2, state’s
discriminatory law that targets LGBT people.

HB2 — known officially as the Public Facilities Privacy and Security Act
— dictates which bathrooms transgender people are permitted to use, and
prohibits local governments from enacting anti-discrimination
protections based on sexual orientation and gender identity, effectively
promoting discrimination and bigotry against the LGBT population.

NBA commissioner Adam Silver had previously threatened to move the
All-Star game out of Charlotte unless the discriminatory North Carolina
law aimed at the state’s LGBT community was changed.

Yahoo reports time to change the discriminatory law has run out because
of the logistics and planning the NBA needs to run its marquee
mid-season event.

In total, the cancellation is expected to cost the state an estimated
$100 million, according to an estimate published by the Charlotte Observer.

.... and you say the free market does not work.

If the northerners had tried half as hard to end slavery using free
market forces as they are doing for transvestites and cross dressers,
slavery would have withered on the vine without killing 3% of the
population in a war that did not really make things that much better
for blacks for another 100 years.

Uh-huh. Sure.


You can't seem to make up your mind tonight. You are saying the free
market can stop over 4000 years of religious bigotry against gays,
then you say it would have been useless against a 300 year slave
tradition that was at it's base a market driven institution. As soon
as slavery was not economically viable, it would go away pretty fast.



I offer up a sarcastic and ironic data point and you build it into a
theorem. You're a funny guy.


I am a thinking person who extends your brain farts to a logical
conclusion. For someone who touts your education as something that was
supposed to give you abilities to think outside the box, you have the
most regimented mind I have ever seen. You seem to believe that just
because something worked out like it did, that is the only way it
could have been.
On the other hand, when given the choice between fact and fantasy in
the present, you choose satire and parody over fact.

You are the funny guy
