All-Star game

The games were pulled after the state passed a law that nullified municipal LGBT rights ordinances and forces trans people to use certain restrooms.

The NCAA says the decision by its board of governors came “because of the cumulative actions taken by the state concerning civil rights protections.”

“I know what it is,” declared the notoriously anti-trans governor. Well, he would know, right?

The Golden State Warriors president told his fellow owners that he would not go to North Carolina because of H.B.2.

“Has your city, county/parish, and/or state passed anti-discrimination laws that are applicable to all persons?”

Commissioner Silver did not say when a decision would be made on possibly moving the game, but that the clock is ticking.

Putting fans at risk of discrimination would “send a terrible message about who the NBA is and what it values as an organization.”

The NBA superstar was adamant that “We need to move the All-Star Game.”

The NCAA Board of Governors adopted an anti-discrimination rule that would affect the way the body evaluates bids to host sporting events.

“A change in the law is necessary for us to play in the kind of environment that we think is appropriate for a celebratory NBA event.”

“With the position of power that I’m in and being able to be on television, I’m supposed to stand up for the people who can’t stand up for themselves.”
