good job nba, you just ticked off a bunch of liberals.
its understandable why the league did this. it literally subsidizes a failing entity known as the wnba or as i like to call it...lesboleague.
2 things.
1. Ballcoach15 should be panned/suspended or at the very least have his post removed. There should be no patience or acceptance of what was said regardless of how much you disagree with someone else's lifestyle.
2. Unfortunately RM, the liberals aren't ticked about the All-Star game moving. In theory, yes they are because nobody wants the All-Star game to move, but they are more accepting and understanding of it than anything else. In fact, most of them agree wholeheartedly with the decision even though it is bad for the City/State. As someone who lives in Charlotte and whose boss is running for a Democratic HoR seat, I hear the left side all day long and the libs are uber-ticked at McCrory and blame him alone.
The incredible thing about all of this is that people are blaming the Governor for a decision made by the NBA. Flip side of the argument is the NBA wouldn't HAVE to make the decision had it not been for HB2 to begin with. I not here to debate whether Silver is a liberal, but this decision was not made from his conscience rather than to uphold an appearance and maintain sponsorship $$$$ and keep the revenue streams flowing. Not to mention, the last thing Silver wants are a bunch of protesters outside the arena of one of his teams causing a scene when the world is watching.
