Does Adam Silver read this blog?
Seriously...
Adam Silver and the NBA made it official today: Transphobia will cost you the All-Star Game.
The NBA, today, pulled the All-Star Game from Charlotte. Well, technically, it appears they are in the process of finding a replacement, but North Carolina's recalcitrance regarding the bill making transgenderism illegal in the state (and that's what it does, I want no arguments here) has basically moved the goalpost from trying to convince them otherwise to finding an alternate city.
New Orleans appears to be the first choice, but other cities are lining up.
The finality of pulling the game should come within a week.
I guess this does eventually beg the question: If North Carolina refuses to rescind HB2, would the NBA actually force the Bobcats to move?
