Guest NC1406 Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 It is ironic that the City of Charlotte passed an ordinance that supported the right to pee where ever you wanted. Then the State of NC legislature passed the HB2 law to override the Charlotte act. Now the NBA pulls the game to punish Charlotte. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are hurting nobody but their own people. What happens when college football teams decide not to play against NC's resurgent football team in NC thanks to these laws? Or when a high profile basketball team decides to not play North Carolina? Be sure to note that Albany declined to play Duke for this very reason.

aujeff11 6,243 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Just highlighting the North Carolina Republican Party response: “This is so absurd it’s almost comical,” North Carolina Republican Party spokesperson Kami Mueller said in a statement Monday. “I genuinely look forward to the NCAA merging all men’s and women’s teams together as singular, unified, unisex teams. Under the NCAA’s logic, colleges should make cheerleaders and football players share bathrooms, showers and hotel rooms. This decision is an assault to female athletes across the nation. If you are unwilling to have women’s bathrooms and locker rooms, how do you have a women’s team? “I wish the NCAA was this concerned about the women who were raped at Baylor,” Mueller continued. “Perhaps the NCAA should stop with their political peacocking — and instead focus their energies on making sure our nation’s collegiate athletes are safe, both on and off the field.” Keep it up North Carolina.

I'm curious to see how far North Carolina is willing to push the issue. Major corporations that impact North Carolina's economy seem willing to flex their muscles even more if they have to, and it's inevitable North Carolina will eventually lose. If there is anybody that is becoming a martyr between Kaepernick and North Carolina, it's North Carolina because Kaepernick hasn't lost a dime and won't.

Overall he has done a really good job. The issue in this thread is not part of my description of a good job.......should have never been a government issue. Wish the City of Charlotte had never started the process and the state legislature had not responded with more idiocy. Not a fan of college BB so I really don't care that the games were moved but I promise many in this state will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's cost your state hundreds of millions of dollars economically and that will only get worse as time goes on. The market has spoken. Time to walk it back.

Then a state government (based in Raleigh) responded to a local action in an insane way. Honestly, Charlotte is the second to last place that needed to enact this piece of legislation in the state of NC. If people want to protect the transgender then head on over to Eastern NC or even the parts of Western NC that aren't Asheville and put out some laws......that would be awesome to watch. If anyone wants to go to Eastern NC to start this process, let me know. I have some great ideas of where you should start. I will stand back and watch. It is all politics.

The gov can sue the Federal government, but they can't sue the companies that pull out jobs, the musicians that won't perform, the NBA and NCAA that won't hold tournaments here, the conventions that won't come, etc. You really can't dismiss studies like this - they're real.

"Woe to them that call evil good and good evil" which is exactly what this is all about. Yeah, cause those transgender folks are such a threat to my daughters. The law doesn't serve that purpose. Based on statistics, child molesters overwhelmingly choose people they know as their victims, not strangers. They choose private instead of public places. Plus most sex offenders are male and their victims are male, so they are still going into the same restroom. Finally, does anyone really think that someone who breaks one law (child molestation) is going to obey another (which restroom to use)? Further, far more priests and other folks in positions of religious authority, Protestant and Catholic, are sex offenders than trans people yet no one has ever suggested a law to ban them from public restrooms.
