All-Star Game gone?

Lets go over the reasons this is fuged up...

1. NBA moves it to a state that voted against a bill that would stop LGBT discrimination 

2. Louisiana wants a similar bill to HB2.

3. The NBA continues to push the game on China. Need I explain how fuged up China is?

4. This hurts the city that was fighting against discrimination.

5. fug McCrory.

Michael Jordan and The Hornets released a statement stating that they did not support HB2 and the NBA still moved the game. But its not the first time the NBA has screwed Charlotte.

If the NBA truly wants to make stand they should move the Hornets "home games" to a temporary location until the law is changed but they will not; it's ok for the hornets to play 41 games in Charlotte but not ok for one all star game to be played in Charlotte. If i'm not mistaking the HB2 law applies to hornets games as well. smh

Wouldn't be surprised if Jordan sells the team and/or its relocated.

Breaking the lease would be troublesome.

In a way, I applaud the NBA for pushing through with a thread.   In another, it kind of sucks because Charlotte as a city is pretty liberal and voted against descrimination so it was pretty unfair.  If it was being held in Raleigh that's another matter.    I wish Charlotte would annex itself away from NC and become it's own state lol, Texas style.

    • Where did I once say we should draft him because he's a projected Top 5 pick?   That's one of my many problems with you, your reading comprehension skills are very poor (and/or you just don't care to use your brain, one of the two).  I solely used that to point out that me pushing T-Mac isn't some absurd homerism, that at least I'm pushing someone who is deserving of a Top 5 draft pick. And despite me explaining it to you numerous times, you still seem to not grasp how QB's get placed in mock drafts vs draft grades.  They are treated entirely different in mock drafts to any other position, because of how teams generally treat them in the draft because of how important the position is. Literally any other position except QB, mock drafts generally follow draft grades with some team needs factored in.  But with QB's, draft grades are generally disregarded and they ALWAYS put a few QB's at the very top of the draft, because that's just usually what happens.  The exact same thing happened in 2022 with guys like Pickett and Willis widely being Top 10 picks in mock drafts, only for Pickett to fall to what, around 20?, and Willis going in the 2nd round (and even being the 3rd QB if I remember correctly too). The overwhelming majority of draft experts are saying there isn't a high first round grade on these QB's, but they still get mocked there because they're trying to predict how the draft will actually go. That's been my point the entire time, reaching for a QB in a bad QB draft when you have a roster as depleted of talent as ours, does not tend to work out well. And I've never said I'm not open to other players, I've very explicitly said that if a QB or DE stands out come draft time, I'm open to that discussion.  That I'd be open to Hunter as a CB but I prefer a WR over a CB at the top of the draft.  But we're also not talking about the 15th pick here where there could realistically be all sorts of possible picks to discuss.  With the first pick, there really would only be a small handful of options, T-Mac is head and shoulders above any other given our current roster and state of the franchise in general.
    • TMac is good, but he isn't pick 1 on a WR good.  Last year he would be below Nabers and Williams.  This year you could argue Hunter is the better WR.  WR at 1 better be a Calvin Johnson not a WR that disappears some games in college...
    • So because he's a projected top 5 pick he's should be the guy we draft.   Yet you say the other 2 QBs who are projected top 5 picks are not worth it because you think they aren't that good.   That's my problem with you. You just seem to only care about Tmac. I have yet to see you suggest anyone outside of Tmac. At least I'm open to other prospects.
