Sources: NBA on brink of pulling 2017 All-Star Game out of Charlotte, with New Orleans emerging as a front-runner to host Feb. 19 game.

 

Having it go to NOLA would be an extra kick in the balls.

[WOW!!]

fug McCory...

This is his 2nd time he has screwed Charlotte with his dumbass politics...

[Daddy_Uncle]

fug Pat McCrory. Seriously fug that piece of poo. One mans stupid disgusting pointless hateful beliefs ruins something amazing for an entire city. fug him

[Goondal]

Really is fitting that New Orleans is stealing from us again.  This flippin sucks.

[Kakarot]

It's gone. That is some absolute bullsh*t smh

[Proudiddy]

McCrory is a bitch.  fuging punk ass bitch motherfuging cocksucker.

[Kakarot]

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

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.

Between the bathroom bill and killing film industry McCrory's pissed away billions in revenue and 1,000+ jobs for the state. Never seen anything like and I genuinely feel for my people back home.

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

If Charlotte loses the Hornets again there will be riots, like actual riots and looting I'm sure of it.

Breaking the lease would be troublesome.

So sad man. Again, all the wrong people are getting punished because of a handful of people in Raleigh can't get their poo together

[Zaximus]

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.
