“Our week-long schedule of All-Star events and activities is intended to be a global celebration of basketball, our league, and the values for which we stand, and to bring together all members of the NBA community – current and former players, league and team officials, business partners, and fans. While we recognize that the NBA cannot choose the law in every city, state, and country in which we do business, we do not believe we can successfully host our All-Star festivities in Charlotte in the climate created by HB2."
“The sports and entertainment elite, Attorney General Roy Cooper and the liberal media have for months misrepresented our laws and maligned the people of North Carolina simply because most people believe boys and girls should be able to use school bathrooms, locker rooms and showers without the opposite sex present." McCrory said.
..."Today’s news is further evidence that HB2 is an economic disaster for North Carolina,” said Gerrick Brenner, executive director of Progress NC Action. “Over $100 million in economic activity is leaving our state because of Gov. McCrory’s discriminatory law, on top of the hundreds of jobs and millions in tourism dollars that our state has already lost over HB2."

How many jobs have these folks robbed our state of?

NBA cancelling all-star game,costing Charlotte area $100 million.Wonder if McCrory will keep saying HB2 not hurting NC economy? #ncga #ncpol— Fitzsimon (@Fitzsimon) July 21, 2016
Right now, some press aide in the Gov's office is writing one hell of a whopper. #HB2— Kirk Ross (@ludkmr) July 21, 2016
The @NBA moved the #AllStarGame because of #HB2 -- so it makes business sense not to be in NC. That's scary for our economy @PatMcCroryNC— Brad Caldwell (@brad_caldwell) July 21, 2016
House Bill 2 is an absolute Gem. Cop that you filthy fags, about time society didn't give in to you queers. #HB2 #NoRoomForQueersOrMexicans— James Ward (@Wardy5723) July 21, 2016
