No entertainment for you! Because LGBT.

Adam Silver, commissioner of the NBA, has stated he will move the 2016 NBA All-Star game, originally to be played in North Carolina, due the state's HB2 bill.

The language used to express the infringement of "rights" is amusing.
"Since March, when North Carolina enacted HB2 and the issue of legal protections for the LGBT community in Charlotte became prominent, the NBA and the Charlotte Hornets have been working diligently to foster constructive dialogue and try to effect positive change," the league said. "We have been guided in these discussions by the long-standing core values of our league. These include not only diversity, inclusion, fairness and respect for others but also the willingness to listen and consider opposing points of view.
Legal protections? How about protection of females and young girls? "Positive" change just means bend over and let transgenders use whatever bathroom they want. And what are these "long-standing core values" of the NBA? There aren't any. Silver is just talking out of his ass because being "inclusive" towards transgenders is the new "it" thing. This is despite the fact that there hasn't been a massive boycott or petition to move the event due to North Carolina's bill. People would have attended the game, probably in no lesser amount than before, if the game was still using the state as its location. This all is virtue signaling.

I'm rather confident that Silver did not read the bill nor did he factor in the concept of a man using a man's restroom and a woman using a woman's restroom. This decision was political based on shallow points.

After Obergerfell v Hodges, talks about Captain America, Spider-Man, and Po Dameron being gay, creation of the first same-sex cartoon pairing, the suing of numerous businesses not catering to same-sex mirages, the LGB fervor have moved on to T. I guarantee you the "willingness to listen and consider opposing  of view" will happen, but the decision was already made: make an example of those who oppose the LGBT - by suing, stripping away their entertainment, and by national and international ridicule and mockery. There's little doubt that UK news outlets have already splashed this story on their front page, because Americans are so gosh darn bigoted!
