HB2 is not about black people, doofus:

Don't the let facts get in the way of your rant though.
Exactly.
The white, primarily Jewish, billionaires who own the NBA don't give a crap about black people. That has been proven time and time again by their words and their actions.
But the Gay Lobby -- now they have power.
The NBA players should refuse to play in the All-Star Game unless it is moved back to Charlotte where the only NBA franchise with a non white majority owner resides. What the Hell do the Hornets have to do with Gay Rights?
They aren't "pandering to minorities" - they are aligning with people that are against discrimination, which I'm sorry to inform you, has become a majority!

Bad precedent.
Now you are saying if you play an all star game in any city, it means you endorse all of the politics in that state.
Or you will hold a city's potential revenue hostage and coerce them to write the laws that you want.
Keep out of politics.
I get your point, but I disagree. I think the NBA has to protect its bottom line, and ultimately will make more money with the switch.
I don't like how I couldn't go to the Nick Jonas & Demi Lovato concert because they cancelled it in protest. I feel like I'm being punished for my state's laws. They should have came for their fans, and maybe said something about the law during the show.

Keep out of politics.
Human rights should be kept out of politics as well, but conservatives use politics to deny certain humans their rights.
And no, it isn't a human right for a business open to the public to deny service to any subset of that public based on their religious "beliefs."
NBA wants to be on the right side of history
They are doing wheat they perceive to be best for business. That's all.
Free market and all that.
