2017 NBA All Star game pulled out of Charlotte

Seems the NBA is all bent out of shape about the NC bathroom law.

Of course, they will keep doing biz with and in China (one of the biggest human rights violators in the world) cuz it wouldn't be financially prudent to stop.

Such hypocrisy.

So if you had your dyngus cut out and pushed into your groin, underwent hormone therapy, had implants... why would you pee in the men's room?

Free market works in strange ways, gentlemen...

The NBA would put a team in Tehran or Pyongyang if they knew they could make a profit.

And they'd have their K Street lawyers lobbying Congress to get it done.

Hmmm...are male players allowed to play in
the WNBA if they self identify as female?
(Ignore the obvious joke there.)

Joking aside...

A boy, who identifies as female, was allowed to compete as a girl in the Alaska HS track and field championships in May.

He finished third in the 200 and fifth in the 100.

Suffice to say, the girls who finished fourth and sixth respectively were not amused.
