    Good to know that in a majority black league, the commissioner has no problem with the blatantly racist Louisiana State legislature.

    F Silver and the NBA.

    Go play your games anywhere you want too.

    Stay out of our politics.

    As long as my Rockets stay in Houston I don't care for ASG and events of that nature. Pretty much not concerned at all.

    Or maybe it's good that the NBA cares about people's rights. Just maybe.

    That's easy to say, but would you take your family somewhere that it wasn't certain they'd all be able to return home?

    This has nothing to do with politics, this has to do with human rights.

    That's exactly what they are doing. They are saying they will play games where the laws fit their values - ie, playing their games where they want.

    ...and good business sense.

    Would he ask the 130+ corporations who signed a letter protesting the North Carolina bill to "stay out of politics"?

    This is a D&D topic, but this proposed legislation is an economic boondoggle that attempts to solve a non-existent problem.

    Good for them.

    If the NBA wants to get into the political arena then they aren't welcome in Texas. IMHO

    You really believe this?

    Let me tell you if I had a daughter (We only have a boy) I appreciate Abbott doing whatever it takes to keep boys/men out of the girls/women's restrooms. Nothing good can come from this.

    Which are often politicized, unfortunately.

    How many transgenders have been beaten up vs how many girls/women could possibly be raped in said restroom?

    You know there's data on this, right? There is no evidence of more rapes or whatever in places that don't have these restrictive laws.

    Do you have a problem with a gay man using a men's restroom because he might rape someone?

    How was this data accumulated?

    Nope, People should go to the bathroom where their junk dictates.

    How did this even become an issue? Were transgenders being beaten up at a greater rate than other men in the MENS restroom. Penis = Mens room, Vagina = Womens room. It's really simple.

    If the NBA wants this then they should pay to have trangender only restrooms installed. They easy solution for this is to designate the handicapped restroom to include transgenders.

    Shut up dude. That's uncalled for and you're making a straw man just like all the other idiots who defend these archaic bathroom bills
