Wow. I walk around Charlotte a lot, before and after games for the Hornets, Panthers, and Knights.

I really like the place. Guess the madre doesn't walk the areas I walk?

We also lost all the carpetbagger New Yorkers coming down and getting on welfare. So it looks like a wash

I spent last weekend in Charlotte. They have bigger problems then losing the NBA or bathrooms. They might want to clean up the drug pushers on the streets so that people actually don't mind hanging around the place.

Anyhoo, it got me to thinking, why not just have one restroom for everybody?

I am just returning from vacation where I was in planes trains and automobiles. At the airport, they had three restrooms in the restroom area. Men's, Women's, and Family. They had the icon girl with the skirt for the ladies, the icon guy with the pants for the men, and both icons for the family, cept the lady icon had a baby icon in her arms. I went in there to look and it was just like a regular restroom, but I reckon everybody was welcome to go in there.

Sure they do.

What's your point? Charlotte shouldn't make more money?

Always complaining about how there are no jobs in Wilkes but turn right around and celebrate when other people lose work. It's really sad.

Exactly.

Charlotte has 41 regular season basketball games per year, that generate revenue for businesses in the city and state. The All-Star game is simply the biggest money maker, a weekend of festivities that provides an amazing boon to every city that holds it.

So, yeah, Charlotte knows EXACTLY what it's missing, di****.

We can start with $100 million.

I think most of these morons want to bring out the Mississippi in North Carolina.

I think some of you should do a bit of research and see how much NC has lost due to this bigoted legislation.

Who said HB2 was bad for NC? See, there is already two good things good happened.

who gives a crap about the NBA or Charlotte. i certainly don't.

Obvious political pandering and over-the-top political correctness drives this lame decision. The soaring economy of NC won't miss a beat over losing a "game" no one cares about anyway. Charlotte will bear the brunt of the financial hit. But isn't that fitting, since Charlotte initiated this mess in the first place!

It's good to lose $100 million in revenue?


No, good riddiance to a bunch of *** hats who could care less about LGBT.Everyone with a brain knows these companies couldn't give 2 ****s less other then making a name for theselves and selling more products. I ain't fooled one min, why do you think everyone else got involved? It wasn't cause they suppored the gay rights movement, it's cause this a oppertunity to make more money and then toss it aside when it becomes the old. I'm for gay rights but I am not for a man coming into a bathroom or locker room.Either use the mens room or a transgender bathroom and if that's not good enough for yha then piss outside.What about the right of women and children? It's pretty bigot for you to enforce yourself as if your opinion only counts cause they're the manority who speaks yet when you try and accomidate them with a 3rd bathroom, all **** breaks lose and that's not good enough.
