Bring Your Balls Back To NC

3.5 Billion dollars, that is what it is estimated was lost in revenue to the state of North Carolina over the “bathroom bill” HB2. It was a discriminatory ridiculous law that singled out transgendered people trying to just do what is necessary, use the bathroom. One stupid governor staked his career on it and now says he can’t find a job after he was voted out of office. Seems like all the politicians in Raleigh who voted for this stupid bill need to have the same fate befall on them.
Citizens protested, and the small minded politicians did nothing. Concerts were cancelled, they did nothing. Businesses that were planning on relocating or expanding operations in North Carolina and they did nothing. The NBA all-star basketball game was pulled from Charlotte and they did nothing. Then the NCAA said they were not going to schedule any basketball tournaments in North Carolina for the next seven years, and they caved.
Strange bed fellows, college basketball and transgendered people. But thanks to the NCAA for finally putting a deadline that those small minded politicians wouldn’t ignore. The repeal of HB2 is not exactly a repeal, but a compromise. There is still discrimination in the bill but not in the bathroom. Improvements can be made, but it is going to take changing many of those legislators to do it.  
If you live in NC and you don’t care about the rights of transgendered people just think about the 3.5 billions dollars that was lost as well as what used to be the stellar reputation of a once progressive state. The cost of that reputation is way more than many billions of dollars.  

The big orange balls might be back in North Carolina but it is time to drive all the politicians and their little balls back out of Raliegh like we did to Governor Mc Croy.
