Heh. Atlanta is now lobbying the NBA to move its 2017 All Star Game from Charlotte to Atlanta, as a result of the recent legislation in both states.

The measure, supported by Council President Ceasar Mitchell and Finance Executive Committee Chairman Alex Wan, invites the NBA to consider relocating the 2017 NBA All-Star Weekend due to the passage of House Bill 2, a measure that discriminates against members of the LGBT community.

“Atlanta is a vibrant, energetic city that would be an outstanding host to the 2017 NBA All-Star Weekend,” said Chairman Dickens. “As the home to the civil and human rights movement, our diverse set of people and businesses welcome this global event with open arms.”

They are trying to overturn the veto. Might want to wait there mayor, and see if your governor is overturned first. -- nm - Bacon Mar 29, 16:19 1
