Discussion: NCAA Pulls Championships From North Carolina Over Anti-LGBT Law

Made famous by Maurice Bessinger’s Piggy Park, and the sauce was widely distributed until Bessinger’s hateful racism was exposed and publicized.

Now you can’t buy it outside the local market. It was good sauce.

I doubt this very much, and this is the key take away. This was and will continue to be about money.

The NCAA is all about money and they see this as a threat. How about they address the actual issues around college student athletes? Most people don’t realize that tons of these competitive sports programs aren’t actually graduating their student athletes at high rates. And sometimes a majority are not graduating.

There are many other problems like you site, but reforming these things would be costly to the institution and cushy jobs of the NCAA people.

Does anyone else here understand this is going to mean the end of NCAA women’s sports? If you can’t keep trans males out of the bathroom, you’re not going to be able to keep them off the girl’s cross-country, tennis, softball teams either. When you have biological males playing with women, who do you think are going to win the Title 9 scholarships to college now? We will end up with co-ed sports and women’s sports as we have known it will be gone. If you think this is nonsense, you haven’t read Obama’s memo he tossed out and then threatened any schools that didn’t comply. The “trans female” winner of gold in this year’s Olympics is a sign that this is being taken way too far.

That’s right, NCAA, grab NC by the short hairs and keep that grip until the bigots say uncle.

While I am quite certain that you could be more wrong, I cannot for the life of me imagine how you’d go about it.

Perhaps you should try a strong dose of reality, with which you seem completely unfamiliar.

Really, if it’s discrimination to keep them out of the bathroom, then it’s discrimination to keep them out of the locker rooms, showers, and sports teams. You’re really sounding like a bigot here if you disagree.

The overweening stupidity represented by your insensate comments is truly world-class.

Transgender people do not suddenly decide to change their gender and then suddenly decide to change it back.
Transgenderism is a medically recognized issue, and it NEVER involves any of the things you are fantasizing about.

So unless you want to remove all doubt—as if there is any left----about your lack of mental acuity and your overt prejudice, you need to shut the fuck up.
Now.

Pulling the NBA All-Star game is one thing. But when you cancel NCAA Basketball games in NC, you are making this an existential issue.
I applaud the NCAA for this, and hope the bigots who passed this law will pay dearly.

Okay, so if it never happens, wtf did I see at the Olympics? Talk about detached from reality.

I like their BBQ sauce. It’s not better or worse; just different.

You saw athletes competing.
And the detachment from reality is all yours, Snookums.

Face it—you’re a bigot.

Yep. Nasty racist. Good sauce. Although really only for pork.

Methinks that NC isn’t getting the message, is missing the point.

They can pee properly in Jesus’ name all that they like, they just can’t force their pee, poop and prude problems upon others and still profit.

They have chosen and this is the consequence. They, the NC goons, can not have their gender based cake and eat it too.

I saw a man win a woman’s race and women complained about it too. Perhaps you didn’t hear those comments. So, reality is slamming you in the face here. You can’t deny this is a threat to women’s sports. It’s already happening, but it’s clear you really don’t care. Agenda before people is how you roll.

No, you didn’t see that.

You saw a trans woman win that race.

This is only a threat to mentally deficient bigots----so since the shoe fits, wear it in good health.

Hi, I’m Pat McCrory. I’m against everything good about NC and for everything deplorable.

Now watch me coast to reelection.

With Trump at the top of the ticket.

“As reflected in long-standing University policy, UNC campuses do not
discriminate on the basis of sex, sexual orientation or gender identity,
and we are fully committed to being open and welcoming to individuals
of all backgrounds,” she said. “We remain caught in the middle of a
conflict between state law and federal guidance, and we welcome a speedy
resolution of these issues by the court.”

We’re only caught in the middle because we allowed Republicans to take over. I hate to lose opportunities like these but I’m glad the NBA and NCAA recognize that North Carolina no longer deserves them.

I read it all and it was really informative. I didn’t exactly know what cisgender meant before for example and the biggie, “it isn’t about the anatomy-it’s the hormones” really nailed it.
After a year of taking hormones, the male starts to lose muscle and bone density which evens the playing field.

There ya go, advantage removed.

How many teenage transgenders are taking hormones – almost none, and in fact it is not recommended at their age. There you go – facts destroy your argument.

Why isn’t it recommended?

You’ll eventually have to give it up but eking out one bit of info at a time is at least dragging out your argument.

And the Olympic body is against you, so your argument has already lost and on the international stage.
Your personal opinions are not medal winners, get it?
