Good news for NOLA and LA. Considering the sh*t show that is Baton Rouge these days, we need all the good news we can get.

ETA: BR has handled itself tremendously, but the situation is out of control thanks to MSM and that psychopath cop killer.

discriminatory legislation targeting the state’s LGBT community


Hyperbole much?

Even more of a reason for me to hate the NBA.

Well NOLA is not the State and our last statewide election did not go the way of the R's........ So.

It's nice of the NBA to give NOLA another All-Star game before the Pelicans vacate the city

Isn't Las Vegas the other possibility? Never thought they would go back there after last time's debacle.

Something to note, Mardi Gras is February 28th next year so parades in NOLA will have already started.

This is big, Cons will vow to boycott the NBA, but with the NBA growing more and more this will definitely hurt North Carolina a little bit.

NOLA is still in this state

The NBA and all other people/businesses are stupid for getting involved with politics and the .001%

The NBA is bowing down to a group of mentally ill people that make up way less than 1% of the population or is it just how sick and PC this country has become? I hated the NBA before this and never watched their streetball so who gives a damn!

Earlier this week Duke lost a game over this which got Coach K pissed so it's not only the NBA that's backing out of this situation

Not saying I agree, but the NCAA is going to start doing this for post-season host sites and I'm sure the NFL will flex it's PC muscles too
