Well he can thank the NC government for trying to tell him where to go to the bathroom. This is no different than if NC decided to raise taxes. This is the market's response to government intervention. Legislation has consequences.



Unfortunately, it's not consumers controlling this trend. The ideological decisions are being made at the top, not the bottom. People would still come see Katy Perry if she played in Charlotte. She'd deal with no ramifications whatsoever, even with a little bad press. Same for the NCAA.

While I disagree with the law, the NCAA's reaction is typical irrational political correctness, not some natural market response (although increasingly, the "market" is dictated by ideological decisions of producers).

If people got accurate information about Chickfila activities and declined to eat there, that would be a genuine outcome. This is liberal institutional bias masquerading behind fears of an adverse response from consumers which would never come to fruition.

Nailed it. Some administrator who is either trying to make a political point or avoid a mild PR hassle isn't indicative of "the market."
