quote:

HB2 forbids state courts from hearing any discrimination claims at all.

So, if you get fired because you are black, white, Hispanic, Asian, female, male, whatever – you have to hire a federal lawyer and go to federal court.

So, if your wife gets paid $9 an hour to do a job a guy with 2 years less experience got paid $20, you have to hire a federal lawyer and go to federal court.


Pretty sure this isn't true.

In July they repealed that portion of the law. But you can still be fired over your sexual orientation or gender identity and you can't sue.

But when the DOJ said wait a minute, they dropped the workplace discrimination based on race, religion, and age REAL QUICK.

Regardless, it's still a bullshite law that wasn't necessary in the first place.

My issue with it all is the hypocrisy of the ACC. Will they now move their entire headquarters out of North Carolina? Of course they won't. Will they stop taking in money from sporting events held at UNC, Duke, Wake, and State? Of course they won't.

Also hoping all of the people who have bought tickets (including myself) to the ACC Championship game are given the option for a refund at the very least. Pretty sure the vast majority of tickets have been bought up by UNC/Clemson fans and now with the site most likely moving to Florida or New York, many of these fans might not be able to travel now if their teams make it.

Greensboro was selected as a host site for the 2017 Men's NCAA Tournament, but it has since been removed, due to HB2.

Any word on potential sites to replace it? New Orleans would be cool, but the Pelicans have home games that conflict with the scheduled dates.
