NBA 2017 All-Star Game moves to New Orleans - CNN.com

Almost a month after deciding that the 2017 NBA All-Star Game would be moved out of Charlotte, North Carolina, due to the state's controversial transgender bathroom law, the league announced Friday that the game will be relocated to New Orleans.

It will be played February 19 at Smoothie King Center -- home of the New Orleans Pelicans. It will be the 66th NBA All-Star Game in league history and the third time it has been hosted by New Orleans.

Given all that is going in in Louisiana, this should hopefully provide a much needed boost.

Pretty much a done deal when then stripped Charlotte a month ago. Much needed boost to our economy. Should be a fun weekend during Mardi Gras.

Kinda sucks for Charlotte because the NC legislature's anti-LGBT law was prompted by Charlotte's pro-LGBT ordinance.

But, anyway, thanks for the bigotry, jackwagons! Now we'll enjoy hosting the game and y'all can have fun playing redneck grab-***.
