NBA et match des étoiles 2017: devrait-on bouder la Caroline du Nord?

Les retombées économiques du match des étoiles de la NBA sont intéressantes et six sénateurs croient qu'en raison de la nouvelle législation HB2 la ligue devrait songer à déménager l'édition hors de la Caroline du Nord. Il s'agit de la même loi qui a poussé Bruce Springsteen a annulé son concert.

 "“We hold no ill-will towards the people of Charlotte, who passed an antidiscrimination measure that HB2 overturned, or towards the people of North Carolina,” the senators wrote in the letter. “However, we cannot condone nor stand idly by as North Carolina moves to legalize and institutionalize discrimination against the LGBT community. Nor should the NBA allow its premier annual event to be hosted in such a state.”

Senate Democrats who signed onto the letter are Jeff Merkley of Oregon, Patrick Leahy of Vermont, Cory Booker of New Jersey, Patty Murray of Washington and Tammy Baldwin, the first openly gay lawmaker elected to the Senate. Moderate Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.), one of four Senate Republicans who supports gay marriage, also endorsed the letter."
