The whole point of the NCAA putting SC in Greenville was they wanted to gin up backlash against HB2 by sports fans in NC. they could have easily put SC in another region, or Duke for that matter.
Roy Williams never tells us what is wrong with HB2.

it is also not true that the state of NC was hurt economically by the tournament moving out. that is Democrat partisan spin.

How could it not have hurt them economically? That's a lot of money spent in another state.

'Economic indicators released for 2016 show that the boycott has failed to derail North Carolina as a regional and national powerhouse, despite the loss of high-profile performances and sporting events in response to House Bill 2, signed March 23 by then-Gov. Pat McCrory.
Tourism has thrived: Hotel occupancy, room rates and demand for rooms set records in 2016, according to the year-end hotel lodging report issued last week by VisitNC, part of the Economic Development Partnership of North Carolina.'

Washington Times must be an extreme right-wing paper; certainly not to be confused with the Washington Post.
Moving the ACC football championship cost the owners of hotels and bars and the employees about $10 M, per most estimates.
Right away, HB2 cost Charlotte 1100 good-paying jobs that were gladly taken by Phoenix and Richmond. And it's continuing to happen as Charlotte gets dropped from lists of potential sites for business expansions. A big developer in C

washington post is for extreme leftists. you not mainstream if you think men should be allowed into female restrooms and locker room. you are out there.
the facts don't back you up. NC is doing great economically and the reason is Republican economic policies which leftwingers like you oppose, like lower taxes, right to work, ,etc. NC would still be all agricultural if Democrats had remained in power there.
Target has beeing losing money like crazy since they went with a transgendered bathroom policy.

The problem with HB2 is not the bathroom part. That's only a minor (almost insignificant) effect of the bill, that has been used as a right-wing bullhorn.
You should read the bill.
AND, while NC is still doing well, currently, the property developers are out dealing with businesses that will make decisions about what will happen after several years.
You don't know what you're talking about.

you leftwingers live in a bubble.
fact is you support the bathroom part of it, but don't have the confidence to admit that because even you know it is crazy.

HB2 was in response to an illegal Charlotte ordinance which mandated that private businesses allow men who identify as female to use female bathrooms. HB2 overturned that.
to say it has nothing to do with bathrooms is so dishonest. lol it is the whole reason HB2 was passed.

A big, local developer recently called a meeting of other developers to express his MAJOR concerns that Charlotte, and his company, was being dropped from potential business sites. The Yahoos from the sticks of NC that pushed HB2 through don't care what happens in the cities of NC as their areas don't share in the growth of NC. (Over the last 20 years, more than half of the population growth has occurred in the Raleigh and Charlotte areas.) I graduated from CU and have lived in Charlotte for 45 years. Most people in Charlotte are worried about the long-term effects of HB2.
If there's a newspaper from Washington saying otherwise, they are wrong or lying.

it's not true most GOP voters live in the sticks. lol most live in the burbs of the major metroes in NC. you leftwingers love to paint GOP voters as uneducated but most poor people vote Democrat.
when the south was really poor and backward back in the day, Democrats owned it. FDR got 98 percent of the vote in SC in 1932.
