The NBA announced it will pull the 2017 All-Star Game out of
Charlotte, with the hope of returning the marquee midseason event to
the city two years later.
The league's move is in response to its objection to North Carolina
House Bill 2, a law that mandates people use public restrooms
corresponding to the sex listed on their birth certificates.
