North Carolina slices off nose to save face

The North Carolina visage is missing its most prominent feature today after refusing to rescind the state's anti transgender bathroom bill, HB 2. In response the NBA pulled the 2017 All Star Game from Charlotte, home of His Airness's Hornets, saying:
"While we recognize the NBA cannot choose the law in every city, state and country in which we do business, we do not believe we can do host our All Star festivities in Charlotte in the climate created by the current law."

North Carolina Pat McCrory, officiating at the nose slicing ceremony after conservative legislators refused to overturn their transgederphobic law, proclaimed:
"The sports and entertainment elite misrepresented our law and maligned the people of North Carolina simply because most (NC) people believe boys and girls should be able to use bathrooms, lockers and showers without the opposite sex present."

The economic impact of this most recent cash cow to mosey out of North Carolina has reached a staggering $100 million. Yet, not a single incidence of wrongdoing by a transgender, or someone masquerading as a transgender, to gain access to a girls bathroom to commit mayhem, was ever offered to justify such an economically devastating and self humiliating legislative action.

Besides its nose, decent folks in North Carolina are still on the search for the state brain.
