Wow, I wonder what the "losses" will be over 100 years? A really really big number I bet.
Some people would say that losing an NBA all star game is a net plus for a state that does not idolize rap thugs, hookers and drug dealers and the inevitable violence they bring.
The money that was not blown on a concert by some over the hill phony like Springsteen was not just burned. It was likely spent elsewhere.
I fault the state for taking this kind of intimidation and not fighting back. If the ACC wants to penalize NC, which is where the conference was founded and which supported it for decades, I say fine. Pull the state schools out of it and levy crippling taxes on the conference. Same for the NBA. Or maybe cancel the MLK holiday.
I have little interest in the actual law. What infuriates me however is out of state financial interests trying to dictate the state's laws. Isn't that subverting democracy a lot worse than any russian hacking?
My principles are not for sale or negotiable by threats from bullies.
