The National Basketball Association announced Thursday that it will move the 2017 all-star game out of North Carolina, in response to a controversial bathroom bill the state passed earlier this year.
"While we recognize that the NBA cannot choose the law in every city, state and country in which we do business, we do not believe we can successfully host our All-Star festivities in Charlotte in the Climate created by HB2," the NBA announced in a statement.
