NBA pulls All-Star Game from Charlotte over transgender law: report

(Reuters) - The NBA has canceled plans to hold its 2017 All-Star Game in Charlotte over a North Carolina state law decried as discriminatory against the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community, according to a report on Thursday.

The NBA is focused on moving the midseason showcase to New Orleans but other cities are still trying to lure the game, according to a report on Yahoo.
