Charles Barkley echoed Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski’s stance against North Carolina’s HB2 “bathroom bill.”

Barkley, working CBS’s NCAA tournament coverage on Thursday, took a moment between games to share his thoughts on the controversial law that discriminates against LGBT people by specifying they must use the bathroom that corresponds to the gender on their birth certificate

Krzyzewski had spoken on the matter earlier in the day Thursday, with Duke playing in Greenville, S.C. — a first-round site that was originally meant to be Greensboro, N.C. before the NCAA decided to move the games due to HB2.
