NCAA announces it will move championship events out of North Carolina for 2016-2017

[Steat]

Since the reason it is being moved is political perhaps this should be moved to the other topics board?

On the other hand, if we can keep the discussion to how this will effect a #1or #2 seed for the Heels it may survive a discussion on this board. For example, where would the games be held if they are moved. Columbia, SC?

reason is political, however in the history of UNC championship teams..the trend has been winning ACC tournament then winning those first/second round games in North Carolina..of course playing up to potential winning can happen anywhere...I do not trust the NCAA/worst case scenario is temporary ban on championship participation period

While I do consider this a worthy topic for this board I do wish the world of sports and the world of making political statements could not have to mix. This is great example just as the current fad of protesting during the national anthem has become prior to sporting events. Sports is where we go to get away from the reality of day to day life, from the real world so to speak. I wish the powers that be could respect that.

We gotta keep perverts outta the ladies room doncha know.

 

[Green C14]

I'm for anything that makes Dook play an away game.
As for how this affects us, it will have to wait until March to see if we earn a #1 seed. Anything less than that gives the committee an excuse to send us out to Bumfook for the first two rounds.

Green, they will just move the dukies to MSG so they can play a home away from home game...

They will have to put a drainage hole in the bottom of his coffin. I'll bet the run off is black with shoe polish.

The LOM doesn't sweat. That pasty blood-sucking bastage has been dead for about 30 years.

I have no doubt whatsoever which side Dean Smith would be on in this debate.

Stick to the sports. No anthems, no prayers, no politics, just sports.

that's what I have been trying to tell people when they talk about him retiring.

The NCAA doesn't need to be playing politics. I would have lost respect for them over this but I didn't have any.

 

[soap - new and improved]

Some folks should perhaps sue the NCAA over this.

Welp. Two bottom lines here.
1. It hurts UNC
2. There are sometimes consequences to wing-nuttery

I wonder how many hundreds of millions it takes for folks to wake up and take our state back.

I like what David said, sports was my escape too, played every sport each season growing up, fall/football, winter/basketball and soccer, spring/baseball and eventually went full time to soccer. So by college I was a soccer player and had a great time in working with my team, in travel, and even tough pre-season practices. We wanted to win and represent ourselves, the team and University well. Playing my sport, enjoying others in their selected sports, enjoying campus, food, friends...it all seems so innocent, almost naïve, now.

Who gives a crap if a trannie wants to urinate in their preferred bathroom. If you need help deciding, look down at you plumbing. I think it's stupid that this is even an issue. I think it's even more ignorant that so many people feel the need to come to those poor abused trannoes who have been subjected to peeing in their own genders bathroom. Politics and political correctness is destroying this country. I mean, what percentage of the country's population does this even affect? Can't be no more than 1℅

That would be interesting. Won't surprise me if it happens. Probably some contracts will be broken. I wonder if the NCAA has the appropriate opt-outs or will they just pay penalties or what?

 

[UNC&ME]

sports will always be included with the events of society..did not DES recruit/and stand by Charlie Scott..it was the right course of action..I grew up in N.C...same time 1967 Olympics John Carlos stood during national anthem with raised fist..politics/sports is bad mix...same as big money and corporations and sports

Grayhead the problem is within that "1%" and unfortunately our country has decided to cower down. I live in bama now, but grew up in Swannanoa, NC and I'm dang proud of my home state!!! God Bless

it's all about playing the victim.

 

[al would]

It's gotten to the point where there is no longer a democracy or a Constitutional Representative Republic in this country. In the name of the globalist agenda we have been led (brainwashed) by a co-opted and globalist owned corporate laviathon media to believe that what is perfectly normal is no longer normal and that is total BS. I'm with WWJD in that dispensing with the anthems, politics and prayers in all sports may not be a bad thing. jmho
