ACC to relocate *some Championship games from North Carolina

[Tad Footeball]

Sadly, I'm for anything that moves the focus of the ACC out of the Carolinas.....even if it's a pc based overreaction by corporate America.

What a joke. God forbid a state legislature passes a law more than 90 percent of its residents approve.

Because 90 percent of the residents dont approve. Maybe 90 percent of the residents west of bumble fok Weaverville or something.

Maybe in the trailer parks and boonies of NC

This is madness.

NCAA can take action as they like...but they forget...

so too can certain (i.e. Southern and Soutwest) Attorneys General.

NCAA better be careful poking the bear with their "admin law" social engineering attempts.

I wouldn't call people who are scared of bathrooms "bears"

I wouldn't call anyone who thinks its a good idea to have a male in the little girl's bathroom, transgender and innocent or not, sane.

Don't take my comment as being anti-TG...keep on keepn on...you go RuPaul...

Our society, no society that I can think of, is ready for this step. This isnt even practiced in the 3rd world where communal existences are far more prevalent.

The NCAA is playing a dangerous game circumventing the will of voters, through elected officials right/wrong/other, and at some point lawmakers might just push back.

Aside from that, I think the movement is toward unisex bathrooms. Feel bad for women who have to deal with **** puddles on the floor.

In all the time before the law was passed, has there ever been an incident anywhere in the U.S. where a transgendered person assaulted a child in the opposite *** bathroom? Just honestly wondering about the actual statistics that would justify the law? Personally, I would be less bothered by a chick who looked like a dude popping a squat in the stall next to me than if a dude who dressed like a lady wandered in the door. Unless you are going to have someone doing a crotch grab inspection before allowing a person to enter the bathroom, absent any statistics showing an actual danger to children, the law is discriminatory, silly, and totally unenforceable.

Nobody has ever stated that transgenders commit sexual assault. The people that are concerned are concerned because this makes it easier for the wrong people to get access. Yes, they could gain access either way. But with gender fluidity and death of gender roles this makes it very easy for the wrong people to get access. It's a valid concern but there are extremists on both sides.

I say if you are living as the other gender use whatever you want. However, if you just "relate" as a female but still walk as a man you need to use the men's room.

So if a lady (actual biological female) just happens to be really ugly and kinda looks like a dude wearing slacks , someone should be able to call the police, and police should be able to ask the lady to prove that she is actually female to make sure she didn't break the law. This is the problem when you pass a law based on a person's appearance rather than actual suspicious activity. I have a much bigger concern about a male pedophile who looks like a male in a male bathroom preying on kids than some ridiculous made-up fear of cross dressing bogeymen. Anyways, ACC is in business of making money. It thinks it will lose sponsors and get a national headache from having championships in NC. NC can pass all the legislation it wants, they have to deal with consequences of businesses not liking it. That's capitalism, baby!

How is this thread related to UM football? Shouldn't this be in the WEZ?
I thought the mods job was to remove threads that dilute/pollute the football forum? Am'I missing something here?

Its related to the ACC.

Perhaps the ACC should mandate that Duke, Wake, UNC and NC State play all road games.

men ****ing next to little girls. america thinks its fine.

 

[Canedude08]

A lot of those residents(and their grandparents/parents) supported Jim Crow legislation, still didn't make it right. I can't wrap my mind around transgenders, but that doesn't mean they should be treated differently in the eyes of the law. Just an FYI, the "There's going to be some kind of freak in the bathroom stall next to my daughter" argument is flawed as ****. You realize that most child molesters are allegedly straight, or normal, right? Jerry Sandusky was married, same with John Wayne Gacy.

So you actuallly believe a sign on the door or a bathroom law will stop someone with malicious intent?

...Aside from that, I think the movement is toward unisex bathrooms...

Agreed. I too believe this is the likely compromise solution. Unisex/family style bathroom designations for all facilities.

Things are looking up fellas, we finally get a couch.

All bathroom laws are discriminatory. When one door has a picture of a stick figure in a dress and says "Women" and the other door has a picture of a stick figure without a dress and says "Men," that is a discriminatory regulation. But nobody has ever argued that the government doesn't have an interest in having those two doors. And what's odd, people still aren't arguing that. The NCAA and ACC aren't saying that North Carolina must get rid of the "Men-Women" discriminatory policy towards bathrooms. It's saying that North Carolina just has the wrong definition of what constitutes a man and woman.
In the end this has nothing to do with a fear of transgenderism. Nobody is worried about a biological woman going into the Men's room and hurting men or peeping in on men. It's all about a fear of men. What men will do when you now grant them access to the women's bathroom and women's locker room. And the government's interest (which has always been seen as legit and nobody even today is challenging that interest) in protecting women in intimate areas where they are vulnerable. Perhaps stick figures on doors will not prevent those that are **** bent on going into the women's shower. But so what? That still hasn't ever prevented us from being allowed to have those stick figures on the doors. And if the government has to account for gender, it makes carrying out that government interest impossible.

 

[Tad Footeball]

There's only one person to blame for this whole mess anyway. "I'm going to use the bathroom of my choice, bay-beeeee!"

0.08% of the population. Dumb law and even dumber outrage over the whole situation. Gender dysphoria is a mental disease that needs treatment not appeasement. No one in NC is talking about this off of Facebook.

Bigotry is bigotry. Good on the NCAA & the ACC for standing up for those who are being actively discriminated against.

God forbid organizations boycott backward governmental actions in the manner they see fit.

lol @ it being bigotry. "Yes you can discriminate based on *** as it concerns the bathroom. But you must first ask how they feel on the inside." Honestly, that's about as dumb an idea as I've ever heard.
