The NCAA announced on Sept. 12 that seven of its championships will no longer be held in North Carolina due to the state’s controversial “anti-gay” bathroom laws. Two days later, the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) announced it would move its conference championships out of North Carolina for the same reason.
North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory is upset over those decisions. McCrory said the NCAA and ACC are abusing their influence over consumers, according to ABC News.
“American families should be on notice that the selective corporate elite are imposing their political will on communities in which they do business, bypassing the democratic and legal process,” said McCrory in an ABC News article posted online.
