Editorial: HB2 folly sends fans, NC jobs and millions to other states

This weekend North Carolina is boosting the economies of Florida and California.

The ACC football championship, which was supposed to be played in Charlotte, is being hosted by Orlando. $32 MILLION. Cha-ching!

The NCAA Division 1 Women’s Soccer Championship (featuring the UNC Tar Heels), was supposed to be in Cary. Instead of playing in front of a home-state crowd, the Heels are at the championships on the west coast, in San Jose. $4 MILLION. Cha-ching!

North Carolina-based vendors, merchants, restaurants, motels – all that just a few months ago were anticipating a big-business weekend – are quiet and struggling. The reason is House Bill 2.

No one understands it better than Hill Carrow, CEO of Sports & Properties Inc., a sports and entertainment marketing and development firm. He founded the State Games of North Carolina, the Triangle Sports Commission and the N.C. Sports Association. If he didn’t invent sports tourism, he coined the term.

In a single day in March, Gov. Pat McCrory and the General Assembly brought all that to a screeching halt. HB2 has jeopardized what Carrow, who works with many groups organizing sporting events including Capitol Broadcasting Company, has spent more than 30 years building.

I am forwarding a copy of the editorial to McCrory's office with a one word comment, CONCEDE!

It's no wonder that enough North Carolina Republicans--who voted for Trump--crossed over to vote for Cooper.
