CFA is not depending on filling arenas 90% of nights , as arenas have giant fixed costs.
Did you not see thealready HYPOCRITICAL acts committed by the NBA and Bruce Springsteen?

Why isn't the NBA, Bruce Springsteen, etc., boycotting PA? There has ALREADY been a negative consequence forced upon a trans person for using the opposite sex's facilities.

When the person's genitalia is exposed in multiple occupancy facilities in which various stages of undress is normal and expected (changing rooms, locker rooms, shower rooms, etc.), it becomes obvious. At that point, arrest the person with opposite sex genitalia and charge them with indecent exposure. Charge them with FELONY indecent exposure when it happens on school grounds and/or if minors are present. In either case, force them to register as the sex offenders they are everywhere they live, for life.
I have news for you... Pre-op transgender people don't use open areas in multiple occupancy facilities. Why would they want to? Their entire goal is to fit in with their adopted gender so they use the private changing rooms. You've probably shared one of these spaces with at least one already.
Lol, sure. We'll remember that when a Buck Angel walks into the bathroom you & your daughter are using & the world hears your cries of outrage. But hey, this is what you asked for, I look forward to your back pedaling.
Buck Angel and yourself know darn well he can get away with using the men's room. I love how you trivialize women and girls' "cries of outrage" but not the cries of outrage from trans people choosing not to get sex reassignment surgery then expecting the world to turn upside down for them.
Nothing wrong with his actions. It is his decision to decide if he feels
dumb laws violate his principles, as was the case here. Like Indiana and Az, NC will cave in.
Wait wait wait...
... didn't we have a case over a wedding cake? How can he discriminate based on belief? Why isn't he stopping NY concerts? Ohh right, he agrees with that discrimination.
Here are the states the NBA needs to avoid, if they really stand by the position they "claim" to have on this:
33 States DON'T have laws that protect against gender identity discrimination. And 28 of these states have NO laws protecting LGBTs at all.
Alabama
Alaska
Arizona
Arkansas
Florida
Georgia
Idaho
Indiana
Kansas
Kentucky
Louisiana
Massachusetts
Michigan
Mississippi
Missouri
Montana
Nebraska
New Hampshire
New York
North Carolina
North Dakota
Ohio
Oklahoma Pennsylvania
South Carolina
South Dakota
Tennessee
Texas
Utah
Virginia
West Virginia
Wisconsin
Wyoming
List updated March 24, 2016. NPR cites the Movement Advancement Project, the ACLU, and the National Conference of State Legislatures as their sources for this info.
And, of course, the Federal Government itself does NOT list sexual orientation or gender identity as a protected class.
So, the NBA would actually have to boycottthe entire U.S. if they truly support the position they've taken on this issue.
You are posting a simplistic and uninformed opinion.
Let me tell you about my state, Pennsylvania, for example.
It is true that we do not have a state-wide law that protects LGBT citizens and yet over half of the LGBT residents of the Keystone State are covered by anti-discrimination laws. That's because all of the populous cities and counties - like Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton, Scranton, Erie, Montgomery County, Bucks County, etc. etc. - have local anti-discrimination laws. Statewide, all state employees are covered by executive order against anti-LGBT discrimination.
Now, North Carolina had a few places - like Charlotte and Chapel Hill - that also had local municipal laws that protected LGBT citizens ... but HB2 abolished those protections by forbidding cities and counties implementing local non-discrimination policies. Can you see why so many people are angry at the yahoo politicians in Raleigh?

Its the clowns in Bubbaville, NC rural spots (love Huckabee's accurate term) who are trying to deny Charlotte and Chapel Hill SELF-rule. Funny how those Bubbas love Big Government over local at certain times. Hypocrites!
Springsteen is trash, just like those defending his bigotry.
