THE MORNING RANT: After Moving All-Star Game from Charlotte in Solidarity with LGBTQ, NBA Opens 2024 Season in Abu Dhabi, where Homosexuality is a Crime

The new NBA season kicked off with an exhibition game last week in the United Arab Emirates.

“Celtics beat the Nuggets 107-103 in the NBA’s preseason opener at Abu Dhabi” [AP – 10/04/2024]

Like many sports leagues, the NBA seeks to increase its revenue by expanding its global following. For the UAE, being awarded the NBA season opener affirms the country’s stature and importance.

Of note, homosexuality is a crime in the United Arab Emirates, with allowable punishment including the death penalty. Transgender cross-dressing is also a crime.

Also of note, the NBA has established the precedent that it either condones or condemns a location’s criminal code regarding sexual behaviors by how the league awards – or revokes - featured exhibition games. By awarding the season-opening exhibition game to Abu Dhabi, the NBA has endorsed the UAE’s brutal criminalization of LGBTQ behavior.

The NBA’s apparent endorsement of criminalizing homosexuality in the Arab world would seem puzzling, because just a few years ago, the NBA revoked the NBA All-Star game from the city of Charlotte after the North Carolina legislature passed legislation banning biological men from entering women’s restrooms and locker rooms.

While it may be entirely consistent for the NBA to oppose homosexuality while still endorsing the right of men to terrorize women in restrooms and changing facilities, the reason given by NBA Commissioner Adam Silver for yanking the All-Star Game from Charlotte was that it discriminated against LGBTQ people.

“NBA moving 2017 All-Star Game from Charlotte due to anti-LGBT bill” [USA Today – 7/21/2016]

In an unprecedented and monumental decision, the NBA will move the 2017 All-Star Game from Charlotte, N.C. to another state because of North Carolina’s controversial anti-LGBT law called House Bill 2.
“While we recognize that the NBA cannot choose the law in every city, state, and country in which we do business, we do not believe we can successfully host our All-Star festivities in Charlotte in the climate created by HB2,” the league said in a statement.

What was “the climate” of House Bill 2? This is from a 2016 article at The Federalist titled The Truth About North Carolina’s Bathroom Bill:

This section of HB2 simply and justly states that persons must use the bathroom and locker room that identifies with the gender on their birth certificates. It also states that municipalities requiring different sexes to share public accommodations is inconsistent with North Carolina’s law and constitution.

How hateful! This law prohibited a man in North Carolina from strolling into a women’s restroom and conscripting unsuspecting women into his fetish. Meanwhile in the UAE, this is from the Human Dignity Trust’s website:

Same-sex sexual activity is prohibited under the Criminal Codes of the Emirates of Abu Dhabi, which criminalises ‘unnatural sex with another person’, and Dubai, which criminalises acts of ‘sodomy’. The Federal Penal Code criminalises ‘voluntary debasement’, but it is not clear what acts this covers. These provisions carry a maximum penalty of fourteen years’ imprisonment. Both men and women are criminalised under the law. Same-sex sexual activity may also be penalised under Sharia law, under which the death penalty is possible, though there is no evidence that this has been used against LGBT people.
In addition to potentially being captured by laws that criminalise same-sex activity, trans people may also face prosecution under the Federal Penal Code 1987, which criminalises a ‘male disguising as a female’ with a maximum penalty of one year imprisonment and a fine.

May I also mention that the NBA, which advocates for allowing men into women’s restrooms, has had a problem with its players getting arrested for sex crimes?

“Ex-Trail Blazer Ben McLemore faces rape charge, other counts” [ESPN – 4/10/2024]

Former NBA guard Ben McLemore was arrested by U.S. Marshals on Tuesday and jailed in Oregon, where he faces sex crime charges stemming from allegations that he sexually assaulted a woman in 2021 when he was playing for the Portland Trail Blazers.

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver advocates for allowing sexual predators like NBA player Ben McLemore into women’s restrooms so long as they are willing to state they are LGBTQ.

“Ex-NBA player faces charges over sex act with 13-year-old girl” [WPLG Local 10 – 11/02/20018]

There was a time when Luis David Montero-Carrasco had a promising career in the NBA. He played for the Miami Heat, the Detroit Pistons and the Portland Trail Blazers. It is likely that he won't be playing professionally anytime soon. A meeting at the Best Western Hotel at 131 Fairway Dr., in Miami Springs, with a 13-year-old girl is now part of the 25-year-old basketball player's criminal record.

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver advocates for allowing sexual predators like NBA player Luis David Montero-Carrasco into women’s restrooms so long as they are willing to state they are LGBTQ.

The good news is that normal Americans are repulsed by what Adam Silver and the NBA are promoting. As Outkick has documented, NBA ratings have plummeted since the NBA went woke, losing 45% of its audience since 2012.

74 Potentially good news, for a change, on a related note. Not too long ago, as I recall, a Morning Rant was about Toyota being a woke/DEI nightmare. Advocate.com (an LGBTQ propaganda site) didn't say anything about the NBA backstabbing them, but they DID have a cry over Toyota...

Toyota faces backlash for pulling support of LGBTQ+ causes. Plus, learn more about Robby Starbuck: the conservative activist targeting companies to drop their support of LGBTQ+ events and DEI efforts.

Toyota is the latest company to seemingly backtrack on its support of LGBTQ+ causes, Pride Month, and overall DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) initiatives in an attempt to soothe its conservative customers.

a new internal memo obtained by Bloomberg shows that the Toyota Motor Corporation is reportedly set to "halt sponsorship of LGBTQ+ events" and will also "end [its] participation in notable rankings by LGBTQ+ advocacy group the Human Rights Campaign and other corporate culture surveys."

...cites diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs along the same lines as LGBTQ+ events...will now sponsor STEM programs while it scales back on funding DEI initiatives.

So now the College has to pick the people to carry out this clown show they call re-education, and they're balking. Of course they are, they have no-one, they never thought it would get this far and they thought they could cow this man and make him bend the knee. Nope.

And he's insisting on making the whole process public.

The inside scoop:

The germaphobes create the problem. They don't want to sit directly on the seat. Best case scenario: they put TP all around as a barrier, which creates a wicking effect when one end falls into toilet and TP on floor. Worst case scenario: they miss the toilet when squatting and urinate/defecate on the seat and floor.

175 Lol...someone trolled Colorado's Governor hard.

Colorado officials apologize after Gays Against Groomers falsely claims Gov. Jared Polis (who is gay) supports extremists. On Monday evening, Gays Against Groomers posted on X, “Gays Against Groomers would like to thank Colorado Governor @jaredpolis for his public recognition for our hard work in protecting children across the state. It means so much to us. We are just getting started!”

Accompanying the post was an image of what appeared to be an official state document bearing the Colorado seal and claiming that Polis had flown a flag over the Capitol in their honor. The document read, “This accompanying Colorado State Flag was flown at the Colorado State Capitol Building on October 1st, 2024, by authorization of Governor Jared Polis in honor of Gays Against Groomers. The people of Colorado present this flag to Gays Against Groomers with thanks and recognition for all their work to protect children.”

The controversy stems from Gays Against Groomers’ use of Colorado’s Ceremonial Flag program...Within 90 minutes of The Advocate reaching out to the DPA for comment, the Ceremonial Flag request program webpage was taken down.

The odd/interesting/incredible thing about these accusations is while maybe 10% is actually true, the parties actually believe maybe 40% of it. They so hate and despise and distrust each other that they will believe the absolute worse of every situation. Even mostly mundane events and actions take on a sinister tone.

232 this is video of Clark being stabbed in the eye by the long fingernails of her attacker. First was a wave at the ball, then she turns her fingernails down and stabs directly at Clark's eye. She did get suspended, but should have been charged.

Posted by: I used to have a different nic at October 11, 2024 11:54 AM (IUd0M)

I have. Soccer, as played in pro leagues, is pretty damned dumb, too. Too few scoring opportunities = boring. But you don't have the weird bias in favor of tall stringbeans like roundball does.

I won't watch either game on TV.

More work. England/UK is a compact country, their TV series are set up around short seasons ,6-10 episodes typically, and they have an active supported live theater with taxpayer supported movies studios like Pinewood. All of this is concentrated within a couple of hours from a London base.

UK also supported (dunno about now) education in the arts as a public venture with its Royal Academies distributed throughout the UK rather than the expensive private schools in the US for it like Julliard or expensive university based programs like the USC Film School.

Part of the reason our arts scene in the US is so leftist is that you have to have substantial family wealth to break into that scene now. Twas not always so but it is today.
