This, breaking today from the NCAA to all city leaders across the nation:
NCAA vote: No Final Fours in cities
without anti-discrimination laws
The organization's Board of Governors, at its quarterly meeting in Indianapolis, adopted a new requirement for sites hosting or bidding on NCAA events in all divisions -- from Final Fours to educational conferences.
Those host cities must "demonstrate how they will provide an environment that is safe, healthy and free of discrimination, plus safeguards the dignity of everyone involved in the event," the NCAA said.
So there you are, folks. If you like discriminating against yet one more group---it used to be Jews, then the Irish, then blacks, now it's the LGBTQ community--the tide, the world, is turning against you.
It reminds me of the quote from Martin Luther King, Jr.
"The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice."
