NBA could pull the 2023 All-Star Game from SLC over Utah's controversial transgender bill
House Bill 11 would ban transgender children in Utah from participating in school sports. Gov. Spencer Cox vetoed the bill Tuesday, but lawmakers have called for a special session Friday to override the veto.
In a similar move, Major League Baseball pulled its All-Star Game from Atlanta last season after Georgia passed a controversial restrictive voting law. In a tweet Wednesday, Jazz owner Ryan Smith wrote that the transgender bill was"rushed, flawed, and won’t hold up over time," adding that"we need to love these kids."
