These calls to boycott Utah will pick up steam in the coming months, writes ZacharyFaria. Republican states 'must be resolute in their opposition to the anti-science insanity that is being pushed on sports and other areas of life.'
The idea of stripping Utah of the 2023 NBA All-Star Game is already being floated after legislators voted to override GOP Gov. Spencer Cox’s veto of a bill that would prevent men from competing in women’s sports. The Salt Lake Tribune has already reached out to the NBA to kick the tires on the idea, and the outlet also sent “multiple inquiries” to the NCAA to kick-start the pressure campaign. .
The tactic has since moved from easy fights, such as rebel flags and ill-thought-out bathroom legislation, to partisan Democratic battles. President Joe Biden launched a pressure campaign against Major League Baseball, urging the league to move its All-Star Weekend out of Georgia over the state’s voting law. The league folded, doing the bidding of the Democratic Party and moving the game to Democratic-run Colorado. Republicans in Georgia, however, stood strong.
