Clinton praises NCAA for pulling out of events in NC
Hillary Clinton on Tuesday praised the National Collegiate Athletic Association’s (NCAA) decision to pull championship events from North Carolina over the state’s controversial bathroom law.
The Democratic presidential nominee tweeted that the NCAA made the “right” call, adding, “Discrimination has no place in America.”
The @NCAA is right to pull tournament games from North Carolina because of the anti-LGBT HB2 law. Discrimination has no place in America. -H

“Fairness is about more than the opportunity to participate in college sports, or even compete for championships,” NCAA President Mark Emmert said in a statement announcing the move.
