Soooo......


I don't follow college baseball too closely but am I right in asuming that ODU needs to win at a pretty good clip here on out to get an at large? We have no bad losses but a lot of our good wins have slipped out of the top 50.

The bill that allows business owners to deny services to people who have premarital sex? :wingedeagle: Mississippi doesn't feel like it's far enough behind the rest of the United States, it's trying to get back to the Middle Ages.

It would be incredibly unfortunate for the players though if the NCAA decides to hold this against them.

So the answer is no, you haven't read the law. Thanks for playing.

No point in wasting my time reading a law that will be repealed. http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2...l-into-law

Luckily there are organizations that report on these things so I don't have to read an entire law! See that part about no extramarital sex.

What you said: "The liberal media tells me these things, so why should I actually read it myself?"

Are you saying that's not in the law or are you just trying to be argumentative? I'd find a conservative source if you like.

I stand by my position that the NCAA should realize that it's only punishing the kids by doing this. They have bigger issued to worry about like UNC getting punished and looking into the mess in Baylor's athletic department. Those are places where the students messed up.

We do have a loss to Virginia Tech, and a resounding loss at that. I think ODU's gonna have to win most series left and win a few rounds in the C-USA tourney.

FIFY

I did not post that. If you are going to edit a quote by someone, at least quote the correct person.

I would really hope not. College athletes should not be punished or have their accomplishments diminished simply due to the fact that their state's government is run by a bunch of bigoted rednecks. If any of those schools deserve a regional based upon their play, they should get to host one.

When people are fined $80,000 for refusing to bake a damn cake, laws are needed to protect said people.

When did this happen?

This year? It's unlikely

1) HB 1523 does not go into effect until July 1.
2) Many legal scholars have opined that this bill will be struck down as unconstitutional so HB 1523 might not even get implemented, or be struck down before next year.
3) I've never seen any sporting event on Planet Earth being moved or cancelled or even altered due to the concerns of the LGBT community. I'll believe that events are in real danger when someone actually shows that they will go through with it.

Barring the Mississippi legislature doing something else in the remainder of the session, this year Mississippi's hosting rights are probably safe. If the courts don't act quickly to invalidate HB 1523, it will be brought up next year. But I'm skeptical that they'd really pull the hosting rights.

Sorry, I was wrong. It was $135,000. Happened last summer.

Here is the event that drew the $80,000 fine.

Ehh -- don't forget the 22-1 loss to a bad VT team. Love our Monarchs, but that was a really bad loss.

And yes, we need to win at a pretty clip the rest of the way.

They were fined because they broke a state law.

As long as a business isn't a monoply, then they should be able to sell their services to anyone they want; esp. in these days of the internet. Market forces will drive them out of business it their views are too radical.

Wow, so you are ok with a $135,000 fine and an $80,000 fine for their so called offenses. Unreal.

I think the fines should be pre-set for stuff like that, and that does seem a bit excessive. However there was really no need for the law passed in MS because there was no law in place like there was in Oregon.
I don't believe a pastor/priest/minister/etc...should be forced to oversee a wedding if they truly feel it's against their religious beliefs. However, baking a cake is far from performing a marriage ceremony.
I also am of the opinion that there is a difference between a private business and a privately owned business. A privately owned business is one that is owned by an individual or group of individuals, but serves the public. A private business is one that requires membership/dues/etc... in order to partake of the services offered.
