Clinton voices support for NCAA pulling games from North Carolina

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has voiced her support for the NCAA's decision to pull tournament games out of North Carolina due to the anti-LGBT HB2 law.

After the decision was made by the NCAA to pull seven championships - including the first and second round of the men's basketball tournament - out of the state, Clinton took to Twitter to support the move.

The NCAA's decision comes a few months after the NBA announced it would be moving the 2017 All-Star game out of Charlotte, N.C. due to the state law prohibiting individuals from using a washroom that doesn't correspond with the gender of their birth.
