We saw it here in North Carolina in 2016 over HB2 aka "The bathroom bill," which saw the NBA pull its All-Star game, the ACC - which is based in North Carolina - pulling various sporting events from the state, PayPal pulling out of an expansion deal, and companies like Apple, Nike, and Salesforce joining legal efforts to get these state legislatures to reverse course.
