https://www.insidehighered.com/quicktakes/2018/01/04/because-anti-gay-law-southern-mississippi-baseball-will-lose-home-gamesA Mississippi law that allows businesses to deny services to same-sex couples has caused a ripple effect and shaved three home games from the University of Southern Mississippis baseball schedule.
Stony Brook University, part of the public State University of New York system, was scheduled to play Southern Mississippi in February, but no longer will because New York Governor Andrew Cuomo banned all nonessential travel to Mississippi following the passage of the new state law, the Sun Herald reported.
I just hate losing the three home games, Southern Mississippis head baseball coach, Scott Berry, told the Sun Herald. Im sure its going to cost us for sure. Thats three gates and everything that goes into a game day in terms of revenue.

GREAT job Governor Cuomo!
There are now two sides, two parties, if you can call GOP a party.
One side, Democrats, favors equality, the other side does not.

(21,506 posts)1. Hmm that seems odd
Why would they lose if the opposing team does not show up?

(2,190 posts)4. lose equals "won't play"
They'll undoubtedly "win" the game, scorewise.

That's more important than wins or losses.

I thought they meant they would lose the games and it would hurt their standings.
