If he was then I had him as an instructor. He's a tall, goofy looking guy with a jewfro?

I remember that class because it was a very long class that met once a week on tuesday afternoon. That class was a bitch dragging myself to lol

I’m sorry; I really do not understand why this thread is getting so long and so much attention. It seems very simple to me.

1. There are a lot of basketball fans who are fans of Charlotte as the home team. We do not root for names or anything else. The team could be the Bobcats, Bobs, Jordans, Flight, Assassins, whatever and we are still going to go hard for the home town team.
   

1. There are fans/potential fans/on the fence fans who are not diehard fans of the team. They can take the bobcats or leave them. Some do not like the image of the bobcats or Bob Johnson.. That’s their prerogative and have all rights to that opinion. While I do not agree I understand people have their own reasoning for why the do and don’t cheer for certain teams. These people should not be forced into rooting for the team or told their reasons are wrong… they have rights to/not to form emotional attachments to the team for their own reasons.
   

1. I would like the bobcats to have more fan support because I am a fan of the team and want the team to succeed and do its best. If a large number of people who don’t support the team would if a name a changed…. Then whatever, do it, I don’t care…. Me and the rest of the people in #1 will be a fan regardless, but if it can greatly increase fan support and bring in a large number of fans from group #2… hey the more fans the better so go for it….
   

It seems like there should be understanding from both sides and respect for people’s opinions/ feelings on the subject.

Those people are not Bobcat fans. Charlotte is a city, not a basketball team. Does those same folks pull for UNCC too? Or are they dickriding UNC, Duke, etc? And the disrespect is because the Hornets groupies came in here disrespectful, now they're getting it back and you guys are feeling sorry for them. I don't. I feel sorry for Bobcats fans who support us who are told they dont exist or dont matter because somebody can't get over the Hornets leaving 10 YEARS AGO!

Charlotte needs to grow a pair.

Wait wait wait….. so are you now trying to tell me I am not a bobcat fan because I do not care about what the team name is and will support the team regardless? I grew up in S. Carolina the Bobcats are the closet team to home that I identify with.

But I do not understand why you are so upset with the people who do not cheer for the same reasons as you? At the end of the day I am all about what is best for the team…. Fan support and $$$ spent is very important. So whatever helps bring in fan support we should embrace it since we want the team to do better. People are how they are… it needs to be accepted. So like any business out there you have to do your best to adjust and make it work.

According to KT, the only thing that determines whether you are a fan or not is whether you like the name and mascot of the team.

Ranks right up there with the rest of his moronic, ill-informed, and just flat out stupid opinions and beliefs that he has.

it's useless theyhateme45. KT doesn't understand simple business logic and will insult you if you disagree with him on the subject. I think you put it perfectly, whatever is best for this team financially and will ensure long-term stability is what I want. It's obvious most people here who did not catch on with the bobcats for whatever reasons, will spend more money and dedicate more support for the organization. I don't care what the reasons are for people to support this team, as long as they are doing so.

KT has already stated that he would not support the team if they were called the hornets, for whatever reasons. That would sure make this forum better. If you are african american you should state that in your posts so that he would read them with a different point of view.

Says the board's worst racist.....and you know that is you KT. Try and spin it any way you want....you are an ignorant, bitter, racist POS....plain and simple.

I don't judge ANY person by the color of their skin. I judge them by the ignorance that they portray....and you are the worst of the worst.....and EVERYONE on here sees you for exactly what you are.

[King Taharqa]

You're a liar, and the way you spit out them hateful words lets me know just how miserable and ugly you are.

[MadHatter]

No....you have shown that you are the ugly and miserable one on here. You are the ONLY person who continues to make EVERY arguement strictly about race. Neither me, nor anyone else here does that.

Your pathetic and small minded logic that you use is this....if ANYONE does not agree with you, they are racist.

I really feel sorry for you. To go through life as bitter, angry, and ignorant as you is such a burden to bear.

[AppStatePanther]

Jerry Richardson is still racist and is a worse owner than Bob Johnson and Michael Jordan.

So are you ready to post about basketball yet?

I could post about how damn near every team in the Developmental League would probably beat the Bobcats.

[King Taharqa]

The Bobcats arent in the playoffs. Guess we wont see you posting here for a few months, since thats all you know about basketball. Lame.
