Bobcats Rebrand Update Thread (Real Charlotte Fans-Censorship Free Edition)

[bigcatdaddy]

That's another racist post. You need to be banned.

But I'll play your game. Just because you want to be ghetto fabulous and think your race determines what's cool and what isn't doesn't make it so. You only like the Bobcats more than the Panthers because you think they're YOUR team, because they're black-owned. No one who is a Panther fan that I know loves the Panthers because they're white owned. I don't say they're MY team. You post in the Panthers' board and have not posted anything intellectually stimulating to anyone outside of the neo-Black Panther party since the fateful day you clicked the "register" icon. I'm also shocked you would want a rebrand of the Panthers, given their current mascot is the symbol of your favorite organization.

And considering racism isn't basketball (no matter how much you wish it were) I'm waiting for some legitimate non-bullshit fanboy basketball posts from you.

I could go on all day about LeBron's pathetic flopping at Chandler's expense, the Bobcats' constant inability to maximize results from the pick-and-roll, or how the pro and college games have been watered down to the point that neither of them exercise the same high level of fundamental basketball that was played as recent as 12 years ago due to the rules about early jumps to the league. Don't challenge me to a basketball discussion, I don't want to embarrass you anymore than you've embarrassed yourself already. Also, there are new developments about the rebranding process. And please go back to the beginning of this season, where I posted game threads in here that you didn't. Get at me when you learn how to argue and then ball.

Oh and don't fuging call me a hick.

I agree, there is no room in here for anyone who is racist.

No, what should be banned are white folks who come to a predominate white board like this one to troll one of the few african americans who contributes. Or come to an NBA forum to vent about black people (KT, Bob Johnson, NBA players). All for the sake of gain brownie points from other white people. "Look at me, Im cool, Im putting them in their place!" Then when one uses the N-word in the chat, in a tag, or on the forum, they give silent support and never speak out. Like I said, you dudes suck, and are horrible NBA fans. Stay in the Tinderbox or the Panthers forum where you belong.

Wo was putting who in their place? And you're black? I had no idea. I would have leaned towards Egyptian.

[Porn Shop Clerk]

they're not racist, they let a black guy mow their yard KT.

they just wouldn't let their daughter date one.

[CatofWar]

They're not racist, they think everyone should own two or three.

PSC did I do it right?

Why are you playing the "race card" just because people disagree with you? Do you not think that people can disagree and it not have anything to do with race? I believe you and PSC are the one's who have made this a black/white issue when it is clearly not and you are the only one who's statements would be considered racist. Just because you are african american doesn't mean you are allowed to act like a racist and it be accepted.

This thread is unbelievable.

2 people have hijacked the thread to get people talking about something that has zero relevance to the topic. I guess that was their intent.

The only colors that matter in this thread are

Teal & Purple.

Adam Silver discussed the change with Jordan last Thursday.

It's real and it's going to happen!

You can derail a thread but, you can't derail the movement. We shall overcome

[King Taharqa]

The Hornets are in New Orleans, you have no movement.

[Porn Shop Clerk]

you guys want the bobcats brand gone because you hate the former owner

you want the hornets brand back despite the former owner giving charlotte a black eye before he left

shinn was 10x worse than bob johnson ever was, and only a bunch of revisionist 20 somethings that were shielded from the truth would claim otherwise

an african american owner names a team after himself = horrible

a white owner names a team after his peewee football league and elementary school = good

i'm glad you are so proud of your whitewashed history

[King Taharqa]

typical Charlotte whine and cheesers.

"screw the blacks and mexicans who live here! Theyre not REALLY a part of this community. But lets name all the city streets and schools after white people. Blacks have contributed NOTHING to Charlotte. They're all on welfare and are criminals. ONLY white people are important enough to have things named after them"

typical Charlotte mindstate. Then they wonder why successful black athletes dont want to play here. LOL. Why didnt Chris Paul come "home"? Why are people so worried bout Cam leaving? Why did J Pep get out of dodge? Nobody wants to play for racist hicks obsessed with whiteness and whitewashing everything.

[Porn Shop Clerk]

the only reasons they've given for a hornets rebrand is

1. they hate bob johnson

2. they used to have hugo undies

3. a statement made by our enemies in war 400 years ago

Or we could be logical and take this whole "racial undertone" out of it and look at what it really is:

Charlotte Bobcats

The Bobcats is one of the few generic names in the NBA with no historical meaning to the city of Charlotte.

New Orleans Hornets.

The team originated in Charlotte, North Carolina. The Carolinas were invaded by the British in the Revolutionary war, and during one such invasion the British stepped into a trap laid by the Americans and the British general said it was like a Hornets nest. The name Hornets won out of a contest held to name the team in 1987.

yet this doesn't seem to bother anyone when it comes to the carolina panthers, AN ANIMAL THAT DOESN'T EVEN EXIST

yeah some british dude 400 years ago said something after he got his ass whipped by people that didn't adhere to the accepted rules of military combat at the time

already covered that

carolina panthers is as generic as they come, but for some reason i have supported them for 17 years

Why would racist hicks like Bob Johnson? The richest black man in America is the devil to them. Racist white people can hold a grudge with blacks for decades. Just look at this thread, look at how they come at me, their hate is their culture.It hasnt diminished in 8 years. 8 YEARS!!! But they forgave George for raping that girl a long time ago. Their hate for a rich black man who is an upstanding citizen and internationally respected, supercedes their disgust for white people who hurt other white people. A white felon gets more love in Charlotte.
