CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Attorney Jerry Reese has filed yet another lawsuit against the Charlotte Knights' plans to build a stadium in uptown Charlotte.

Reese says that the $38 million project is unfair to local taxpayers.

Mecklenburg County and the Knights are both listed as defendants on the suit.

A judge dismissed Reese's first lawsuit against the knights in 2007.

Charlotte will NEVER support a MLB team! They barely support the Bobcats! You would think by now that he'd get that through his thick skull! :angry: The majority of people want baseball back to Charlotte. He should be more concerned that when it does come back to Charlotte, we will see the same prices that the TWC Arena and BofA Stadium charge. Right now, Knights Stadium is a good cheap source of entertainment!

If you said North Carolina would NEVER hoist the Stanley Cup 20 years ago, you would have sounded sane. To say we will NEVER support MLB after being named the fastest growing city/state in the country, hosting the DNC, and having the 6th busiest airport in the world, you sound ignorant.

Suuure, let´s bash the man that has literally saved Charlotte, to this point, from permanently being branded along the likes of Lehigh Valley, Toledo, Pawtuckett, Rochester, etc., and sit back and watch while MLB cities like Cincinnati lose their companies to us, while they continue to support MLB.

Charlotte led the NBA in attendance for a decade, had a respectful attendance mark this year despite the worst team in NBA history with an awful nickname, and was actually a hot ticket and great atmosphere the one and only time they did make the playoffs (swept by the Magic). Not to mention the Carolinas are a huge baseball hotbed and, again, we are the fastest growing city/region in this country.

Go Jerry Go!!! A Knights Stadium with public funds with no plans to expand to MLB standards is beyond stupid, and is totally contradictory to what Charlotte has always stood for.

      Robert Hunt Practice Window Activated

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.

      Chad ‘Ochstradamus’ Johnson and Shannon Sharpe on Panthers

      Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.

      I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
