Felix Sabates (Charlotte Minority Owner) Is In Favor Of Hornets Rebrand

Well, I guess this thread is relegated to "NBA Talk" despite the fact that this is an article based on, about, and regarding our Charlotte franchise and one of our minority owners...

So, I'm posting this here because a couple of douches' vaginas get all itchy if someone speaks negatively about our beloved BOBcats. We'll see who the true fans are if a rebrand does happen, and it'll be hilarious.

Anyway, here are some awesome quotes:

“Personally, I love (the idea of bringing the Hornets name back to Charlotte) because Bobcats was named for Bob Johnson,” Sabates said. “I’m surprised we didn’t call them the Johnsoncats.”

WHAT A WHITE DEVIL RACIST! LMAO...

Bobcats executives have said they will consider the possibility if and when Benson closes on his purchase of the New Orleans franchise and if he follows through on his vow to change names.

Didn't know they actually did this, but, if so, great... I actually wonder if MJ gave Sabates the OK to put this out there, as it won't be as frowned upon if a minority owner talks about the rebrand compared to an executive front office type.

Here's the article in its entirety: http://www.bizjourna...in-hornets.html

I only support nicknames!! -signed KT

It is funny, for all the uproar about the nickname, during the press conference about re-assigning Paul Silas the executives during that 30 minute press conference referred to it exclusively as "the franchise". So if they do re-brand I hope certain people will understand that it is about the franchise, not the nickname.

Sabates is such a Euro-Anglo Saxon, just look at his name. He should shut his spoiled mouth, Bob Johnson doesn't owe him anything...

Err... Wait.

Huh?

Bob Johnson isn't the owner anymore?

Oh, MJ is?

Is that right?

How long has it been this way?

*turns to BET for kicks and nostalgia*

Hey Diddy keep that bullshit out of the real NBA forum and take it back to the bobcats cesspool. This is for the real fans.

When you have owners speaking out on this it's a great sign for the movement.

I think everyone in the area knows it's a good idea to rebrand. More money for the owners and a better time for the fans!

      Panthers Preseason

      Ideally Bryce and the other starters should get at least a full quarter and an argument could be made for 2 full quarters given how they've played early in the season the last few years.

      A rookie that has never played a snap and a proven 1000K NFL WR are not going to be viewed the same in these type rankings.  And calling draft picks, lotto picks, isn't some new quip I just invented.  take the big 3 Hubbard, AT, insert whatever 3rd Panther you want vs Kamara, Hill, Olave.  Most football folks outside of Carolina are picking the Saints there IMO.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      You didn’t really address the point, just like you ignored the point about the RBs initially, and saying “they are all lotto picks” is just a really silly reduction because you could say that about literally any player rookie or vet every snap, every game, every year. It is well known that different positions have different hit rates, and I would argue different types of prospects within position groups as well, and that hit rates change the further down in the draft you go. Everybody knows QB is different and that, for example, first round OL have a really high success rate. Using your lotto ticket analogy…again…you are saying a lotto ticket with a 1 in 100 chance of hitting is the exact same thing as a lotto ticket with a 1 in 2 chance of hitting (this is an example, don’t take these odds literally). The point was he is no more of a lotto ticket than the 31yr old receiver coming off a major knee injury, and in my opinion he is better odds with a higher potential “jackpot”. Saying one player is an “lotto ticket” while another isn’t is just not sound logic. You have no idea who will break out, regress, get injured, etc. There are safer bets than others, that’s all. I don’t think Diggs is a safe bet and even if he was, weighing him over all of the Panthers WRs plus 2 1k rushers is just dumb. You can disagree if you want. The list is stupid.
