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!

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
