    no.

    [Though, I'm neutral on the issue. Come what may.)
    SOMEONE will pay for THIS!

    I am a younger Bobcats fan so have never had the affiliation to the Hornets name that others do, I have always known the Bobcats as the Bobcats and I think I will stick with it for now. I want the Bobcats to make their own name in history, we sucked as the Bobcats now I want to win as the Bobcats. I don't want the Bobcats name to be remembered for being the worst NBA team in history.

    This is just my personal preference and I am sure I would feel differently if I was older or a Charlotte native.

    Lets be honest, the Bobcats have been a tragedy. At one point we led the league in attendance when the Hornets were in Charlotte. We're a huge basketball state considering EVERYONE comes to NC to play college ball (UNC & Duke) we also have the most current NBA players.

    No. Fans who don't support a franchise because of a name are fans that won't be there when times are tough. Leave the name as is and let's focus on rebuilding, not rebranding.

    Bring back the buzz does support the Bobcats, have you seen them this year? Him (and some of his entourage) are always at the games.

    Yes, wearing another team's jerseys.

    I'm not signing it. And the comment about the Bobcat's being a disaster clearly doesn't remember how it ended with the Hornets. That's was a disaster. I find it quaint that people have such nostalgia.

    Rather it stay as is, or just become Cats. As I said in another thread, my kid loves the Bobcats and Rufus just like all the nostalgic Hornets fans did as a kid. It's a shame my kid isn't going to be able to grow with the team he learned first. Worse, he'll have to adjust to teal and purple. Just awful.

    So you're saying you can't wish for something and support it at the same time?

    Sure you can. I wish Selena Gomez would replace my girlfriend, but I'm still happy to be with the one I got.

    That said, if the name changes, it changes. If not, then I'm cool with that. I have no desire to push the agenda one way or the other. So..
