Stephanie Ready addressing Bobcats fans

[CatNation]

Man that was really sad after the Knicks game. Stephanie looked like she was about to cry talking how crappy our fanbase is after the entire arena erupting when JR hit that shot. She said the team realizes it. I hope they use it as motivation but it must be quite the burden to play basically 82 road games. This is a problem that is not gonna be solved with a change to the Hornets.

idk though, after her comments I just felt really hopeless about NBA basketball in Charlotte.

give it a few winning seasons with a decent young core coming up and they will fall in line. but it does suck. however, like atlanta, charlotte is a "new south" (god i hate that libby yankee term) city which means lots of recently transplanted folks so they may never come around.

[SWedd523]

Yep, perils of being such an attractive destination for transplants. See it everywhere in the Carolinas unfortunately.

[Felton for Prez]

It happens when any big city team comes here. Ever seen a Lakers game here? It happens in football too. It's not a big deal.

Once we get to the playoffs again, and to see the stadium streamed with white.
Or if we change colours/name to Hornets, then (I'm assuming) the stadium filled with teal.

Ugh..teal. Cue the Miami Vice soundtrack now.

I think the transplant fans are super cool.

I bet you have a confederate flag on your pick up truck. New south seems to be working out better than old racist secession south

But I missed the Knicks game, So didn't see Ms.Ready plead for respect. With this little skid we been on lately I don't expect much from local fans. But honestly....We dont win....So can you really hate on people for dreaming of the lost Hornets days. I'm just happy to not be the worst team in the league

no confederate flag. don't like that either. no pickup truck either. i do have a minivan though. i hate the "new south" term because it implies the old south (as in 30 years ago) was not a nice place. sure, there were major problems but it wasn't much different than the north. i am from yankee-ville and know that racial harmony is far from the truth. as a matter fact, i think racial relations are much better in the south than they are in the north.

anyway, the reason i don't like it is because what seems to happen is that it is code for "northerners, come down here for weather and cheaper cost of living, trust us we are slowly pushing out these dumb southerners and their culture, except for the bbq, we like that better."

Have you seen how many New Yorkers live here? We have been struggling and they are doing great. At least the place was packed. Hopefully we can turn some if those people to Bobcat fans.
