| Hornet name change?? (Posted on 9/17/12 at 7:06 pm)
Forgive me if this has been addressed recently but I am just a casual NBA fan. Obviously at this point it won't be done this year, but has the change idea been totally shelved? I haven't heard anything about it in months.

If it wasn't for those a-holes in Phoenix I'd be all for the New Orleans Sons

Why do you continually call out people who are not season ticket holders (mainly because they dont live in New Orleans)? It's not like they don't support the Hornets. They just cant physically make it to the games. I don't want you to complain anymore about people calling you a troll because you're just as bad as them when you do shite like this. I thought your whole persona was about good vibes and shite anyway. You're not doing a good job of that. As of now, your giving off an annoying/douchey vibe, mon.

Yeah, revenue generated by ticket sales is roughly $15 - $20 million while revenue generated by the TV contract is roughly $10 - $12 million. People that watch the games on TV contribute too much to the bottom line to be treated as if they aren't really true fans. It's not easy watching Ceelo beatbox for the 1000th time. All this True Fan bull shite is nothing more than people with low self esteem blowing themselves. Regarding the OP, no one knows anything other than Benson really wants to change the name, has allegedly registered Angels and Spirit, and was rumored to have tried to buy back the Voodoo name.

Does that include the food,beverage, and fan apparel bought by people attending the games? ETA: because I probably spend $150 a game on booze
