Absolutely not. I'm enjoying not seeing people pontificate about how and why Gordon isn't playing for a while.

Pelicans is my favorite NBA name now. Jester is never really an angry poster so I am kind of surprised.

It matters what free agents think about the team. It's not like a player is going to say "Their name is the Pelicans? I'm signing with the Mavericks." However, I think it is extremely naive to imply that public perception doesn't affect your ability to attract players. Hence, you should always care what "the nation" thinks.

So because the public thinks pelican is a dumb name, a player wouldn't want to come here because of the publics or "nations" feeling on the team name or "perception" of it

Did I not say that it wouldn't matter? Damn, son.

You seem obsessed with single cause-single effect here. I just think you should make it easier on yourself any time you get the chance. Increased national appeal DEFINITELY helps bring in free agents.

I said its a good thing we don't care what the nation thinks about our team name.

You said:

You are saying it matters and it doesn't matter.

But now your just saying it doesn't matter.

Even though you brought up free agents.

Like it matters.

The only name I like better than Pelicans is Voodoo. It fits our city, state, region and is a classy name.

Pelicans>>>>>Brass>>>>>Krewe

Yeah, because we needed people to laugh hysterically at our name instead of kind of chuckling.
