re: Will the backlash from the public about "Pelicans" change Benson's mind?

The most sensitive people seems to be those that like the name. Those are the people that are sniping at people for having a differing opinion of their's and making excuses for why the name is meeting universal disapproval. I don't think the backlash is retarded and just because my views are opposing to some people doesn't mean that I am misguided. That's a personal opinion. To me the reaction of the general public is not surprising but would do little regardless to change my perception. If the majority liked the name I would still dislike it because the name is not appealing to me. I didn't really favor any of the names that were brought up and that wasn't about disliking change, I just love the name we currently hold and see no reason for the change. It could be true that over time people will adjust to the name. I think a great logo design could help that.
Really though if Pelicans is the name chosen then I only have two options. Stop being a fan or get over it find a way to support the team despite my reservations about the name. And option number 1 isn't really an option.

No one is sniping at people with different opinions, they are sniping at Jester for being his usual contrarian, scorched earth self. I don't think anyone here is pro Pelicans as much as they've talked themselves into accepting the inevitable and are encouraging others to do the same.
