re: Stop bashing the city/state and it's NBA fans for lack of attendance

quote:I totally agree with this. We are a wonderful sports town. We've been looking for the Hornets to give us a reason to love them. Any semblance of identity with the city or loyalty from the franchise to make it our own. Like someone else mentioned--the tv deal where Northshore residents couldn't watch the games was a failure of epic proportions.
ETA: I've always said the N.O. market has to be cultivated. With solid ownership and an exciting, competitive team, attendance will be solid and profitable. It is primarily football country, but so what? So is Texas, Georgia and Tennessee
"Cultivated" is the perfect word. An ownership/management group with a real vision and sense of local identity could really bring out the best in this market and an NBA team really could flourish.

The difference between church and an NBA game is church gives you the opportunity to witness beauty: in the music, in the words, in the architecture. The NBA, for the most part, lacks beauty. Sure, from time to time, you see a beautiful play; you see a group of people acting in concert, ordered in such a way that the mind is exalted and the senses pleased. For the Hornets, those plays left when Chris Paul left. What we're left with now is clumsiness, a concrete building without any architectural beauty, an annoying announcer whose words have no meaning, and dumb pop music during the interludes of bad basketball. A person who chooses to watch the Hornets over going to a liturgical church service, and I say this from a completely aesthetic position, ignoring the larger metaphysical issues, lacks taste and an appreciation for culture.
Qui vir odiosus!
