As if the majority of people knew this bit to about the war before the team. It's not some deep pride you see on the street.
And Shinn was acuses of rape. That's why Charlotte turned on him.
Attendance plummetted and was an excuse.
Atrendance is NOT THAT IMPORTANT. It fed Shinn's ego to have people come to see his team in droves.

It was more Shinn was ashamed and felt like he had no friends and wanted to get out of town so he forced a relocation. Stern had to cover for him since he is an owner, you can't force an owner out. Charlotte was awarded another franchise right away, how else would you explain that. Seattle wasn't awarded another franchise right away. Stern moved the team and gave Charlotte a new one. Shinn should have left the Hornets name in Charlotte and rebranded right away instead of dancing around the Hornets name for a while, which would have solved all this mess, but he probably didn't have the money.

I honestly don't care if it goes back or not. It's out of our hands.
Yeah, more Pelicans less Charlotte Hornets
Wherehappens.
Your right- it's been a while. He traded Scott Burrell because he was banging a honeybee that he wanted to bang, the woman he had inappropriate sexual relations with was some recovering drug addict or something like that.... There was a nationally televised trial for sexual assault.
From an Internet search:
Here's the deal: Burrell was a popular and talented Hornet until he was suddenly traded to Golden State at the deadline two seasons ago for Donald Royal--Donald Royal!--and Burrell immediately said the deal was cut for "personal" reasons.

"Los Pelicanos" actually sounds better to me.
"The pelican is fearsome. Take a raven, for example: it's omnivorous. It eats bugs, and seeds, and fruit, and carrion. Compared to the well-rounded citizen that is the raven, the pelican is the serial killer of birds." - Barry Petchesky, Deadspin
Shinn was a horrible owner honestly

And that's why I'll never, ever, ever have any sympathy for Charlotte. Turning your back on the team because of a jerk-of-an owner isn't justifiable. Owners, coaches, and players come and go--no one person should be allowed to define a fan's loyalty to the team. That's what too many fans in Charlotte did.
Old fan. Tired fan. I want to believe.
Niners fans were in the same position until recently. Denise and John York are two of the most bumbling owners in history, even spawning the website Dumpyork.com at one point. I even backed away from York at Niners game in '05 and refused to shake his hand. But I never gave up on my team.
Then York handed off the operations of the team to his son and got out of the way. Take a look at where the Niners are now. Things change. As a fan, one must persevere.
There was more to it, but the fandom has been skewed by the lens of history. They want a rebrand for the reasons people here did, especially with the Jazz. They just want something to be good and don't see the court product as anything they or owners can control short term.
We're more alike than different. It's a shame a rarional discussion isn't happening.
