You can merge this in the NBA thread if you'd like, but I thought it was an interesting article in the Charlotte Observer this morning that could generate discussion on here. Brings up the Hornets, and why the Bobcats aren't connecting.
Any opinions on how the Bobcats can re-connect with the Charlotte/NC community?
Charlotte Bobcats owner Michael Jordan admits his team has an image problem, and he's not referring to their 4-26 record.
It's something worse, in his opinion. Somehow, after eight seasons as a franchise, the Bobcats still are not considered a part of the fabric of the community.
http://www.charlotteobserver.com/20...el-jordan-seeks-to-restore.html#storylink=cpy"The former owner let things slip," said Jordan, and opportunities were lost in the process. The sports icon's frustration is obvious, particularly when he brings up how Charlotte's first NBA franchise, the Hornets, ranked No. 1 in league attendance.
"Number one for 10 years!" Jordan said, his voice rising. "The community supported it and at that time, the Hornets supported the city. I want to duplicate that. I want us to be No. 1 in attendance and No. 1 in the community.
"If we ask people to invest in us, we must invest in them."
