Should the Hornets Name Return to Charlotte

With the purchase of the New Orleans Hornets by the NBA, numerous questions have risen over the long term future of the team in Louisiana.  If the league decides to sell the team to ownership groups looking to move the team (to cities such as Louisville, Kansas City, or Las Vegas) many speculate that they will have a new nickname.  This could open up the “Hornets” nickname to return to Charlotte.  This nickname has local ties to the Charlotte region due to General Cornwallis of England proclaiming Mecklenburg County a “Hornets Nest” during the Revolutionary War.  When Michael Jordan purchased the Charlotte Bobcats earlier this year, he said that he would not be opposed to changing the team’s current nickname.  The Bobcats nickname is unpopular in Charlotte because many fans feel that former owner Bob Johnson named the team after himself.  There is a slight chance that the M.J. will decide to abandon the Bobcats and bring back the Hornets name to Charlotte.  The current Hornets team played in the Queen City from 1988-2002 before moving to New Orleans.  My gut feeling is that a local buyer will end up purchasing the team and keeping the Hornets in New Orleans and the Bobcats name will continue to live on in Charlotte.

Thursday Night Pick

Indianapolis (-4) over Tennessee.

The Colts and Peyton Manning especially are facing major problems with turnovers and injuries.  This week, they should cruise over the Titans because Tennessee looks like they have quit on Jeff Fisher due to a lack of a Quarterback.
