"New Orleans Pelicans: Name Change Should Bring Hornets Back to Charlotte"

From Bleacher Report

Review by Quintin Hunter in KIN 332

After reading this article, it makes sense for all of the NBA to make changes. This change will help socially, marketing, and also the entertainment of the game. I think it was a good idea the Hornets name should return to the city/community of Charlotte. First for all of this to happen, owner Tom Benson of the New Orleans Hornets has to change their name which they are doing; they will be called the New Orleans Pelicans by next season. This is going to be an interesting decision for the city of New Orleans. I’m not sure if they have an issue or not with changing their team name. Now it’s up to Charlotte Bobcat’s owner Michael Jordan to make a decision if he wants to bring the Hornets back to Charlotte. Even though, the Bobcats haven’t been doing well on the court, the fans will be happy just to have the name back in its original location. The only problem that the Bobcat franchise would have is that they just obtained new uniforms for this past season. That would mess up the stores around the city of Charlotte that is selling the Bobcats gear. In the article, there is a group/movement called, “Bring Back the Buzz” that attends the games in Charlotte that is trying to convince that franchise to change their name back and on an occasion that chant, “Charlotte Hornets” in the middle of the games. I think if everyone in the city supports this movement then owner Michael Jordan would automatically change the name back to the Charlotte Hornets.
