Why won't sports bars show the Bobcats?

Ditto for who cares about the Bobcats (more like pussycats). Loved and attended Hornets games when whey were here. Michael Jordan may have gotten a fire sale on the team, but it was a bad investment. I do like the arena; we go the Checkers games when we can. Love those fights with a little hockey thrown in :-)

If we get a high flying superstar in the draft it won't matter how nice or how much of a jerk MJ is...

It's not like MJ is greeting me at the coliseum door and walking me to my seat. 99% of fans will never meet MJ.

No, we most likely won't meet MJ. But how many people boycott companies based on te actions of an employee or board member they will never meet. Image is important to any business.

And then there are the articles talking about how the coach can't figure out why the players have just given up.

Neither of those makes me want to spend money on tickets.

Exactly charlotte is a pretty small town in the grand scheme of things. You might get away with being a surly jerk in a city of millions when your winning championships, but it won't fly to far in a small city in charlotte, where your running a losing team. Granted if they start winning people will overlook certain things but the pussycats are far from that!
