Of course there will be fans who will give up rooting for their team if it changes the very identity they’ve loved. Or will simply become apathetic.

I see that “win-win” argument all the time, as though rebrands are really easy and everyone would be completely on-board with forgoing a brand they’ve been emotionally connected to since their childhood.

Titans vs. Saints

I was wondering why “Kentavius Cantrell Pope” looked familiar but seemed a little off...I need to brush up on my legislative knowledge.

To Ben fair, they are all Single-A players making less than minimum wage. This isn’t something to get fined over.

MLB.tv has started cracking down on this and will terminate your account entirely if they catch you, fyi

Oh yeah, it would be extremely unusual for a good white basketball player to be revered in Boston. No way those fans would fawn over a white athlete in that market, especially one who excels in an area typically dominated by black athletes. I’m sure companies will be hesitant to have a good looking, squeaky clean,…

My take is to keep the team cap but remove individual caps. That would allow Utah to pay the “no one wants to live here” tax and offer more than the Celtics probably would. Right now they have no substantial advantage because Hayward didn’t make All NBA.

Marvel Selects get so much less attention, but they are producing A+ figures these days

As I mentioned, this is a player-driven league. This isn’t a video game. The Celtics can’t just trade for him and he grumbles and then plays hard for them. Not only would they have to deal with a pissed off player, they also risk their reputation and standing within the league, which hurts their ability to attract…

Another factor often not considered: Jimmy Butler could have simply told the Celtics he refuses to play for them, for whatever reason. This is a player-run league, and this stuff happens more often than we hear about.

My dog is 20 lbs and wants to be the alpha dog. He is literally incapable of hurting anything, but if he encounters an aggressive dog, he tends to push their buttons and gets attacked.

Just replied to another comment about this, but they are most definitely not going to make more money by changing their team name. If they did, they would have done it already. The Washington Redskins brand is the eighth most valuable sports team in the world. It would take several generations for the “Red Tails”…

As I’ve rallied on here before, rebranding one of the most valuable sports franchises in the world is incredibly costly and risky, which is precisely why Snyder won’t do that. Changing the name would alienate a large portion of their fanbase, and they would lose a tremendous amount of brand equity and overall…

This whole article felt kind of lazy IMO. Seems there’s a lot to this story that wasn’t researched.

I’m not sure I think he’s a slimeball so much as a thin skinned narcissist who can’t handle when anyone is doing anything besides heaping praise on him.

If the 1993 Phoenix Suns not only had Barkley, Johnson, and Majerle, but then also had Karl Malone and Clyde Drexler on their team, I’m don’t think Jordan could “will his team” to a championship. He didn’t need a superteam because they didn’t exist elsewhere.

“It’d be like if you had a company and the CEO gets caught up in some scandal and has to resign and then the COO who steps in to fill his shoes only speaks Portuguese and has a degree in Computer Science. While those things might be useful if you have a Brazilian video game company, it doesn’t do you a damn bit of…

...or does it simply show that the candidate has no problem making empty gestures in order to get ahead in their career? Do you want a fake employee in your culture, who’s more concerned about manipulating office politics and sucking up to the boss than they are about actually doing their job?

Now to me, a job candidate sending a thank you card in the mail comes across as hollow. Like, do you actually appreciate my time and felt compelled to properly thank me, or do you just want me to hire you?
