Yeah ever since Tepper just went full copy and paste of NCFC's talking points on their MLS bid to justify why Charlotte was good (heavy, heavy emphasis on the youth program of the Raleigh area and the university soccer history of UNC) only to say "who cares about that other city" when they announced their successful bid, my interest in sports within Charlotte have plummeted. The fact that Charlotte will inevitably try and claim the Canes as part of their network when it comes to a MLB bid just annoys me.

I'm glad Raleigh has the Canes, and I don't give a f*** about Charlotte. Let them have MLB, so long as the Bulls are never, ever, *ever* their minor league affiliate.

Oh so we do exist. Seeing a bit of debate around this topic. Must admit, it'd be weird to see the Bulls usurped by a major here. An essential summer standby..so many fond memories made there.

Hey Charlotte, we're not one of your suburbs. We're not even twin cities. You're doing your thing, we're doing ours, and we're both doing it well. We would love for you to support the Canes the way we support the Panthers, but don't try to claim them as your own. It's our team, and you can pry it from our cold, dead hands.

Edit: Oh wait, that writer is from London and probably doesn't have a connection to either city. Never mind.

Just comment in the article that Manchester City is one of those cute little London soccer teams.

I dont think this hacker group intended to shut down half the east coast for a week, just as with the Q crazies and Jan 6th, now the vast security and counter terrorism infrastructure of the US is going to grind into motion and bring down the hammer on these clowns.

Anyway Chapel Hill is cooked, luckily I got some gas today (I drive for my job so I actually need it) but Colonial putting put uncertain messages about how they *might* have it up and running this weekend doesn't inspire me with confidence.

Please let some other lucky recipient like San Jose or Sacramento or hell Vancouver, let them have the A's if the franchise can't stay in Oakland. Thank you.

Oh and please don't suggest the Rays or an expansion team come here either.

These idiots in Kentucky and Indiana are all rushing to the gas stations today despite the fact that WE AREN'T EVEN ON THE SAME PIPELINE.

Is it just me or does anyone else want to scream with venemous rage on a daily basis because of how fricking goddamned stupid human beings are?

At the beginning of all this crap the very first item people horded was toilet paper.

Wasn’t that comment a shot at Atlanta? IIRC that was the consensus around here by folks who know MLS better than I do.

That is what was reported from the Hurricanes twitter (when they said their 'hellos' to the club after they were selected to MLS).

I'm not sure I buy that, which is disappointing to someone like me who tries to "bridge the gap" between the two cities, but whatever. Personally I'm probably not going to be a fan of this MLS team, I'm already dreading my tax dollars going to support Teppers (net worth $15 billion) effort to build a new stadium for either that or the Panthers.

Just looked it up. Full quote:

“That other city, there’s another city down the road, to the west. Charlotte is hot, OK, we’re the hot city. Screw that other city, OK? We’re going to have one hell of a rivalry”

He was clearly talking about Atlanta.

As someone who has no interest in MLS (yeah, bite me), I was happy to see Charlotte get the team. God knows what taxpayer bondoggle would be involved in building a stadium in Raleigh.
