Not like I care what he says.He fired up the local sportsradio nutjobs with the second article about how the city of charlotte hasn't done as much for him as he's done for it...Like Drafting Adam Morrison and Sean May was a great civic boon *******.
You'll notice that some of the comments were
"deleted by the blog administrator" I always look at the comments in Charlotte.com's bobcats stories to see what sort of racist cretinese they allow.

You have to wonder how much sympathy a billionaire gets when he goes into a room full of millionaire corporate types and starts crying about how they haven't done enough for him.I'd laugh right in his face if it were me.Like I said before the local sportsradio audience was hardly amused by this.
Quote:
Charlotte's business community has fallen short in its support of the Charlotte Bobcats, majority owner Bob Johnson said Monday, leading him to ask executives across the region to pony up more money for tickets, suites and sponsorships.
"I am absolutely concerned," Johnson told the Observer in an interview. "I am doing everything I can to make this team work, including writing a lot of checks."
Some Charlotte business and government leaders, however, say a losing team is a tough draw, that the Bobcats face more competition for entertainment spending than the city's previous NBA team and that Johnson hasn't been highly visible as an owner.
Saying he has lost "significant money" since team's inception in 2003, Johnson has spent several days in Charlotte this month, using that time to personally appeal to the heads of major companies ranging from Wachovia to Harris Teeter.
