^^ Its show bussiness not politics and im sure NOLA organization was aware of the positive and negative outcomes of the new name. I dont think they bother all this mockings and jockings, cause its a great marketing idea cause everyone talking about them including us. They draw attention and sympathy in some way and since popularity is a huge asset in that bussiness they did a great job if you ask me. Any publicity is good publicity but looks like its a win-win for everyone beside NOLA fans.
We were talking about the team will walk out on NO state 2 years ago but look at now. Even we talked about them 4 pages and think about how it did (so far) and will affect social media when it actually happens. The money is on hashtags not on TV anymore and again, i think its a great idea.
