Alright. That's it. I'm making it official.
Abe Pollin and the rest of the Washington Wizards organization. You're dead to me. I've supported your organization since they were known as the Bullets, before you forced me to purchase new attire that was mocked at by the entire public because the team name is too "violent". You pussies.
You had the greatest player in the history of the entire league for two seasons and managed to make his second comeback an exercise in futility and humility.
You've destroyed the foundation of the franchise over and over again, the most recent victim being Rip Hamilton who has enjoyed CHAMPIONSHIP SUCCESS on his new squad. Instead, you look to be creating the Maryland Terrapins All-Decade team with your plans of trading for Steve Francis for Gilbert Arenas and Kwame Brown. I'm sure Juan Dixon and Steve Blake are ecstatic.
I can only guess that in a year or two, D.J. Strawberry's name will be called in the lottery.
So, in short -- goodbye. I won't be buying your licensed merchandise or supporting your team. In fact, I will vehemently be rooting against it. This will mark the first time I've completely spurned a hometeam franchise. Not even the Orioles were able to do that completely.
Now, dear Forum-goers, I need a new team. I don't want to root for any New York or Los Angeles team. I want a team with character and decent management (that rules out Orlando!). I used to like Charlotte (I guess it was the logo, *shrug*) when I was a tyke, before I could understand the rules of basketball. Maybe I should root for the Bobcats? Who knows.
This is where you come in! Make your case and appeal to me, and I will join your ranks as a humble fan of your glorious franchise.
Godspeed.
