I wonder what the reaction would be at the Chicago fire when someone tried to explain that although our actual name is UNC Charlotte but we want to be known as just Charlotte for athletics. Maybe some eye rolling and simply ignoring it because it’s too much info coming at them for a simple school name correction?

Technically their name is Chicago Fire Soccer Club or Chicago Fire SC. I have NEVER seem them represented as such in any official fashion. They should understand.

What’s sad is we apparently paid for this tweet. (#spon)

Experience a slice of Cuban culture on 4/21 at @unccharlotte's Green Tie Gala & raise $ for UNC students. $50. (link: http://bit.ly/2lMh0xe) bit.ly/2lMh0xe #spon

They updated it:

clt says we should think about a name change.

It looks like they took down the post (which is strange because they could have easily just edited it), but Belfast Mill had a Facebook post advertising the UNC vs NC State baseball game downtown tonight… ::slight_smile:

“University of North Carolina, Charlotte”

~ Aren’t ignorant celebs sooooo cute? ~ Hell a lot of people who SHOULD know, don’t even know the Panthers and Hornets play here, and have for YEARS. Guess our NFL and NBA teams need to step up their MARKETING.

Still true but the announcement of his pick at the draft on espn got it right by just saying CHARLOTTE, like Temple, Vanderbilt, etc. Was nice to hear. Go Larry!!!

“Carolina” has been playing football for over 100 years. As one of their founding players, and having started every game, Larry is just the kind of ironman Browns fans are going to love.
