It would be a cool list if the freakin' Hornet's weren't ranked third. WTF?

I guess its becuase what they are doing this year and what they have done for New Orleans.

[Buddy Holly]

Not really, they're pretty bad in every category expect two, which relate to cost of the games.

Yeah, it's pretty stupid to see a team that high where a hurricane went through a couple of years ago and said team has been integral in the community since returning to said city.

You're an idiot.

I'm the idiot? Look jackass, hating on me for simple spite is ing idiotic. Did you bother to read the after you clicked on the link?

This wasn't "Yearly Franchise Rankings Based On Pitty" or "Which Franchise Is More Integral To Their City" ranking.

The criteria has to do all with the team/franchise and has nothing to do with the city, its cir stance or anything else.

New Orleans did pretty poorly in everything except being ranked 1 in the following two categories.

• BNG (Bang for the Buck): Wins over the past three years per revenues directly from fans
  
• AFF (Affordability): Price of tickets, parking and concessions

Yeah, you're totally right.

Except being ranked in the top 11 in two other categories, and 29th in a third.

I said pretty poorly. I wasn't blind to the 11 or the 9 but those two 1's are what gave them the three position and the entire point for my post that you quoted me on was that the Hurricane, its aftermath and the cir stances had nothing to do with those rankings.
