so you lived in Tennessee before there were pro franchises? And that proves what exactly? I’ve lived in Tennessee 34 years, half before pro franchises and half without.
people on this board want a pro franchise in Louisville. They don’t consider anything other than that. So why you think any of this is relevant is beyond me.
you obviously don’t know much about the apathy the Titans and Grizzlies caused here. But MANY people in the areas around here will tell you it did. The nickname of Tennessee around these areas is the University of Eastern Tennessee. As I said, kids don’t wear UT or Memphis hats, they wear Titans and Grizzlies hats. Growing up it was all tigers in Memphis, through good seasons and bad. Memphis is all Grizzlies country now.
I’m not going to keep arguing this point to you. You don’t know anything about it, you aren’t from here, you just want an NBA team in Louisville.
Many of the places you mentioned are major market and support both, but are definitely majority pro areas. And the panthers aren’t in South Carolina lol.
Alabama and kentucky are unique because their college teams are the only show in town. I’d prefer it stay that way.
