I agree, there needed to be a compromise with using the fella name and keeping the lightning name.

I also agree, however if you are the one spending the money, you are the one who makes the decision.

By causing this controversy, Fellas has already got great bang for their buck even before the season begins.

If they agree to give back the Lightning name they will get even more free exposure to the media, which would be the smart thing to do.

The classic in the whole thing is sixers management writing a letter to BOti asking him to call the team the Fellas, with the letter on Lightning letterhead! Hilarious.

Typical BASA mis-management that one with the letterhead. Just when you think they can't get worse, they pull out the big guns.

Maybe that's what the rise in junior admission fees is for...new letterhead!

And I love it that the CEO doesn't even know where the name "Lightning" came from!

And I do like the apron with boobs on it too!
