Bad news on top of bad news: Is this the worst period in Charlotte pro sports history?

Carolina Panther Robbie Anderson had a petulant sideline fit Sunday and got traded Monday. That was exactly one week after Panther head coach Matt Rhule got fired, and on the very same day that the arrest of Charlotte Hornet James Bouknight for driving while impaired was made public.

How was much of this news greeted in Charlotte?

With a little shock, yes, but also a lot of shrugs. The Queen City has become almost numb to bad news about Charlotte’s three professional sports teams, because there’s just been so much of it recently.
