Charlotte Sting
November 11, 2013
The Sting were Charlotte’s Women’s National Basketball Association club for ten seasons between 1997 and 2006. In their best campaign, the Hornets overcame a slow start to reach the 2001 WNBA Finals, where they lost to the Los Angeles Sparks. The Sting were traditionally lagged in the WNBA attendance charts in relation to other clubs and the team fared poorly on the court in its final seasons as well. The Sting went out of business in January 2007.
Raleigh-Durham Skyhawks
December 21, 2011
The Raleigh-Durham Skyhawks were a dreadful entry in the NFL’s short-lived spring developmental league, the World League of American Football. With former N.C. State star and NFL MVP Roman Gabriel handling the coaching duties, the Skyhawks endured a winless 0-10 season in 1991. On the novelty side, the Skyhawks featured the very first (and very last) Soviet pro football players. The Skyhawks – and the Soviet Union – would both go out of business before 1991 was over.
