Pop probably told them he didn’t want it
I say this is as someone who loves everything Pop has meant to the team and the city. There is no reason to name a semi-major airport after a basketball coach.
Now if we want to have a Duncan Donuts in the airport we can talk.
Change the airport identifier to POP
Not everybody wants to be memorialized
> without saying why
Because Pop threatened to unleash the nasty on them if they went through with it. I doubt he likes the idea. Doesn’t seem very “Pop” to enjoy the idea of people naming shit after him.
Pop is the type to be happy with a Bench in his name.. not a whole airport lol
I can’t even imagine Pop would even want this
Maybe cuz Pop aint dead yet
Maybe a new basketball arena, not an airport.
I KNOW IT WAS COACH POP
Pop would probably tell them to buy a park and name it after him, and to shove all the bureaucratic red tape bullshit and get bent. And then do that smile he used to do, the “I busted your balls, and we both know I’m right, so let’s move on?” smile.
