The Charlotte Hornets have a transgender mascot

Hugo the hornet is the mascot for the Charlotte hornets. His Facebook page lists him as male, he has a male name, but he also has a stinger. Only females have stingers as they are modified ovipositors. This means he must have been born a female, and later transitioned to a male before becoming the mascot for the Charlotte Hornets. I suspect this was kept quiet at the time because transgender individuals dealt with even more bigotry back in 1988 when he was introduced, than they do today. The other possibility is that he is a male hornet, and does not actually have a stinger. This makes sense if you look at their record.

[AP] BREAKING: Charlotte Hornets forward turns himself in

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges turned himself in on Friday after an arrest warrant was issued for an alleged protection order violation stemming from a domestic violence case last year.

Bridges turned himself in early in the morning in Lincoln County, a suburb of Charlotte. He was accompanied by his attorney, according to Larry Seagle, the public information officer for the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office.

Bridges appeared before a district court judge and was released on $1,000 bond.

I'm Muggsy Bogues, former Starting Point Guard for the Charlotte Hornets. AMA!

Hi r/NBA! I'm Muggsy Bogues, the 5'3" former starting point guard for the Charlotte Hornets. I spent my entire childhood being told I should be doing anything else besides basketball -- then went on to make the All-ACC first team at Wake Forest and play 14 seasons in the NBA.

Being the shortest player to ever play in the league had its challenges, but as my mom once told me, people can’t measure your heart. That's something that I've tried to instill in Steph Curry, Chris Paul, Nate Robinson and the other young guys coming up, which you can read about in my recent interview with MEL Magazine. You can follow me on Instagram here, and be sure to check out my recently published memoir, Muggsy: My Life from a Kid in the Projects to the Godfather of Small Ball.

I’m here to answer any questions you’ve got — AMA!

EDIT (4:40 EST): I have to run, but if you have time before tuning into the game tonight, come check out the Muggsy Bogues Family Foundation, any donations go a long way to helping at-risk youth and families in need. Thanks for all the great questions r/NBA, this was a lot of fun!

THE CHARLOTTE HORNETS HAVE BEEN ELIMNATED FROM CHAMPIONSHIP CONTENTION

With a blowout loss to the Pacers today, the Charlotte Hornets have been eliminated from the 2nd play-in game, and therefore the playoffs.

After a great showing all year from potentional ROTY LaMelo Ball and flashes of greatness from Terry Rozier and Gordon Hayward, their run has come to an end.

First play-in game loser!

The Charlotte Hornets have a better record than the Boston Celtics

The hornets are currently at 20-18 whilst the celtics are 20-19.

Crazy to think at the start of this year I don't think a single person would have put the Hornets above the Celtics at any point of the season and yet here we are after the all star break with the bean town boys a .5 of a game behind. Hayward and Rozier must be feeling vindicated.

The Charlotte Hornets have waived former first-round pick Kai Jones, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium.

Seems like he wanted out of Charlotte as badly as Charlotte wanted off of him. But the question now is: Does any team take a chance on Kai Jones after this behavior?

China just beat an NBA franchise for the first time, the Charlotte Hornets, 84-80.

Just when I thought things couldn't get worse for my NBA franchise. This happens. Charlotte rested Miles Bridges, my favorite breakfast food, Graham and others, but I don't care it still sucks. Hold me.

Box Score

Edit: not the first time, ESPN misspoke on the broadcast, China's 85-84 over Shannon Brown and the Cavs in 07
