Unlike our neighbours across the Shannon in Clare we are not a city known for our tradition or culture but, more so, for our lack of table manners, hence the moniker “Stab City”. Many people might point out that this nickname came about because of a love of sticking the pointy end into people but we like to think of it more as clumsy people falling against the aforementioned pointy end. Recently there has been a distinct fall in the number of knife involved accidents as our brethren across the pond in NBAland have furnished us with sawn off shotguns and pistols and we would like to pay them back by establishing the Stab City Warriors.
The team will be bankrolled by Paddy “Spud” Murphy who has passed the fit-and-proper persons test by renouncing violence and promising to give up his share of the heroin trade.
We will be known as The Warriors because that is how we see ourselves when we’re kicked out of the pub at closing time on a Saturday night and don’t try telling us any different. Conor McGregor has nothing on us!
Times are changing for Limerick, newly crowned All-Ireland senior hurling champions, and with a new NBA franchise in the city we will no longer be “that city best seen through the back window of a bus” (Lonely Planet) but as a rising star on the NBA landscape and a name to feared.
