Ever since Ric Flair attended the New Orleans Hornets game a few weeks ago, they play Flair doing "Whooo!" and the crowd also does "Whooo!" whenever Chris Paul scores, which is relatively often. It used to be when Baron Davis scored, but he's no longer with the team. It dates back to when they were the Charlotte Hornets and the owner, George Shinn, was friends with Flair.
Last Thursday on the TV show "TMZ", they showed the video of North Carolina congresswoman Sue Myrick paying homage to Ric Flair and they ran various video clips of him in their segment. The TMZ.com website ripped on the U.S. House of Representatives for the honoring of Ric Flair on Tuesday. "The economy has gone to crap. Our foreign policy is a disaster. So what is the House of Representatives doing to make the US of A a better place? Honoring Ric Flair, stupid!"
