Soccer fans believe they can be more active than Nascar fans. Thus, if they can make this sub forum more active within the next few weeks, it will belong solely to them. The Nascar forum will be no more and lost into the abyss.

This is bullshit

The last post in here was a few weeks ago and it's the middle of the Nascar season with the Charlotte race just finished last week.

This sub forum is a wasteland.

Great, the one sport dumber than NASCAR.

 

How exactly is it a dumb sport?

 

 

It's the most popular sport throughout the entire world. Outside of America, it's revered for it's exciting play, chess-match tactics, and intelligent players. I just don't get why so many folks just instantly discredit such a terrific game. I mean, where else but the World Cup can you honestly say you are the World Champion? No other sport can boast inclusion of the top countries going head to head.

Because they don't understand the sport.

You mean like when they post sports in the Olympics?

Soccer sucks. It's a game for poverty countries.

Bad NASCAR is more popular is the USA.

Poverty countries? The whole Western Europe live, breath and eat soccer. Might wanna check ur facts again.

NASCAR is poo compared to Formula 1. NASCAR popular only down south for a reason.

This isn't Europe.

NASCAR > Formula 1

Formula 1 cars ate incredible pieces of machinery but it's about the most boring thing ever. After the first 15 seconds it's just a bunch of cars following each other from 100ft apart.

NASCAR isn't just popular in the south, per ESPN...

In 2014, 35 percent of fans call the NFL their favorite sport, followed by Major League Baseball (14 percent), college football (11 percent), auto racing (7 percent), the NBA (6 percent), the NHL (5 percent) and college basketball (3 percent).

Where's soccer?

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
