The "Ask a Panther Fan" Thread

[USMCHawk]

So do Panther fans feel any affinity for the Jaguars, since they're your sister expansion team?

but clearly the statue and your logo is a black panther...so the rest of those cats shouldn't really count...no?

Oh you mean like the Lions you see roaming around Detroit, the Bears in Chicago or the Tigers in Cincinnati?

Panthers are cool, that's why... they're like the ninjas of the animal kingdom.

Hawk, why does the Pike Place market smell like your pussy? Or is this the wrong thread?

Same affinity you feel for Tampa.

[CatMan72]

I understand, it's cool to have an indigenous mascot... of course nobody knows what the hell a "Seahawk" is or why it looks so constipated in your logo, but I get it.

[Mother Grabber]

go Carolina Cottonmouths

[USMCHawk]

Same affinity you feel for Tampa.

So none whatsoever.

So none whatsoever.

 

Pretty much. Kind of hard to feel anything for a place where all the $h!t from Georgia drains into the ocean.

A black panther isn't a particular animal like a giraffe. It's a cougar (or puma), jaguar, or leopard with a melanistic color.

So yes, the rest of those cats should count.

With the exception of the Florida Panther (which is actually a cougar), all Panthers are black. Panther is literally a term for a black cat of the panthera genus... typically a black jaguar, leopard, and sometimes a cougar.

It's possible there are black cougars in NC, which is probably where the sightings come from... and could be called a panther, even though it's really not part of the panthera genus.

I know some black cougars in NC. But it's cool. Black don't crack.

Also Hawk is cool too. He seems to remain neutral for being a Seahawks fan.

all I've learned so far is that there's no such place as Carolina and that a Panther is the same as a Jaguar and a Puma and a Leopard and that most panther fans are really defensive!

The Carolina Stinkbugs would be a fitting name now.
