Another PFT article on the banner shennanigans (worth a look)

Great example of how tight the team is.

This Cam Newton/banner story is frankly silly.

But the reaction it has created from his teammates has been impressive, and may speak to the solidarity that has helped them run out to an 8-0 start.

A number of teammates have stepped forward to take the blame for Newton, who said he was just trying to “protect this house,” when he pulled down a Packers banner hanging over the lower level of Bank of America Stadium during pre-game warmups.

Again, the aggrieved owner of the banner doesn’t have much of a beef, since the team has a clear, written policy against banners supporting opposing teams.

you know, this is more than likely going to result in more signs and banners from opposing teams.

Now that there is a controversy you can bet that stadium management will be looking to make sure every single one is removed as are Cam's wishes.

No banners or flags expressing support of visiting teams may be affixed to or displayed on any surface. Hand held signs or posters that are in compliance with the balance of this policy are acceptable.

I fully expect the stadium crews were briefed and will now be looking for these stupid banners.

    • With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.
    • Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.
    • Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
