How many of your friends/family members have become "hardcore" Panther fans recently?

My sister's been pretty aggravating. Now all of a sudden once we got 10-0, she starts posting stuff about us on FB. I asked her has she actually seen any of the games.. and she tells me no. I'm like... you don't deserve to rep us so openly, you don't know how many years of trash I've watched to enjoy this moment lol. But, it comes with the territory.

Zero Panther fans in my family.  In fact, they don't even watch football with the exception of my sister and Aunt, but that's just college ball, and they're bandwagon fans, too.  

 

We have a lot of family parties on Sundays and my folks get pissed when I'm in the other room by myself watching the Panthers game instead of being in the living room "socializing" with them.  They just don't understand.  

 

Safe to say, I don't have a whole lot in common with my family.

I've been a Panthers fan since I was like 7, or 8. My step father and I would play Madden on the PS1  with my uncle. The first year I started playing, I liked the Panthers (because of their colors, and they were new). That was the simple foundation of my die-hard fandom now.

My step-father has been a die-hard Broncos fan his whole life. We lived together in New England for about 20 years, before I recently moved to the Tampa Bay area this year. He's rooting for the Panthers as much as I'm rooting for the Broncos. The dream of finally having our Panthers / Broncos Superbowl is very much alive, and I very much have one bandwagon fan I can claim direct responsibility for.

LOL yes. 
I went home for thanksgiving (Raleigh, Nc) and suddenly everyone is all Panthers and excited for the Cowboys game. Some of the same people that would ask why I followed the Panthers so closely if they sucked... smh

Just will take some getting used to.

Not sure how I feel about this. But...the wife has taken to sitting in on Panther games with me. I have to give her some credit, because she has actually taken upon herself to learn some of the game. She can be so cute when she wants to be.

 

Although I have to say. She still hasn't gotten the fact that football is a contact sport. She still wants to know if knocking people down is legal? She just hasn't grasped the fact that the guy with the ball is in danger.

my manager is a huge bucs fan, but after about week seven he's suddenly a bucs fan who pulls for the local team when they're not playing the bucs.

this is how you build fanbases. steal the marginal fans and the fence-sitters and galvanize their asses

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
    • 7 wins this year and some of those against really good teams and yall think Canales might get fired? Lol Good luck getting a better coach in here if that happens.
