What if it was the Panthers relocating....

I remember the speculation in the teams down years, that JR would pull up roots and go to LA. Well the Rams are going and leaving the city and fan base blowing in the wind. They have been in St.Louis for twenty one years ( as long as the Panthers have been around).  

I can only imagine the hate and sorrow that the die hard fans are feeling upon losing their team. Not a good look for the SOB owner and the NFL. I know it's a business and money talks, but it just doesn't seem right.  If we where in their shoes, it would be awlfull for the state , city, and fanbase. RIP ST.Louis Rams.

Like you can't watch every Panthers game on tv? Congrats on living like the rest of us who moved out of NC

It's more than that. I'm not so sure I would be able to continue my dedicated fandom had they up and left the QC. Not saying I wouldn't but I can't say for sure, would definitely be devastating.

Assuming that NC did everything they could to reasonably keep them. I would feel betrayed as a fan, which means I would likely look elsewhere for a #1 team to closely follow and support. 

Once a team abandoneds you, I think it's reasonable to switch teams to cheer for. I moved out of NC, however I stayed loyal to the Panthers. 

I would probably still loosely follow them, but I would be done supporting them in any way financially. Let's hope that never happens!

Now they have to stay in Charlotte to retain your love? Can't move to Raleigh or SC?

If the Panthers ever moved then I would cease following the NFL for the balance of my natural life, even if Charlotte got a new team shortly there after.  When the Hornets moved and they gave us a new team I follwed the new one but I have never felt the same passion, and I was a lot younger then so it was easier to get back into it.

At this point in my life if a team of mine just up and moved then that would be that, much like when the NHL cancelled a season.  I use to love hockey, without it I found better things to do with my time and I have not even watched five games in the decade it has been back.

    • Through 2 games cltfc has 12 shot attempts. Opponents 23 shots on target. Attack sucks, Defense definitely sucks. Kahlina is the only reason they haven't given up 14 goals in two games. 
    • I met a few times--never liked him. I figured he might have had a bad day--but then realized that he must have a lot of bad days. Once he raised his voice at my son because my son did not understand a question when SS was signing his jersey.  I wanted the jersey to represent his encounter with a Panther great, not some small man with a bad attitude.  I told me son, "Forget it.  He was asking you what your name is (My son was about 7 and told me that he thought Smitty was going to write (my son's) name on the jersey.  He said "Dad, I thought he was supposed to write HIS name on the jersey, not mine."  I said, "He was personalizing it, writing it to you--like a birthday card."  He is now grown, and he has a steve smith Jersey that is framed and matted.  He keeps it is his closet.  I asked him, "Why not have that out on your wall?"  He said, "All I remember is an A-hole scribbled on my shirt.  I don't remember a legend or hero.  But he had a Jake Delhomme Jersey on his wall.  "Jake was great.  I will always remember that."  (Jake stayed and talked to us for about 5 minutes or more--GREAT guy.)
    • Is it possible for someone to regress in maturity as they age or has Steve really just been a jerk his entire life?
