Emily is complaining as if she was FORCED to buy Panthers shirts for her kids to wear to school yesterday. 

YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO BUY THE SHIRTS!

I do understand this though. A little bit. All the other kids have t-shirts except yours. Kid is bummed, other kids pick on them or laugh because they couldn't afford one. However, it's part of life. Your kid is gonna face upset. All Panther's shirts are not outrageously expensive tho. I don't see why they couldn't have got one of those.

Agreed.

Emily just wants to complain and have people feel sorry for her.

But shouldn't the tread be titled how she is fed up with the schools/school system who are encouraging the kids to wear Panthers gear...not the Panthers themselves.

It sounds like she is more concerned about where the money is going than how much money is being charged. She's making it about economic politics. She could find a way to show support for the Panthers on a budget. I don't think she wants to support the Panthers though.

I don't see anything wrong with the title.

In her tweet, she complains about showing spirit for a multi billion dollar industry and that industry she is referring to is the Carolina Panthers.

    • Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field. 
    • At least we don't need to hear overreacting about towels ...
    • Actually there is, try being a Charlotte Hornets fan. I mean the team fuging moved at its peak and hasn't recovered since and that was 25 years ago
