Darin Gantt thinks conference championship rings are silly

[tiger7_88]

At least, since the Panthers have won a conference championship.

The Panthers got their conference championship rings (which probably shouldn’t even be a thing that exists).

I googled "darin gantt conference championship rings" and, oddly enough, couldn't find any mention of Gantt's now-vocal dislike of conference championship rings... until now.

Weird.

he loves to troll Panthers fans

it's that participation trophy mentality. the panthers players got superbowl participation rings and now they will lose all motivation to play for a championship because millenials think that participation trophies are the same thing as winning and america is going down the tubes because of the pussification of america and entitlement by tech-addled brats who don't want to pay their dues vote for donald trump.

Anyone my age (40) who bitches about participation trophies is full of poo. If anyone remembers childhood from the late 70s/early 80s everyone had racks of participation trophies from soccer, Basketball, baseball, swimming. Highschool letter jackets are participation trophies. What we really worked for was the gold medals, etc

nonsense. make america great again

I agree with him. Not to say that its SB or bust because that takes away from the best year in franchise history, but its a 2nd place ring.

This would have been good, but you probably should have backed it down to about 80% to be  effective.  The 120% method makes it too obvious.  :P

2nd place is the first loser trophy :P

[Donald LaFell]

they seem a little odd. I think NFC champion is something to be proud of but the rings are kind of dumb. 

[tiger7_88]

I guess me being a college football fan doesn't make this such a big deal to me.

Win the SEC?  Get SEC Champion rings.  

Its a TITLE.  You won it ON THE FIELD.  And you worked DAMN HARD to do it.

In other words, DESERVED.

Gantt sucks and is still bitter about the Panthers, but on this particular subject I don't disagree. 

[uncfan888]

I wish they'd quit putting him on primetime. Just hearing his voice makes me want to change the station 

[TheSpecialJuan]

What's his problem?

[Fox007]

LOL

You were conference champions...it's like winning state but not nationals..of fugin course we got state rings....stupid people gonna stupid.

OMFG a pennant for winning your league in baseball too...murica's pastime...yea total participation trophy been doing it since the late 1800s. fugin derp ass.

Don't think Gantt's pussy ass played any sports to even know the difference between a part trophy and a ring for something...he damn sure obviously didn't win.
