A message I posted on a Bronco forum.

The experience I had at Sports Authority for our Thursday night match up was the worst experience I have ever had in any sports stadium, bar none, and overall made me lose faith as a fan of the NFL and of the team of my home state, the Broncos. I had sat in the upper levels next to a couple of cool fans, but everyone else was pretty awful in my section. It started out with being taunted through every moment of the game, pointing myself and other Panther fans in the section, screaming expletives at us, telling us to leave their stadium, and standing up and yelling at us if we did not respond to their stupid remarks about how Cam Newton is a baby, or when they were behind, about how we lost the Super Bowl and the game we were watching didn't matter. Now, I can handle a little heckling, hell, it comes with the territory, to a point, if this was a couple of times, it would have been nothing, this was the ENTIRE GAME. One fan even going so far as to throwing his sunglasses at a Panther fan who was cheering. I did not provoke them, and was extremely calm, I did contact the staff services/security, who didn't ever end up showing up, but it did not stop. 

Another thing I had a huge problem with was the cheering for injuries, not just for Cam Newton, but for your own player! When Brandon Marshall went down, my whole section, and even a large part of the stadium started cheering! On top of the remarks about Cam Newton dying, breaking his jaw, and being an expletive of the African American variety. This is awful at any level, and when I heard a loud majority cheering with the injury, it made me truly ashamed. On top of the fact that the Bronco players them selves, were targeting the head of Cam Newton, but that is a whole different topic. 

After the game I left the stadium, being met with threats of violence twice, and even breaking up a fight between a Bronco fan and a Panther fan, the Bronco fan threatening to end the Panther fan's life. Walking down the trail to the light rail, I was ran up to and screamed at as well, including telling people to move out of the way of the losers (I was walking with two other Panther fans), and even cutting in front of us in line in the light rail, stating that since we were #2 we get to pick after them. 

I have been on this forum for years, am a native Colorado, and have never had a bad experience with Bronco fans, so I really have no reason to be dishonest, and am truly shocked at the environment I was in, and the way the Bronco fans behaved.

I call BS. You even think about getting belligerent in that stadium and you've got 2903485 people around you calling the hotline. I've seen drunk dumbasses ejected routinely, both Broncos fans and fans of other teams. 

Sorry, but your story doesn't add up.

One of the staff looked over in our direction and waved his finger, but then turned around and watched the game. I have screenshots of me alerting staff. I wish this was BS.

Dont tell me about them then, go ahead and post 'em......

Like I said, the staff there has no problems ejecting people being belligerent. They would have at the absolute worst went and warned them.

Sorry, but I don't believe you, and nobody else should either. Cool story though......

Not sure what to tell you buddy. Looks to me like they never got your message on where the incident occurred.

Interesting that you waited until 15- 20 minutes before the game ended to report something that had been going on the entire game. Lemme guess, right after the last CJ touchdown? lol

They replied...? So they did get the message. That is when the fan threw the sunglasses at a Panther fan, this crossed the line for me.

They asked you the seat number, and you got an error message when you texted back. They never got it.

 

Lemme guess, the Panther fan was just sitting there, saying their rosaries lol

Why shouldn't anybody believe it? The way Bronco fans have been acting since the superbowl has been atrocious. I've seen the all sorts of immature and down right disgusting things come from their fans. I saw first hand people that had been representing the Bronco's on their pages for multiple years post comments trying to defend the helmet shots to Cam in the game. Not to mention throwing out all the same BS insults that only the ignorant fools actually believe about Cam, "He is selfish, Me first, not a team player, etc, etc...". Hell most of the offseason was them bashing the Panthers for losing the SB as opposed to celebrating their victory. The real question is why should we believe you when the way Bronco fans have represented themselves to us state otherwise.

There was more to the text,they asked if I needed security, and then nothing else. One attendant came up and shook his finger, like I said.

The Panther fans were cheering for the Panthers, nothing more.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By SCMunnerlyn1 · Posted

      Just as we won those close games we could have just as easily lost them. So the jury is out on if we were more lucky than good ( see the sweep by the saints) Were moving forward on paper. And how badly dont we all want to see us back to at least Above average form. Its about time.

      Ranked Panthers as the Best this year!!

      By frankw · Posted

      If you're looking for a pat on the back it sounds good in theory until you realize they also had the 2023 Panthers as the top draft class.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Going into the 2003 and 2015 seasons we were supposed to be the joke of the league each time. In 2003, John Fox was supposed to still be in rebuild mode. We had a guy named Peppers on the defensive line who was supposed to be pretty good. We had Rodney Peete as our starting QB and a line that was a lot of hope and not much experience. Our new running back was a guy the Redskins, errrr Commanders, had jettisoned for being too old. We had a good kicker and writers thought that was needed because there were going to be more field goals than touch downs. Heck, it looked like they were right up until just before halftime of that first game when we had to yank Rodney Peete and put in some Cajun duded whose name couldn't be pronounced. And Steve Smith? He wasn't Smitty yet. Moose Muhammad, well, he was close to being written off as a bust. You know how that turned out. And then in 2015, we had Cam Newton, who was electrifying to watch but hadn't really won anything yet. There was an offensive line in front of him that looked like it was made in a defunct Swiss cheese factory and our big hope on offense was the great Kelvin Benjamin. And then he got taken out for the year with a knee injury in training camp. Ted "Feet of Lightning, Hands of Stone" Ginn became our default go to guy beside our next best hope, yeah, Devin Funchess. Our defense was pretty good, a scrappy bunch with frikkin' awesome linebacker play and a cornerback who had done more than drank the Kool-Aid, but had snorted the powder. He played like a superhero and became sort of a bat-man during the season. By the Super Bowl he had completely lost his freaking mind, though, and managed to talk his way out of a contract with the team next year. No one was expecting us to win the NFCSouth that season, much less almost go undefeated and into the Super Bowl. So, 2026? Who knows? But our best seasons came when no one had a reason to believe in us, except us.
