Any concerns of protests this Sunday?

This question pertains to the area of Charlotte in general on Sunday.  I travel in for games around twice a year, and this week is one of them.  I am worried about protests of any kind.  What say you?  Has the reaction that the area saw last night come to an end, or will it crank back up when crowds are bigger to have more impact?

I was at the Charlotte Knights game last year when BLM protested outside of the stadium.  It was unnerving. I was there with my 9 year old daughter and following the game, they kept us locked in the stadium for 15 minutes or so because some of the protesters were getting violent. They finally got the riot gear out and made a safe exit for us out one entrance. Last thing I needed my kid to see is cops in riot gear at a goddamn baseball game. She was really scared as neither of us knew WTF was going on outside the stadium.

So #1, yes I would expect something, and #2, keep your kids away if they are planned for the day. Take the kids apple picking or something and DVR the game.

I was also in Minneapolis last year when BLM protested at the Twin Cities Marathon. At least they did it the right way. Peacefully and respectful of the athletes (although they planned to actually interfere/stop the race, some smart folks convinced them that would be a really bad idea).  They were out there but they weren't trying to intimidate cops and turn the marathon into a sh it show.

A lot depends on what happens between now and Sunday I think. The police should release the video and be totally transparent.

Not going to happen.  More than one video.  And those videos may be part of a criminal prosecution, asking for a video to be released will fall on deaf ears.  

As for the protests, there shouldn't be anything to worry about.  But if you want to avoid any possible situation, then stay home.

      Bryce Young has now played one full seasons worth of games since returning from his benching in 2024

      By frankw · Posted

      Well hold on let's pause for a second and establish some things first since we're on the subject of "cop outs with no room for nuance". Our own QB has 37 games under his belt. Many of them are either subpar or just plain bad. We only just this past Sunday won our 2nd road game in his career. But months and months of contentious discussion since his rookie season has largely resulted in the oft used argument that Bryce Young's struggles were due to the coaching and players around him and ultimately he couldn't be blamed But now apparently it seems like you folks have fully tossed that out and are actively blaming Stroud while wholly omitting contributing circumstances around him. So which is one it????? As far as Brees. Look I've got to be direct here. I cannot stand that guy. But I would have to concede that he had a significantly better arm than Bryce Young. I mean it's not even close. Plus as much as it annoys me to say it's clear Drew Brees wasn't afraid to hit the weight room either. And Baker has obviously always had arm talent that showed on the tape even when he was struggling or being a tool. Acknowledging all of this is the first step in gaining a firm footing in reality with the rest of us.

      I know one thing. I would have Horn active this week. If he gets behind the defense Andy will get that ball down there.

      I think if we were 2-5 right now and finished 6-11 then that would be more understandable. But at this point.. 4-3 entering week 8. They have to at least finish 7-10 or it’s going to look like they fell apart. Finishing 7-10 still means we go 3-7 down the stretch.
