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.

    • One thing about it, he's not thinking about retiring. I found it odd that some Huddlers were taking rumors and running with them, imagining a slow down and "up-playing" injuries. Moton feels great and is still in his prime according to him, and his game is still indicative of his thoughts.  Sure, it may ultimately come down to economics, but I am sure that everyone involved is motivated to keep him in Charlotte.
    • I think the knee stuff with Moton has been blown way out of proportion. The exact quote was “It’s chronic stuff. Most linemen deal with it. But it’s just figuring out what we can do to make sure it’s limited and I’m still able to explode off it, which right now I can and I feel like I can in the future,” After a while, you start learning more about it and what can we do to make sure it’s as little of an issue as possible. I feel like I’m moving like I was when I was younger.” I don't view that as a guy who's saying his knees are on their last leg I see that as a 10-year NFL olineman saying that obviously after 10 years of playing a really physical sport, he's never truly gonna be 100% healthy again and he's gonna need to spend more time with the training staff to ensure his body can continue to perform at a high level. I think Moton has another 3 to 5 years left if he wants to continue playing.   
    • So much crying. Tiresome. All of you should have had enough time to come to terms with the team picking up his 5th year...
