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.

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      https://nfltraderumors.co/2026-nfl-draft-grades-for-all-32-teams/      Grade: B+ Best Pick: Sam Hecht Biggest Reach (consensus rank): Jackson Kuwatch (NR) It's easy to love what Carolina did. The Panthers traded four times but ended the draft with the same number of selections that they started with and in approximately the same ranges. They did not take a player ahead of the consensus until Kuwatch at No. 227, and it's easy to see how he fell through the cracks playing at Miami of Ohio. He's a high-end athlete, though, and has a chance to develop, which is a fine profile for a seventh-rounder. Freeling and Brazzell also checked the high-end athleticism upside boxes for the Panthers. Carolina let the board come to them in the first round and could have a long-term solution at left tackle, which is a hard position to fill. Brazzell slid because of some maturity concerns as well as the difficulty in projecting receivers from Tennessee's Mickey Mouse offense. At 6-4, 200 pounds and 4.37 in the 40, though, the upside is undeniable. On top of that, the landed three starters on Day 3. Normally that's a high and unrealistic bar, but Hecht and Wheatley were both firmly inside the top 100 on the consensus board and have paths to win starting competitions. Lee fits the scheme well and has some interesting traits as an outside corner. What stopped me from a full-out A grade is not loving the Hunter pick, though he does fill a need to replace DT A'Shawn Robinson. There were prospects at other needs positions I would have been more jazzed about. The Brazzell pick is also an interesting risk for a team that's still in building mode, even coming off an NFC South title. Still, I'm nitpicking

      I was just a teenager when I joined in 2013. I've loved the many opinions on this forum, even though several are infuriating. I've had several bad takes, myself,  that I've hopefully grown out of over the years.
