Not that I really care about the interview but why did he continue questioning the Pats & Seahawk fans on Falcon history after they stated they weren't Falcon fans? Seemed like a troll job. Lol. 

 

It tripped me out that the lady from SC was a dang Seahawks fan. I was sitting here thinking to myself "How...?"

Proof or it didn't happen.

Oh my goodness, the fact was in CA and there multiple reports about the noticeable absence of Panthers fans at the events by ESPN and NFL network  if you watched any of the pregame experience you would have heard it too  

denver had a huge following in CA.

Well, duh , of course there would be a lack of Panthers fans in Cali considering its all the way across the country. Also, Denver having more fans at the Superbowl than Panthers fans is also not surprising considering how much closer Colorado was. This video was actually done IN Atlanta, so completely different circumstances.

That's a really old video, and not even from the 2016 season. In fact, I don't even believe that it was made during football season in 2015. The fact that ESPN would take time to pile on the Atlanta fanbase using this video, shows just how petty and sensationalistic they are. Are people suppose to walk around in their fan gear during the middle of the week? Who wears their jersey on 90 degree days in downtown anywhere? I'm not saying the Falcon fanbase is great, and I won't defend them, because I too think the fanbase as a whole could be better. However, this video is ridiculous. You could go to many other NFL cities and this would be the same story there too. I've been to games in Tampa and Jacksonville and they are far worse in showing their support. I saw many empty seats at Steelers games this season. My brother-in-law is a diehard Giants fan and season ticket holder, and he said that you'd be amazed at how many empty seats they have at their games.

      Is Charlotte the worst sports city right now?

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I went to Canes games back in '04 & '05 when you were probably still a swimmer waiting to make your dad a father. There was no one there bc they sucked. Some of the lowest attendance in the NHL. As a Panthers fan coming off a SB season (03-04), I couldn't even believe they put a hockey team in Raleigh, and given the attendance, a lot of people speculated they would be relocated somewhere back up north where they would be supported and not "Mayberry." Seriously, educate youself.  That is reality. That being said, comparing that environment to 2024 Canes would be disingenuous. I was at PNC last year and know how great the current environment is. Comparing the current environment at BOA to 10 years ago is just as disingenuous.  Just bc you didn't witness how good BOA is when the Panthers are actually decent doesn't change reality. Seriously, surely you see that coming from such an elitist environment like the globally renowned world-class city of Raleigh, NC... I guarantee you if you went to a Canes game and a Panthers game in 2005, the difference would be unreal bc the Panthers were awesome and the Canes were (at the time) a moribund franchise. I have been in BOA when the whole stadium was rocking. You simply are young, don't know what you're talking about, but want to portray yourself as having knowledge about things you simply don't. You have a lot in common with modern day politicians and televangelists Like I said, Idiocracy has prevailed... Have a great day too!

      Let it all out bro.   At the end of the day Charlotte fans just aren't that passionate as other fans. The Panthers and Hornets crowds are wack.    Go to a Canes game and you will understand this. Tell the family I said hi and Happy Father's Day.

      Dude you have no idea what you're talking about. Best place to live?  LMAO... that's your criteria...  Charlotte gets put all over those lists too... come on man... and those lists have zero to do with sports. I'm done after this bc I'm punching down intellectually here... The Panthers have been bad for 6 years now. You are obviously young and not overly educated based off the "dunks" you're putting out there that certainly are, so let me educate you today on the Panthers. The Panthers sold out for well over a decade straight. BOA has been as good an environment as there is when the team is good.  Fan support for the Panthers has been incredible when the team has even remotely reciprocated. The idea that Charlotte doesn't support the Panthers is utter BS. People in Raleigh have the biggest little brother syndrome of all time... Nobody outside of the Triangle cares about any of your "vaunted" sports team outside of Duke-UNC in basketball on a national scale. Sure, the Canes are great. But nationally, the WWE dwarfs the NHL in ratings. More people care about Cody Rhodes than Sebastian Aho... or anyone else in the NHL for that matter... I doubt less than 5% of anyone in this state outside of Raleigh even knows who that is... that's a knock on Aho who is a great player, it's just the NHL barely makes a ripple in the overall hierarchy of American sports. It's not in the same universe as the NFL or NBA no matter how badly you want to tell yourself otherwise. Raleigh is not a big-time sports city, no matter how much you want to scream into the abyss about it. Neither is Charlotte. But no one here is making such a nonsense argument... LOL it's good to be young and to be ignorant enough to be confidently wrong... WTF are you even on this board though since Charlotte is so beneath you? There is an actual discussion board on this very site for Raleigh sports since they are so superior...  Maybe it's bc I'm watching Idiocracy with my son, but your timing is perfect, my man... The dumbest among us have become the most confidence in their ignorance... God Bless America!!
