‘We need more Panthers players to step up.’


Gazi

Recommended Posts

Why should Panther players (human beings) be any different from anyone else?  This is a problem that we should all address.  When an authority figure, who we are supposed to respect, goes off the ranch, everyone, not just sports stars, should be upset.

To any and all of our players who might be lurking we say GET LOUD. We’ve always had your back on this. 

What does "GET LOUD" imply?

How does it manifest itself in day-to-day behaviour?

When it's all said and done, we'll come out of this with a better country.

Can we be better people, though, and see that it doesn't all go for naught?

Most people just don’t care.  They are busy living their “American Dream”.  But who needs to care are the cops.  This country has been moving in the right direction over the last decade but it seems the cops did not get the memo.

Seeing is believing and phone cameras have helped and hindered, but in these cases, there is no walking away from the shock of seeing someone who has authority over you blatantly violate the law he is there to uphold.  How to best crack the egg and fix these things will not be an easy fix with the bureaucracies that exist.  The country is overall a good place, but has not taken seriously the things it should have.  You cannot have a civil society with law enforcers being law breakers.  Just as all cops are not horrible, so goes with the rioters.  You cannot broad brush either group or you end up nowhere.  The hard part is the weeding out of individuals, or even entire staffs of law enforcement if they have been complicit.  It will be a long process.

The minority community has the ears of the country at this point, what will they do with it?  I hope something good.  This might even be a harder nut to crack.  Once you have the attention of those who need to hear you, stepping up with being part of the process of fixing these issues is next on the agenda.  Not sure I trust any DC politician to help the process at all.  They live from one election to the other making promises, only to keep power and not much changes.

I really feel that local level solutions might end up being better than DC solutions.  But again, I am not law enforcement, I am not African American and I despise politicians.  Injustice however, is not to be tolerated.

    • The good thing about replacing a bad player is you really have nothing to lose. If their replacement is bad so what, you didn't get much worse and probably saved money.  
    • I came over from the old Panthers Insider site. When Fox Sports bought that platform it slowly just started dying plus the guy who ran that site was dealing with some pretty significant health issues so the whole thing just slowly fell apart. Quite a few of us migrated over here. Not sure how many are still around.  I miss that place. It struck a nice balance of having enough active posters to keep productive conversation flowing but didn't have so much traffic that you end up with a lot of trolling BS. This place is getting there though since we shutdown new registrations but at some point we're going to have to open it back up or we'll watch this place slowly die off too as posters fall off for one reason or another. We just have to figure out a way to filter out the spam bots. It was a never ending battle to ban the spam bots to keep then from overrunning the site. You'd think they'd be a little more strategic. I mean, if you fill a site with nothing but spam people are just going to stop coming so it's not a sustainable model. But nope, every one of them makes dozens of duplicate threads filling up pages upon pages as soon as their account goes live.
    • lol...I don't remember that.  Although recalling what I had for breakfast yesterday is sometimes a challenge.  Hope it was a positive thing.
