‘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.

    • well, players dictating things only works if you have the right collection of players to dictate things.  and in all honesty, not sure if we can answer if we do or don't as fans given......there are no Thomas Davis types around that we know are actually about X and Y (based on years showing it).  Collective team is too new to us to know what these dudes are really about in terms of players carrying the burden of culture. 
    • Moore can be put in one of the vet spots on IR. No one will be checking for him at the start of the season. But I would be very perturbed if we tried to go all Gettlemagic and stash an obvious talent like Horn on practice squad like we did Butker. If we can get through this year, next year it will be obvious Moore and AT will be gone, starting namely with AT's contract.  
    • Culture change comes from the top down, not from drafting a 3 and no D guard. I doubt Lamelo is gonna take his cues from this 20yr old kid lol. If Brandon Miller couldn’t change the culture with how good he is and how much he hustles on both ends, Kon Knueppel sure as hell ain’t changing it. Ace Bailey by all accounts is also a great teammate and hard worker, btw, who was drafted by a team he supposedly didn’t want to go to yet he immediately bought in. And he’s got actual length and tools on both ends of the floor. I feel this pick is going to age like milk rather quickly.
