Holy cow, there is "projecting" going on involving a message board about an NFL team?  WTF else does any poster on here have to do if not projecting or complaining about projecting while indeed projecting?   

And whether the call is stupidity or malice or even a combination of both it is certainly a relevant talking point.  What is wrong with this board where so much energy is spent certifying which topics are worthy of discussion and which one's are not?

Here is Person's take on it (pay wall)  https://theathletic.com/2828732/2021/09/15/person-what-happened-to-the-keep-pounding-chant-for-the-panthers-in-week-1-and-will-it-return/

There are a few things in Charlotte that should not be messed with: craft breweries, Bojangles and bankers’ hours.

As for the local football team, at least two things are generally considered sacred — natural grass and anything related to Sam Mills. And in the space of a few months, the Panthers have botched both of them.

On the same day the Panthers played their first regular-season game on artificial turf at Bank of America Stadium, they ditched the coordinated “Keep Pounding” pre-game chant that both fired up the home crowd and paid homage to Mills, the franchise’s only player to have his number (51) retired.

It’s unclear whether it was an oversight by the team’s entertainment division or the Panthers simply decided to do away with what’s become a popular part of the game-day experience. As of Wednesday afternoon, team officials were mum on what happened before Sunday’s opener against the Jets.

Update: A Panthers spokesman said the goal is to have the “Keep Pounding” chant evolve to the point where fans don’t need any prompting to start it. The team plans to coordinate the chant for this week’s game against the Saints, but won’t necessarily do so for every home game.


of course it’s a topic worth discussing. It’s just annoying how fast it went from ...

The team didn’t initiate the chant for this ONE game to ....

Tepper personally axed it to make more money and because he hates Carolinians and wants to move the team.

C’mon. 
 

BTW..I’m not defending Tepper, just basic reason.

ok, I see the irritation with conspiracy theorists.  I just ignore them like I have been doing during elections and covid anyway so I am getting pretty damn good at it.

I have been a fan of Tepper but the buck stops at his desk and he has some work to do.

I will say, even as a NC native myself...I was completely blindsided by how different SC is.  Not a fan at all, personally...but again, that stems primarily from the political divide and the implications of that.

Its visually different.  The flora changes from deciduous forests with dark soil to Pine trees and sand.  Political crap aside, its most likely that we are lumped as "the Carolinas" when there is no correlation other than proximity.

To be clear, we dont chase SC folks back down when they wander up this way.  Its still friendly(-ish).  My wife is from SC, so there's that.

Not that I agree with the decision to remove the stadium initialized chant before the game but I have always felt, having attended various sporting events, that organic chants of the same variety always felt more satisfying than the ones that are contrived through the video board or signs. Having said that, most arenas/stadiums have a healthy mix of both. Almost all popular chants are lead by the team/stadium at some point during the game.

Sort of...

Is he ultimately responsible for the entire organization? Yeah.

Does that means he's directly involved with every aspect of the team on a daily basis?

Not really.

It's possible someone in stadium operations just plain screwed up and Tepper wouldn't know anything about it.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
