It’s a free country, last time I checked. I’m welcome to do as I please. 

I didn't say to leave.  I asked you why spend time here, when you are literally the very opposite of a Panthers fan.

Would you want the NFL to push for a franchise in North Carolina. A fast and growing market for sure. Would you rather see a MLB team here? Chances of Tepper moving are slim at best, but you never know with the mess going on now. 

I have lost faith in the ownership here. The anticipated state of the art practice facility is not going to happen. Tepper wants public funds to built a new stadium, that also won't happen. 

Would the NFL even approve a move out of this market? Never say never. Anything is possible.

I really wouldn’t care anymore. I hardly watch. If the move to Europe or Texas your bfe I wouldn’t care. The excitement for this team is gone.

Tepper hasn't given us anything to cheer for while trying to hard to kill off established Panthers traditions.

When you see the fans that are actually still attending the games and over half of them are still wearing Kuechly and Newton jerseys, you know it’s bad times.

Some people would rather police the fanbase than actually expect management to make competent choices for the future of our franchise.

Cam is the newest jersey I have too. I have Cam in all three colors. Black and blue Peppers, black and blue Smitty, white and black Jake.

Excuse me officer I believe you forgot to read him his Miranda rights.

Being from Virginia I gave my first 30 years to the Redskins..  Then when we got a team here I switched over to the Panthers...  I would start pulling for the Skins and remain miserable on Sundays !!

How many consecutive years qualifies as long term?

Not moving, NC is one of the fastest growing states in the union.

I don’t think Tepper had any interest in moving, this is still one of the fastest growing markets in the country with several Fortune 500 companies and a median income that easily supports premium ticket sales, etc… Given all that he would have a really tough time convincing a majority of other owners to pull out of this market. Bottom line, I’ve always been told the BofA Sports Foundation wouldn’t let it happen.

You need it explained to you why I put the gif in your post? A post in which you are trying to dictate to other fans how they should react toward their team?

I say this every time this subject comes up. 
 

Panthers ain’t going anywhere. Population and demographics dictates team placements, NC is the 9th largest state with  Charlotte sitting within an 1 hour 30 minute drive of many large cities in the area. 
 

team ain’t going anywhere. This is a dead subject.

I should have just quoted this.

And marketing it to a larger region that covers more than just "charlotte" makes it a significantly large demographic area that the NFL would like to keep.  We've covered the specifics and comparisons of market size in previous threads, such as this one:
