Then your point was missing the mark from the very beginning. Nothing stops people from being reactionary, especially diehard sports fans.

 

Stopping fans from being reactionary is like saying you're going to reinvent the wheel. Sounds good, but everyone knows you are going to fail. lol

I will always be an optimistic, hopeful fan. It's my nature although it was tested by Rhule. @Sgt Schultz, I fully understand. My hockey team is the Buffalo Sabres. Never won a Cup (many years of being last in the NHL), missed the playoffs by 2 points (1 win) this year. Panthers missed the playoffs last year by 1 win. That's how things go in fandoms. I'm not even sure the Panthers end with a winning record this year but that's not the point. The point is that we have a future to look forward to. 

FWIW, I'm still ticked off at Brett Hull.

Ben was wrong. When something good happens for a pessimist they think it won't last and you can't be happy because now something bad will be next. Where an optimist will take a good thing be happy and expect more good things will happen.

If you have to be a pessimist so you don't get disappointed you clearly aren't resilient likely have low frustration tolerance and are emotionally immature.  I am an optimist and find my life is good and I can root for the Panthers and deal with losses or wins with little problem. Part of being an optimist is looking for the positives even in bad situations and choosing your attitude in spite of circumstances. Whereas pessimists stay unhappy and manage to see the negative in every situation.

No thanks....

 

I’m generally optimistic about most things in my life. The Panthers are not one of them…

The Panthers are also out of our control, so why expect that much from them anyways?

you literally just answered your own question bro.

why get so worked up over something you have no control of? why question someone for being optimistic about something they have no control over and literally just watch for entertainment purposes only?

if I don't like a TV show, a movie, a concert, an album, a team, I just don't watch it. I don't get worked up over it and question other people that do enjoy watching it.

part of growing up bud, wishing you the best!

Then why are you a Panthers fan. Football is entertainment. If it impacts you negatively then maybe you need to stop watching the Panthers.

Since fan is short for fanatic it makes sense they will be emotional

It may be time for you to move on.

Either jump on the bandwagon or walk away from it.

But right now all any of us see is someone who's probably better off bailing.

If you find that you are always upset because people or things don't meet your expectations, then lower your expectations and you will be happier. That doesn't mean you can't hope that the Panthers are much improved just don't expect it and then when we are you will be much happier. And if you are pessimistic you are expecting bad things that is much different from lowering your expectations.

I never said that I was giving up on this team

I know, but you probably should. You obviously get no enjoyment out of them. How could you? I mean in your eyes they just suck and are a failure of a team destined to win 3 games.

Seriously, why bother?

This thread makes me think of the phrase, "misery loves company" but what we're finding out is misery is desperate for company.

This miserable panther fan's mission with this thread is to get more fans to be as miserable as the they are.

this was me for almost the entire Matt Rhule era. that's why i was gone from the Huddle for over a year. i didn't vibe with Rhule and i didn't like the handling of Cam so i watched Manchester City and AEW until my interest in the Panthers was rekindled.

it's literally not even a bad thing. if you're miserable in your fandom, watch another sport or get into another hobby for a while until you feel the itch again.

i know that sports fanbases like to do the "i'm the biggest fan so i'd never do that" thing but we should be more cognizant of things needlessly impacting mental health these days.

      I’m not sure people understand how fuging bad it is

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      The league would protect him.  The amount of poo Jerry Jones has had exposed and got away with?  The amount of poo Stephen Ross has got away with?  How long Dan Snyder got away with essentially fuging sex trafficking employees and poo???????  Taking down JR was a hit job.  You think the other 31 owners, especially the older ones aren’t blathering, blatant, ignorant ass, bigoted rich racists who have committed far worse things than Blue Jean Fridays?  The ones I named above have DEFINITELY did worse than what JR was accused of.  And do you think guys like Steve Smith would’ve been viewing him as a father figure if they felt that’s who he was?  JR pissed the league off with that last lockout situation and they made him pay.  They lined a new guy up to join their billionaire boys club in Tepper, and they prolly slid a pretty penny to Jonathan Jones to write the “expose,” to get JR out of here.  Again, all the owners I’ve listed above have been verified on record for doing worse poo, yet they’re still running their organizations, unquestioned.  They hand-picked Tepper long before JR was forced out, so he isn’t going anywhere.  Sadly.  fug the NFL.  (Also, to be clear, it’s always fug racism, bigotry, and sexual exploitation - not ever excusing it.  Just making the point that the NFL isn’t operating under this clear standard of justice applied to each and every case)

      I was still in the throes of a contentious divorce and my job at the time had me work on Sundays.  At the beginning of the season I tried to still work around Sundays so I could see our games.  I think after Bryce came back from the benching, I said fug it.  First time in my life I intentionally didn’t watch our games, even through the Atlanta finale.  In the past, even if we didn’t live up to expectations, I would watch to still support and at least analyze player development, strengths and weaknesses, coaching, etc., but Bryce makes all of that a moot point, so I stopped watching. Again, this is asinine,  it if he is retained (still can’t believe this is even a possibility of a conversation due to how shitty our organization has become under Tepper), I will NOT watch next season until he is gone.
