Fighting at BOA…. A fan just died at Foxboro

It's actually more common than people think when folks die to one punch.  There was a documentary either on youtube or Netflix or something I watched and there was a bunch on there talking about their regrets of taking another life with just a punch.  But like others pointed out, when you serve alcohol it's just bound to happen.  

Movies make it look like you can punch people fifty times and them still be okay.

Oh for sure in Europe and even South America they'll kill ya over Soccer. There was a referee I read about some years back who players returned after the game because of a call they didn't like and beheaded him. Left his severed head on a pike. Insanity.

Need some of this from the Panthers to certain refs over the years.

Yeah, supporters are segregated at soccer matches over here, and it can lead to a really tribal and aggressive atmosphere with law enforcement everywhere. I'm just back from Charlotte and Atlanta, and thought the mixing of supporters was a breath of fresh air, and I'd hate to see the NFL lose that. The NFL London games with all 32 jerseys on display is a brilliant atmosphere too. 

Sadly, there will always be ar5eholes that will spoil anything, and you're right that alcohol (or bevvy, as we call it here in Glasgow) is a huge aggravating factor. You can't have alcohol at a soccer match in Scotland, and I doubt we'll ever get it back (41 years now). Too many eejits (another good Glasgow word) that can't behave ruin it for the rest of us.

No NFL atmosphere will ever match Celtic-Rangers, for better or worse.

In my experience fighting isn't that common in BoA, and you sure as hell won't ever catch me fighting, a ban from BoA is worse than an assault charge in my book. 

 

The worst I've ever seen it was the night game vs the eagles 3-5 years ago. I saw more fights that night than I normally see in an entire season, mostly instigated by drunk eagles fans.

The worst I saw was also against the Eagles. It was when they beat us in the regular season during our '03 SB run when John Kasay missed all the kicks. They were the absolute worst. Sure made that NFC CG win over them all the sweeter. 😂

Runner up would be the Bucs fans several years ago on MNF. They were obnoxious too but nothing compared to that Philly trash.

Everyone knows you don’t fight someone like that. You get their name and slowly over several years work yourself into their life buying a house nearby and getting a job with their spouse. Slowly seduce their spouse and convince them how bad the other guy is over a year or two of subtle jabs. Once you’ve banged and they get separated let him know you’ve won the fight.

    • So, objectively, you'd say from a holistic review of Rico's performance and the team overall there were at least a dozen players on the team that performed at least as well if not better in their roles?
    • I'm not a huge fan of BY, but he does have some clutchness developing
    • While you're correct, people are just sick of being told, "you don't understand this, you're dumb" despite what their eyes say. This applies to the Panthers and anything else in life. This board can be a miserable place, but this isn't the old days anymore because Social Media & Reddit have hijacked old-school forum users.  I have in the last year or so taken a massive step back from Social Media & Reddit. Deleted accounts on both, I only have X/Twitter now. But I was looking for an outlet for Panthers talk and I did not want to do that on X much at all. There are only two legitimate outlets for that I've found, here and SB Nation. SB Nation I used to partake in, but they absolutely bumble-f*cked the comments section, and I like the setup of the posts + comments, as opposed to article + comments. Also, as others have pointed out, being a Panthers fan has been a horrendous existence since Cam left. Just an awful crew of coaches, draft picks, trading away great players, etc. It's been miserable.  Ever since Tepper bought the team, I hoped that he commit to a full rebuild. He never did, he thought there were shortcuts and so did Rhule. This hamstrung us for years, and then he massively overstepped with the BY trade.  This ruined the team building, because there was no depth, and then it ruined nuanced BY discussions because of the insane haul we gave up. He will never live up to that, I think many people are finally wrapping their heads around that now which is good. The best thing for this board to get better is for the Panthers to win more, draft well, and to stay committed to crawling through this Andy Dufrense poop-pipe to escape the depths of NFL hell. It will be ugly and stink along the way, but you can see already this year if we commit to drafting then the team and the vibes can turn around quicker than you think.  I am extremely optimistic about the draft class this season, it's something to watch, talk about, and celebrate. It also gives Dan and I think by extension Dave Canales more of a leash, which I think we need to give them and grant them the time to turn this boat around.
