Does playing in North Carolina suck as a professional athlete?

Plenty of pro athletes have stayed here in Charlotte after moving here from other places. Primarily family types. 

Cost of living, being close to city infrastructure, weather are great reasons to be here.

Bonehead rednecks, latent racism, homophobia, and Jesus bullshit are reasons to flee, but as long as you stay in Charlotte proper there's a chance you won't be surrounded by them. Just the price to pay living in the South.

If I was a tradesman I would not get anywhere near North Carolina, one of the worst labor states in the country.

PS I farking hate South End now. No parking and filled with goofy concept places that get replaced by another one overnight. Sure the newly arrived kids love it though.

But I've lived here (from Western MA) for over 25 years and enjoyed it just fine.

      ACL repair and recovery

      By electro's horse · Posted

      There probably isn’t an orthopedic surgery that has had more improvement in technique and outcomes over the last two decades than the acl repair. Because of its importance in pro sports and the sheer number that surgeons do there have been lots of opportunities to practice 1. Better techniques - arthroscopic v open surgery means people heal faster  2. More training - all sports med surgeons have tons of experience doing them 3. better imaging - later generations of mri are more sensitive  4. better therapy - PTs have gotten better at rehabbing them and the theories of rehab have improved a lot. No idea about brooks in particular tho, but I’d describe that overall situation as “not great”

      Is tackle out the window at 19?

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      If Freeling or either of the Utah OTs dropped to 19 I'd be more than happy honestly. Our OT situation isn't great with an aging Moton at RT and a mess of a situation at LT if Walker goes down at any point in time.  What I'm expecting the Panthers to do is probably draft another weapon like Sadiq or KC Conception. That's been their track record in drafting R1 thus far. None of the defensive talent projected to be around 19 stands out to me. Unless they just want to draft a LB early (Rodriguez,  CJ Allen, Anthony Hill, Jake Gollday).
