I started to let go when we lost the Super Bowl and checked out for good when Cam left the first time.  Since Tepper took over, this team has done nothing but stink and devoting any time/effort/mental space is a waste.  I own PSL's and haven't been to a game since before Covid.  There's just nothing to be excited about and I don't see that changing until after this season.

Even as a mod, I'm getting close.  

My dad gave up his PSLs he got year 1, finally, this year.  They're not in Charlotte anymore, finally were like its not worth trying to give away half of these that they won't travel in for.  Everyone in my orbit is out of Charlotte minus a select few.  There's not much tying me to the team anymore.  

My parents are both from Chicago, I live in the north shore, my wife & I just had our first (boy), and I'm seriously thinking he'll grow up a Bears fan (I know, not that much better haha).  And I was perusing through some old photos of me as a kid, and realize my dad had me in Bears & Cubs gear all the time.  Moved to Charlotte in 92 as a youngin' and when the team came, the fandom just happened to us all.

Not a big football merch guy, but all I've got left is one Kuechly jersey that I never wear and a carhart Panthers hat that is for hiking/house work.  Times are a changing and honestly, I'm tuning out.  

I dettached from the Hornets about 3 years ago entirely.  This feels eerily similar to when I was just completely dettached emotionally from a fan standpoint.  And it's just football at the end of the day.  I just want to watch some fun games at this point.

These days I consider myself more of a follower than a fan.  There's no point in expressing any passion about this franchise.  I've just been working on my golf game on Sundays.

When it comes to football in general, I delight in watching the greatness of Patrick Mahomes continue to unfold.  I'm really enjoying watching Brady fanboys melt down as Mahomes assaults the record books.

I never watched college football growing up, only NFL. I never rooted for a team because one never represented my state,  SC, only players. I liked Jerry Rice, Barry Sanders, Walton Payton and Emmitt Smith. I considered them to be high character players. This is why I'm a fan of the Carolina Panthers. I won't stop being a fan because we suck and we do absolutely suck. I believe in supporting teams that represent my state much more than choosing a team with a winning record, that's a follower, not a fan...

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
    • 7 wins this year and some of those against really good teams and yall think Canales might get fired? Lol Good luck getting a better coach in here if that happens.
