Are you a Panther fan or a Carolina football fan??

If the NFL leaves the Carolinas, I don't what I'll do, but I won't cheer for the LA Panthers or what other name they would be called at that point. The Panthers were already three years old when I first became a fan of football, so. . .

Probably cheer for Minnesota.

If the Panthers were to move, I would hope that the Panthers name, colors, and insignia stayed exclusively in the Carolinas. If they became the L.A. Panthers I would acknowledge that they were my team at one time, but my animosity towards their relocating would ensure that I couldn't root for them again. I'd probably become apathetic or casual about the sport like I was post-Hornets move and pre-Bobcats.

If the Panthers were to re-emerge in Carolina (ala the Cleveland Browns) they'd have my full support again. But if it were a Hornets/Bobcats type situation, it would take some time for me to become a fan as I would still feel a connection with the "Carolina Panthers" name. I think this is why it is important for relocated teams like the Sonics and Browns to keep their identity exclusive to their city and why I don't think the Bobcats will ever approach anything remotely close to Charlotte's fanaticism with the young Hornets teams.

i don't know. i'd probably jump on the ravens bandwagon.

a lot would depend on ownership and the conditions of the move.

i'm a carolina boy, though. it would be hard to be a die hard fan of a team that left. i don't see it happening, though. not worried about it.
