Perhaps I'm naive, but Gantt can go to hell


top dawg

Recommended Posts

Maybe it's because I don't live in Charlotte, or the fact that I don't necessarily get into the history or leanings of sports writers as much as I could, but yesterday (or possibly Monday) I heard Darin Gantt say on 99.9, The Fan, that frankly he didn't care whether the Panthers win or lose. Maybe it's just me being naive or idealistic, but I would think that he would want us to win.

Gantt isn't a fan of the Panthers. No journalist is supposed to be a fan of the team that the cover. They're supposed to love the the story, the game, not a special team or player.

Gantt is just a guy who outwardly shows this more than other sports journalists.

Well, I didn't get that newsflash. Of course I didn't take sports journalism. I can see the not playing favorites to a player part, but to actually say that you don't care whether the team that you cover wins or loses is sports sacrilege .

He can keep that little tidbit to himself.

Boy, it would be nice if all of the media could be like that.

I find him amusing. You gotta roll with it, so what he makes fun of us? I would rather him be critical then someone be a huge panther fan and bring me everythings gonna be alright lies every day. Its his job, he doesn't have to like the team hes required to cover. Imagine one of us having to cover the Patriots or Saints, you'd do it for the pay but that doesn't mean you enjoy the team.

See I wouldn't have a problem with Gnatt or any other reporter saying they don't care whether we win or lose, or anything like that, but I have a problem with them not caring about the team, and still asking these softball questions to coaches and ownership. If you're gonna be all "journalistic" ask some real questions and don't just make snide comments on the twatter webs.

this is the exact opposite of what every Panther fan thought about Gantt 1-2 years ago...

    • 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.
