Being a Panther's fan in South Florida

is abusive. I am the ONLY Panthers fan in South Florida. I must arrive at one of the MANY sports bars 45 minutes before the game starts just to get them to change one of the 30 plus TVs to a Panthers game. The entire time the game is on other "fans" try and get my TV changed even though they see me and my son wearing Panthers gear. Once the Panthers start to blow it, then the New York, Pittsburgh, Philly, Washington, Dallas, Chicago, Green Bay...ect...start heckling me and telling me to just leave so they can get my TV changed.

I am going to see if I can sue Jerry Richardson for this abuse. He keeps promising me a winning team and I keep getting a big stinkin turd. Cease and desist! Cease and desist!!!

That sucks. There are a bunch of bars in CLT that show every game every week.

There must be something you can find.

It's not any easier in other cities. The key is to pick one bar that you like, get to know the staff. Tip well. And bring more than just your son. Eventually, they'll put your game up on the big screen.

you're right. i'm in texas. you think cowboy fans are ignorant and stupid throughout the country, try being here in texas where they run rampant, and every illegal immigrant is asking me why i don't love tony romo and dez bryant and jerry jones.

stay strong riddel

Get Directv and NFL Sunday Ticket so you don't have to put up with that.

Only problem with this is paying $$ for all the other games that I don't care to watch. If someone had a single-team package, I'd consider it.

In the long run, I'd rather pay $15 a week for a few beers and some wings at the local bar, socializing with (hopefully) other Panthers fans and then come back after the game to talk to you guys about it - then sit at home alone watching the game wiht a keyboard in my lap

Well that is your only other option. I think I'd rather pay up and watch in the comfort of my own home than be "abused" That's just me though.

If you're being "abused" at your local sports bar, then either complain to the staff or find a different bar. Nobody should be mistreated for merely wanting to watch a ball game.

And for $15x16 games, minus any that are shown on local, that I see in person, or just conflict with my schedule -- still ends up being cheaper than DirecTV for me. Plus the beer is always colder/better when being served to you.

The other option is to split the costs with a buddy, and watch two TVs at the same house

I get free cable TV and internet....plus Directv are rapists.

When I moved down here I had Directv for 3 years and they continually jacked the price of the ticket up every year and refused to offer me any of the entry offers...it was actually cheaper to cancel Directv after the season ended and then resubscribe each year...but after the 3rd year they decided to stick it to me for canceling...they direct drafted $1200 out of my checking account for 4 receivers and cancellation fee....after months of fighting with my bank and Directv I finally got $600 returned, but they kept $600 and never explained why....so....

now I go to local bars and fight for my right to watch the shitty ass Panthers get owned week in and week out...this is my miserable NFL life right now....would it kill them to at least finish 500 again...at least then I could legitimately request that the game be played...but now....I can barely watch the poo....so...I definitely understand why all the other "fans" want the TV changed....the Panthers SUCK!!!

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
