Charlotte is the worst sports town in the galaxy


SCP

Recommended Posts

Our NBA and NFL venues are constantly overrun by opposing fans even when we are good. We whine and cry about our star athletes over the most inconsequential stuff. This city is full of people that want to run out the best player our Panthers have ever had at the QB position. I travel this country for a living and I have lived in many professional sports towns prior to moving back to my native Carolina, and I can tell you that hands down Charlotte is the most bitchy town with the most entitled fans in all of sports. This town is full of bandwagon jumpers with no backbone and transplants that think everything from their hometown is better. Frustrating stuff man.

And no, I'm not moving.

The pitfalls of NC being such a desireable place to live. It's a double edged sword. On one hand, we have all these transplants and as the saying goes "you can take the steelers fan out of his crappy Pennsylvania town, but you can't take the crappy Pennsylvania town out of the steelers fan, or something like that".

In the case for the panthers, we just need to phase out the older crowd that didn't grow up with the panthers, so give it another 6-7 years for that to start to happen. These fans probably all have a "second favorite" NFL team, which is the team they rooted for prior to the panthers existence. This is why they don't understand the concept of not selling your tickets to opposing fans. I dont wanna hear that "southern hospitality" bull fug. We need to be rowdy, obnoxious, loud and unforgiving. I know i am when im at the stadium, and it sucks when you get looked at funny because you are the only one screaming loud, every down.

The Bobcats game last night was awful. I heard Stephanie Ready gave a pretty heart felt statement about the Knicks fans during her post game wrap up. Panthers games have been horrible to attend.

    • I mean, I get why the media and some NFL and Carolina fans are saying that we don't have a real chance, but as many Huddlers should know, we won't know what we really have in this team until probably late September or early October at the earliest. And I'm not trying to be a homer, I'm just looking at things historically. Obviously I'm also looking at Bryce's "palatable" improvement the last half of last season (including being the catalyst for hanging with and nearly beating the Super Bowl participants), and the new additions that we've acquired overall. I'm also looking at the beginnings of a culture change--even if perceptibly subtle--to some degree indeed may take a foothold if things start falling the right way. But, overall, I'm still cognizant of the realization that things could just go south and that perhaps that Bryce could revert and flop, or that D & D (Dan and Dave) are not the answer, but I still am not ready to say "we're far away." Hell we could be close, albeit with growing pains, but even if we're on the course to bring legit in 2026, then guys like Ramsey would be welcome additions this season. That's just my take on it. I don't think we'll know that we're far away until some point in the season. If we can compete in the South...who knows?
    • You guys remember when the narrative on here was that Bryce would be chronically injured in the NFL due to his size and Anthony Richardson would be super durable due to his? You remember when the narrative was that Bryce was physically incapable of throwing a ball further than 20 yards in the NFL? You remember “I’ll stop complaining when he throws for more than 200 yards and looks like an NFL quarterback”? You remember when 60 sacks was his fault and not the offensive line, slow WRs, and terrible scheme? Pepperidge Farm remembers. It will always be something for some people. Whatever insanity they come up with will be quickly dropped to move on to the next thing. Bryce could have an MVP Super Bowl winning season and they would complain that we can’t run the tush push with him. It will always be something.
    • For the Panthers fans still low on Bryce and demanding that he be a top-10 QB this upcoming season: What stat(s) will you need to see? Not the vibe you want, but rather what does he need to be top-10 in specifically? Passing yards? Completion percentage? Win-loss record? PFF grades? EPA? CPOE? Asking because this was asked before and... well... it ended up that the folks down on him didn't care about the numbers as much as they cared that they just couldn't get passed his size regardless of how he performed. It would be nice to get a straight-forward answer to that without the usual deflection and redirecting.
