Sounds like you're not a football fan.

My apologies. This just looked like a smack thread.

Oh, man! That's good, too! People from Tampa are sorry! That's what you get for being born outside of Charlotte, ya'll are sorry!

Pretty sure their fanbase is acting exactly like this fanbase was acting during some losing years. I've sat in BofA with about a handful of other people for a few games here. It's the very nature of sports franchises just about everywhere. Especially smaller markets like this one. In the early 2000's all you would hear from Bucs fans was about how their season ticket waiting list was something like 20 years long. Now? Poof. They all went home. Same thing happens here. Nobody gives a poo about teams when they lose. True in Tampa. True in Charlotte. True in Atlanta. True in St Louis. The much bigger markets, like Chicago, will weather it better. But, that's just how it is. So...good smack! You told them! Losers!

So, what I'm hearing is...people in Charlotte think people in Tampa are poor and are making fun of them for it. When people call this a plastic town full of snobs...that appears to be a critique with a ton of merit.
