I doubt any other NFL city has to put up with this crap. Has anyone mentioned the ads on WFNZ where other bars are announcing they're THE OFFICIAL HOME OF THE BILLS/EAGLES/49ERS/BEARS, stuff like that? We get that advertised on our station, we get Redskins preseason games broadcast throughout Charlotte, most of our local sports guys are fans of other teams....beyond over that crap.

I've always hated that.

 

They really deserve more flack over that garbage.

I want to say THANK YOU to #roaringriot for your awesome inside work with this. Yes its a free country, yes there are a lot of Steeler fans in Charlotte and yes they could make some money doing this.

 

But I can tell you if someone tried doing this in Pittsburgh odds are their bar would be lit on fire and there is no problem at all with us local fans taking a stand against such a big event. There are plenty of "Steelers bars" in town, let them go nuts. The idea of a big local spot like Epicentre kowtowing to opposing team fans is indeed an insult and we could make a negative impact on Panthers events held there in the future. Heck I have an event planned at Howl for our Canadian chapters visit and would cancel it in a heartbeat if it sounded like it would help this effort.

Makes me proud that the fanbase stood up to put a stop to this. Unfortunately there isn't a whole lot we can do about steelers fans at the game. Once this franchise gets older there will be more kids that grew up panthers fans who own the seats and won't sell. But getting this event canceled shows that were moving in the right direction.

Most cities actually have bars that are official sponsors of other teams. We have threads about it here all the time. It's nothing new.

Happens all the time... but I live in a bandwagon ass city with no football team so I see it all.  

 

Most of my friends from back home in Raleigh are actually Eagles fans.  I have no idea why but it is what it is..
