Emily is complaining as if she was FORCED to buy Panthers shirts for her kids to wear to school yesterday. 

YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO BUY THE SHIRTS!

Why didn't her kids already have Panthers shirts? Terrible parenting!

[MadHatter]

Doesn't she know that she could get cheap high quality panthers gear?  Talk about being a shitty investigative reporter.  Haha

Lol

what was Hannibal Lechter's line in Silence of the Lambs:

'Oh Emily (not Clarice), your problem is you need to get more fun out of life'.

I do understand this though. A little bit. All the other kids have t-shirts except yours. Kid is bummed, other kids pick on them or laugh because they couldn't afford one. However, it's part of life. Your kid is gonna face upset. All Panther's shirts are not outrageously expensive tho. I don't see why they couldn't have got one of those.

Agreed.

Emily just wants to complain and have people feel sorry for her.

But shouldn't the tread be titled how she is fed up with the schools/school system who are encouraging the kids to wear Panthers gear...not the Panthers themselves.

I can see why she is a former Observer employee. Clearly she does not like this city.

They sell Panthers gear in off brands for less.

It sounds like she is more concerned about where the money is going than how much money is being charged. She's making it about economic politics. She could find a way to show support for the Panthers on a budget. I don't think she wants to support the Panthers though.

I don't see anything wrong with the title.

In her tweet, she complains about showing spirit for a multi billion dollar industry and that industry she is referring to is the Carolina Panthers.
