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!

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.

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.

    • Agreed on the last part. They can’t afford to lose all these games with Martin and Perets. 
    • Yes.  And this converts directly to confidence.  Does the coach have confidence to call a deep dig or seam route?  Does Bryce have confidence in his ability to be the Alpha?  Do his teammates have confidence.  About film--when I see Cam Newton's pre-snap confidence vs. Bryce's, it is night and day.   Film--tells you if the WRs are open (why l love watching the Replay telecasts from the end zone cameras--you can see it.  I have seen 2 WRs open and Bryce's eyes are on the outlet WR or the pass rush. )  You can see progressions, and he has improved a bit--but he is very quick to rush through 1 and 2 and checkdown--that is a lack of confidence in his ability to read the defense.  I had a former NFL TE (Deems Maye) who played QB in high school (not sure about college) tell me that the best QBs read the defense by knowing where everyone will be when the ball is to arrive--not where they are.  I think his QB at the time was Humphries.  He said that Humphries would throw the ball into coverage before the cuts etc.  because he understood DB momentum, zone areas, etc.  and he could just see it.  Said so when people say nobody was open, they are usually right because nobody should be "open" when the QB has the ball--when the ball arrives, everyone should be open.  He said Humphries was never "great" but his skills were limited--from a small school--but his ability to read a defense made him never give up on a route.
