Well, this escalated quickly...

A Phoenix publication has listed the top 10 reasons to hate the Carolina Panthers. Here is their top 5.... 

 

5. The Panthers don't deserve the accolades in such a weak division.

Though it's true that the NFC South wasn’t the league’s worst division this season (the dishonor goes to the AFC South), it wasn’t what you’d call ultra-competitive. As a matter of fact, the Panthers were the only team with awinning record. And things were even worse in 2014, with Carolina winning the division with the esteemed record of 7-8. It's easier to go 15-1 when nearly half of your games are against awful teams.

 

4. Their field is a disaster area.

Much has been said this week about the awful turf at Bank of America Stadium. It's described as soupy mire, even after team officials had the thing re-sodded. Just ask the Seattle Seahawks, who slipped and tripped all over the place during their recent playoff loss to Panthers.

Thing is, the bad turf is nothing new, as Carolina had such problems right after the place debuted in1996. And again in 2001, 2003, and 2013. It could be all the area precipitation is to blame — or maybe it’s just the team’s secret weapon. Yeah, that's it! Either way, it’s a good thing the Seahawks gave the Cardinals advice on how to handle the situation: better cleats.

 

3. Their fans are classless...

After Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel was toppled with an injured hamstring during a game with the Panthers last season, Carolina fans cheered manically. So much for sportsmanship. Even Cam Newton found it in bad taste, later calling the move “classless.”

And back in 2013, Rams defensive end Chris Long got showered with trash after he was ejected following a minor scuffle with a few Panthers players. “Thanks Carolina fans 4 the flipped birds+few bottles to the head,” Long later tweeted. “Sticks n stones may break my bones but aluminum zimas will never hurt me.”

 

2. ...and include tons of rednecks.

Look, we’re willing to admit that not every fan of the team is a beer-swilling hillbilly. But the fact you can see dudes dressed as Dog the Bounty Hunter at Carolina home games, buy a “Redneck Wine Glass” made from a Mason jar that bears the Panthers logo, or catch players rubbing elbows with NASCAR drivers speaks volumes, don't it?

 

1. Cam Newton is a pompous ass.

Look, we get it. Cam Newton is one of the best in the game today, a money quarterback, dynamic playmaker, and a future Hall of Famer. But why does he have to act like a pompous ass, continually running his mouth, taunting opposing players, arrogantly celebrating touchdowns, and pouting after the Panthers lost their lone game of the season to Atlanta.

Come on, Cardinals defense, take him down Sunday!

Talking poo is the best way to show you skerred

Is this..... is this like The Onion?

I've been to Glendale/Phoenix.

Nothing is green there.  Its all red, yellow, and brown.

No wonder they're all clinically depressed/insane.

(P.S. I couldn't leave that shithole fast enough.  Vegas might have looked much the same, but at least it was fun.)

[TheRumGone]

Oh we about to stomp that ass and smile in their faces

[MadHatter]

I have a better reason for them to hate us.

Hey Cards....fug YOU!!!!!!

They will really have a reason to hate us in two days....after we beat the ever living poo out of their team and send their worthless asses back to wander aimlessly in the desert.

[Jon Snow]

And you linked the poo?  Jimmy rustling 101.

Oh God, so when the Panthers win Sunday there will be some angry, offended fan. I hope this defense has Palmer eating  soggy grass all evening. 

[ScreenPlay]

Believe when I tell you Card fans are a joke...my brother played for them 05-09. Pure clowns. 

[cgarsmoker]

Now it's official....I hate those mother fuggers!  I hope we knock their dicks in the dirt.   

[j2sgam]

Wonder what Shaq has to say about this? Doubt we will ever know......

[toldozer]

I love we have a list. No one gives a damn enough about the cardinals to make a list on reasons to hate them.
