Mad someone who was raised to root for the Raiders and/or Niners and never had much passion about either team, I can sympathize with making a change.

Since the Warriors and Panthers have been successful the last few years I've had people that have never met me call me a bandwagoner. So don't let people get to you.

Sports is like love, the heart wants what it wants. So if you find yourself watching the Panthers and getting emotionally invested in the outcome, you are a fan. 

There it is.

I grew up a Ram fan but when that bitch Frontiere took my team to St. Louis it was hasta la vista, baby. Panthers ever since. As far as the protests Kap or whoever. It's as simple as you're a highly paid, high profile employee of the 49ers and are representing them when you're on the field. Act like it, do your protesting on your own time.

The Carolina's are basically a transplant relocated region across the board.

We're finally seeing the home field advantage that comes with generations-old teams.

Glad to have the OP and whomever else decides to jump on the wagon. I'm so sick and tired of opposing fans having such a huge presence at our home games. I'm talking to you GB, Steelers, Pats, Buffalo and Redskins fans in the area.

Dude admits to hopping on the bandwagon, draws attention to himself and wants everyone to stand during the National Anthem because 'Murica?

 

 

Where did I say that? You guys keep saying that but can't show me where!

Hey, new guy, go ahead and get used to this if you stick around.

I'm good. But, I find it hilarious that I've actually been following the Panthers since 2003, longer than that kid who thinks he's a badass has even known about them. lol

LOL No, Just returning shots fired.

That was when I first moved to the area, and I was amazed at how crazy the entire city was in support of their team. It sucked me in, and they've been my #2 team ever since.

Funny story...The night before the Super Bowl, I went out to the Comedy Zone. Bobcat Goldwaith was in concert there. As he was opening, he congratulated the Panthers on going to the Super Bowl, and was talking about how he passed 'Ericsson Stadium' on his way in. Someone started heckling him, telling him that it was BOA Stadium. He looked confused, and the heckler said "Yep, $100,000,000 deal!" He said "$100,000,000 deal???? You'd think they'd change the f**king SIGN!!!!" lol

Welcome aboard.  The more the merrier!

 

My nickles worth of free advice...

Put this thread in the rear-view and let the knuckle-headed dipshits who think there is some metric for fandom circle jerk themselves to sleep.

So you haven't even gotten rid of all your old Dolphins stuff Mr DieHardPantherFan4Life

When I made the switch from a 49ers fan to a full time Panther fan I burned all the 49er sh!t!!!

Duplicate post

Just FYI, become and All pro and you can delete that and it supports the cause.

Welcome aboard. 

Oh, on a side note, I will occasionally pull for the Dolphins against certain teams. The only thing I had against Miami was Dan Marino's hair. Something about his hair used to piss me off.

a) I'm pretty sure I was at that show

Followed the Panthers in 2003 and 2016, hmmm... seems to be something in common with these years but I just can't put my finger on it

[rayzor]

Welcome aboard.  It doesn't matter what brought you here, you're here.

And btw, most of us long time fans were fans of other teams first. Some just answer the call later on. 

Stick around.

2003 was when I started following them, like I said in my initial post, and a couple others. It had more to do with the brotherhood of the city than the team itself. I went to my first Panthers game in 2005, at Atlanta. Went to a home game in 2006, one in 2009, and one in 2013. Its been a gradual process. I'm just glad I had a number 2 team to switch to, and already had time, emotion, and money invested in.
