The Rob Lowe team, I like it. 

I have been to a number of these cities that have lost teams. The overwhelmingly majority don't follow those teams anymore, they hate their fuging guts.

The sentiment is completely understandable. That has literally happened to Charlotte already.

Us fans just don’t give a F anymore. I bet many of us are not going to put up a fuss if he relocates the team. Im tired (like many of us) of this mediocre team year in and year out. 
 

2015 seems like many decades ago.

would think that I just basically become a casual NFL fan.

That's what I became after selling my PSLs year ago. Almost 10 years as a casual fan, watching 1 or maybe parts of 2 games a week with no allegiance to anyone. Far less stressful, less emotional investment and the ability to see the reality of the league as an entertainment business and nothing more.

I don’t think they will. It's a lot of bluster and not much substance. Plus it sounds like this wealthy idiot is going to get his way, unfortunately.

I still watch the games but it's mainly just fodder for bitching and discussion with my buddies. I don't actually care that much anymore. It's just fun to sometimes put on that angry fan hat in a discussion.

Charlotte would get a new team awarded the same day the Panthers left.  Don't fool yourself 

I'm sure the same was said when the Rams left LA. Only took 20 years to get them back.

It's interesting how these threads go. There is not a single word from the team or tepper about moving the team.  It's just an assumption by the author, and yet Tepper is getting blasted for something he actually hasn't said. 

Unless something more concrete comes out, this isjust the authors opinion with no basis in fact.

Actually this was going on when JR was still around. I remember years ago when Kerry Collins was benched by Capers some huddlers were predicting relocation. This team isn't going anywhere.

You are right. At the same time, if I had twenty years to live, and had to do it without the Carolina Teppers? As they have been in the first 6, I could go way longer.

Honestly, he has really given people very little to root for. if you are a certain mindset you loved the trade up. But when that was culminated, you hated it. Most of you. 

If you were of a different mindset, you wanted nothing to do with that kind of strategery.

I think some of y'all would be thrilled if the Panthers ceased to exist as a team...

The Panthers aren't going to move.  The City won't let that happen.  It's too much of a shiny bauble for Charlotte to let go of for nothing.

I think the city would let the leave before they get completely bent over. Reference the New Orleans Pelicans(AKA Charlotte Hornets 1.0) and George Shinn.
