Can something be done about this referee bias against the Panthers?

[Shocker]

I will start by saying I think the NFL and the referees have been obviously bias against the Panthers since…Super Bowl 50.  Including that game this team has been disrespected by bad calls or horrible non calls consistently.  Is this because we are/were a bad team?  It feels extremely strange to me that against the Raiders the year we were big underdogs and suddenly we cover and get a lot of favorable calls.  If I’m just crazy tell me cuz it is so obvious but maybe I am just seeing ghosts.

Nope

Root for someone else? The refs have never favored a North Carolina team unless you are a Dukie.

We could get some fug the ref signs and parade a home game.  Something

We have no room to talk compared to Lions fans.

Also refs just suck in general, it's not a giant conspiracy against us a sa team.

They have already won…sad

People used to picket this stuff…lazy

The refs are at their worst when we actually matter. Once we're off the radar they usually do a decent job. The 49ers vrs Panthers playoff game nearly drove me insane with how bad the refs were. I swear Ron was screaming at the refs nonstop, and I lost my voice partly. Then things got really bad the following seasons when refs let opposing defenses hit Cam helmet to helmet for a while. Then it became national news and Cam started flailing and flopping to point out when he was getting his brains bashed in. THEN the refs knew the HAD to call it or it would be all over the national news and ESPN. The Panthers have a long and painful history with the refs, and with other teams outright cheating against us (see the Pats/Panthers SB). If we become good again one day the refs will 100% favor the more popular team we're playing. No doubt about it. The easiest way to do it is to call bs holding on the o-line on critical plays in the game. Nick knack holding where you can barely even see the hold for a split second is Panthers special.

Change the team name and uniform colors?  Do zebras see in black and white or color?

I would like to see some data to back this up but my own fan bias makes me believe this is true
