Perhaps I'm naive, but Gantt can go to hell

[top dawg]

Maybe it's because I don't live in Charlotte, or the fact that I don't necessarily get into the history or leanings of sports writers as much as I could, but yesterday (or possibly Monday) I heard Darin Gantt say on 99.9, The Fan, that frankly he didn't care whether the Panthers win or lose. Maybe it's just me being naive or idealistic, but I would think that he would want us to win.

Gantt isn't a fan of the Panthers. No journalist is supposed to be a fan of the team that the cover. They're supposed to love the the story, the game, not a special team or player.

Gantt is just a guy who outwardly shows this more than other sports journalists.

Well, I didn't get that newsflash. Of course I didn't take sports journalism. I can see the not playing favorites to a player part, but to actually say that you don't care whether the team that you cover wins or loses is sports sacrilege .

He can keep that little tidbit to himself.

He never has tried to hide his doucheness

Boy, it would be nice if all of the media could be like that.

His stuff about Harbaugh and teasing the fanbase about coaching choices really put me off.

[top dawg]

Ship his ass off to Philly and let him espouse such blasphemy against the Eagles! Or perhaps Green Bay among the Cheesheads. I think he'd have to hire security.

I am 40 something, ol' skool, and I just haven't heard of such. It borders on disrespect.

That's what they do ("journalists").

[IRONMAN]

I find him amusing. You gotta roll with it, so what he makes fun of us? I would rather him be critical then someone be a huge panther fan and bring me everythings gonna be alright lies every day. Its his job, he doesn't have to like the team hes required to cover. Imagine one of us having to cover the Patriots or Saints, you'd do it for the pay but that doesn't mean you enjoy the team.

See I wouldn't have a problem with Gnatt or any other reporter saying they don't care whether we win or lose, or anything like that, but I have a problem with them not caring about the team, and still asking these softball questions to coaches and ownership. If you're gonna be all "journalistic" ask some real questions and don't just make snide comments on the twatter webs.

[top dawg]

I agree that he doesn't have to like the Panthers, but to say that he doesn't care whether they win or lose is just perverse. Some things just should not come out your mouth. Think, before you speak. Respect the fan base!

this is the exact opposite of what every Panther fan thought about Gantt 1-2 years ago...
