New research shows Panthers fans to be the least loyal in NFL

[Cat'sGrowl]

And one more thing, does anybody even remember knowing what a Patriots fan was before they started their run last decade?

And yet somehow their the most loyal?

I guess it's easy to be "loyal" when your team is constantly in the playoffs..

We know this article is bullcrap because the Raiders are in the bottom 5 with us.

They've sucked for decades and still have a dedicated (albeit insane) fanbase.

they need to do one of those nfl commercials where a carolina fan moves to Atlanta or something, I think that would be pretty funny. I think we're just not popular enough for them to do that though..

Last season it got to the point where you had people posting about how they were mocked for wearing Panthers gear....in the city of Charlotte.

Its funny that you say that... I came down to Charlotte for the Ravens game wearing my Black&Blue and saw nothing but Black&Purple. Walking down Tryon Street looking to get some food, I actually passed a group of Raven's fan and got laughed at for wearing and showing my support for the Panthers. I expect that were I live (that being in Baltimore) but not in Charlotte. Definitely was not a good season to be a Panthers fans.

How can we be lower than the LA Jags?

oh wee mayne, I gave you a bad rep number.

But I was going to ask, does Jacksonville have fans?

I cry in your general direction. But not for you, someone here may think I am a Panther fan and make fun of me then. :rolleyes:

[Jangler]

And how exactly do you "research" something like this?

Was thinking the same thing. Nobody asked me. Did they ask you?

or you?

or you?

not you! fuger!!

what about you?

[BBQ&Beer]

Oh we have a ton of fair weather fans no doubt but we're young.

Having said that...

I have to point out that along with the Browns, Skins, & Raiders being in the bottom 5 with us, the Packers 4th?!? Really?

Eta: The Bears not in the top 5? This system is Bullpoo.

they obviously don't take into consideration we are one of only 3 teams that have financed thier stadium solely on PSL's...

This research was probably conducted in Boston.

I remember a couple months ago I said something similar. I said that it was embarrassing to wear a Panthers jersey here in town because everywhere I went I was made to explain my teams suckage, Jake, etc.

This poll is a direct reflection of JR's public relations of late.

Interestingly I live 40 miles west of Charlotte and frankly I wear my Panthers gear year round. Sure I got a few comments this year like they are really having a tough year etc, but I have not been laughed at once. I wore it to every game and didn't get laughed at even when we lost by big margins.

I don't know why my experience seems different from most folks posting but it does.
