How we as fans approach players

So they can comeback next season and beast on some bitches

To be honest, I care little about those kinds of people. They’re haters.

i know we have the injury opt out clause, but i don’t want him to no longer be a panther if he comes back. But once again, we cant pay that enormous contract that he would have without the opt out clause. Any way we can bring him back on a new deal…again? I love TD and I really don’t want to believe this is the end of his carolina career, or his career at all.

Visceral dislike for player for his lack of competence. Seething hatred for a player based on incomplete information and assumptions. I’m just as guilty of it as others at times. We let our emotions get out of control and the impersonal nature of the internet leads people to say things they’d never dare to do in person. We even do it to one another here.

Generally speaking I try to live my life in a manner in which I do not say anything about a person that I would not say in front of them. It’s not easy, but I’d like to think I hold up to that standard. I do my best to let that carry over here and fail often enough that I force myself to stay away for awhile until I can gain some semblance of class again. Anyways, I’ll try and get off my soapbox now.

There are scores of cowards, lowlifes, and sociopaths across the globe that hide behind it 24/7. Nothing turns me off more than a forum where there are several dozen comments from “Anonymous.”

Unfortunately, even when a site requires some semblance of identity in order to post, people will still type things that they would never dare to whisper in someone’s ear out in public.

I canceled my Facebook account a few months ago for these very reasons. In an odd way, fan blogs like CSR and RoF were much more genuine to me than Facebook ever was.

shouldn’t be forgotten when measuring his impact on this team and the community. He’s sacrificed more than just his body for the city of Charlotte and that is something you can’t put a price on.

are a minority..the business aspect of it is that players have a short career and have to make all the money they can, it’s very rare that a player goes past 10 years, unless they are kickers, when you look at a player like Julius Peppers, you can’t really hate’em for going to “greener pastures”, you can hate him for talking smack but he was going nowhere at the time with the Panthers and he was expected to hold up a team..The fan favorite leaves for more money and as a fan it’s a let down, but if the same player who is on the decline a fan would want the player cut or traded..People tend to forget that they are men and humanbeings that are husbands and fathers, but that make a lot of money in a business driven by customer loyality..

They just don’t have the capacity to have genuine care and admiration for these guys as they should. That beng said, the wondrful thing about this whole situation to me is that the real definition of a man isn’t about what he has accomplished in life, its about the people he has touched. TD has been amazing on and off the field, and while I doubt that he will play again, we as admirers should back him up and lift him up to help him through the hard times as he has for others. TD, have faith, unless you decide to take your life in a different direction, you can make it happen. If you do choose a different path I will gladly support u there as well. Once again, u have my undying admiration!

off subject, but just seeing the stats on tonight’s MNF game. Against the Packers cam had just 99 less passing yds then Bradford and Manning COMBINED in tonights game. That is flippin insane!!

Sorry, for the change of subject lol. And yes a lot of these “fans” are douchebags.

But for the best interested of Thomas Davis, the man not the player, I don’t think he should play anymore. This isn’t a case of “lightning striking twice” but 3 times now. As tenacious as Davis has been, I really think that this will only end worse for him if he keeps trying to come back.

The only way I can describe my mindset now is… cathartic.

Reasons I don’t look at stories or comments elsewhere? The cryptic and illiterate button pushes of neanderthals and the general stupidity of people everywhere else. Am I proclaiming CSR and it’s people are better than everyone else? YES, actually, I AM. I’m very thankful for this community.

More on topic, although these injuries give me sad faces, they’re happening everywhere. Too many here, too many everywhere. Sadly, it’s probably going to keep piling on the league throughout the year. As always, all my best goes out to Beason, Davis and all our boys on IR. Miss you!

People there are so incredibly ignorant, it’s like they have no filter between their brain and mouth. They aren’t fans.

You have to be pretty self absorbed to be on Facebook in the first place. Tip: No one really cares about what you’re doing and your status.
Come, join the real world.

If they were, they would know and understand the contributions of our players.

These people make me sick… I cannot even fathom what it takes to say such things about a person. My only rational conclusion is that they have never felt pain in their lives, and assume that anyone who does is weak and doesn’t deserve the life given them.

Beast and TD – Real fans understand your pain, and that you are just like the rest of us. You may be professional athletes, but when you’re hurt, you hurt just as much as we would. I wish you both a speed recovery, and a fulfilling time spent with your family on and off the field.

He goes out there every time and gives us what we need and more. Yet I haven’t heard one negative Nancy bring up the surgeons who continue to operate on his knee. I think it is pretty clear, that the only thing we need to do with TD is restructure his contract. He is not ready to give football up, and I don’t want to lose him, even if he is injury prone. He is a leader, a fan favorite, and a pleasure in the locker room for the other guys. Most importantly he is a fighter, and until he says he is ready to call it quits, then I don’t think we should quit on him.

I can’t fault fans for showing the same loyalty to the players that they show to them.

And I couldn’t take the immature and childish comments that were posted. I think it was said above but it wasn’t the majority but it always seemed to be one idiot to ruin a conversation. That’s why I love CSR, the base here knows what they are talking about (except a certain person who needs not to be named.) and we are truly passionate about our team. Shout out to the editors who keep the calm here and help keep the blog on track.

because they are pussies
