Charlotte paper calls out weak, fair-weather Panthers fans

Charlotte is a little light on professional sports. There’s no MLB team, and no NHL team. The Charlotte Hornets literally moved away to New Orleans in the early 2000s. Their other professional team, the Carolina Panthers, wouldn’t even name their team after Charlotte. Instead, they just mixed together South Carolina and North Carolina together in the name.

Charlotte just isn’t home to many die hard sports fans. Well, the die hard sports fans are just fans of other teams. Just a few games after their Super Bowl run, ticket prices had already bottomed out. In fact, local news site Charlotte Agenda included fair weather Panthers fans on their list of most annoying people.
