VABills Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 D bag move. What's next - throws mud at fans wearing other team's colors? He's a simpleton. Sort of like Bills fans throwing batteries at Brian Cox? Not the same. Bills fans were douches and simpletons. This is a what a leader of a team does.

atlbillsfan1975 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 understand and agree with him removing the banner. Cam's press conferences on the other hand are very hard to understand. When you are 8-0 nobody cares! Ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattsox Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 no he's not a thug. one of the best QB in the NFL The panthers shouldn't have let the sign in the building. Like cam said you don't see that stuff at lambeau He's definitely not a thug. He's one of the Best QBs in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everybody would like their superstar player to be smart, thoughtful etc.. but sometimes you get Cam or A-Rod or Bruce Smith and have to deal with their lack of certain social skills.

machine gun kelly Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 This is much adou about nothing. You can make the point he over stepped his bounds, and you can also make the point he is a leader on his team and in his house. Cam, just keep winning. Everything else works itself out. You did your best in the press conference to stand behind your decision, but also not defame the Packers fans. Personally, I could care less.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 What a stupid move by Newton. No need to have done this other then to be cute. Its what a teenager would not a professional. That this was tolerated makes me hold disgust for the way the populus believes. Newton had no business in the stands. His business is on the field. He wasn't in the stands. He was on the field. Populous not populus. He could have directed security to remove it, but hey, I kind of like the gesture. Don't tell me you'd hate on Kyle Williams or Cordy Glenn (or McCoy for that matter) doing similar to a Pats*** fan's field level gimondulous sign.

Punching Bag Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Dob's beef is all for naught, anyway. Panthers stadium policy is that "No banners or flags expressing support of visiting teams may be affixed to or displayed on any surface," per the team's official site. Except it is not exactly correct: Panthers to replace Packer fan's banner that Newton took Panthers executive director of stadium operations Scott Paul said Monday night on the team's website the team will review its current policy on banners and flags. Paul said the banner was in compliance with stadium regulations even though the team policy is that no banners or flags expressing support of visiting teams may be affixed to or displayed on surface. it looks like the fan is also trying to get tickets ($3700) also paid for because fan did homework ahead of time: ''I was shocked because that was the one thing that I wanted to prevent by following all of the policies, all the procedures,'' Dobs told ABC 11 in Fayetteville. ''Going through everything that you asked me to do, and then you steal my property.'' I agree it should not be allowed and while there are ways around (T-Shirts with letters on them as example the opposing fan could make trouble for Cam although only for the banner not the tickets. Maybe Carolinia will also look at who sold tickets and determine if they were sold illegally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I've never been as into the "this is our house, don't bring that into enemy territory" schtick as some fans. I'm also not that into "our guys do no wrong." It's not a huge deal or anything but it's kind of immature act and distraction which is, if I were a panther fan, something I'd probably be hoping that cam would be grown out of.

Prickly Pete Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 (edited) I like that the sign was torn down, and like that it was Newton that took care of it even more. It's a great dramatic gesture, and that's all it was to me. And they won the game! I'm not worried about "immaturity", or whether he was being a douche to the opposing fans, it was a cool way to rile up the fans, and victimless. They won the game, Newton is playing excellent and they are 8-0. Looks like he knows what he is doing... Newton is loopy, but he hasn't been busted for PED's, cheating, racing cars, drugs, or beating up women. There is nothing to get upset about here.

26CornerBlitz Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 (edited) Everything you need to know about #BannergateIt's been a day since North Carolina Army vet Mike Dobs had his "man room" compromised forever by the scoundrel Cam Newton. Here's a quick history of #Bannergate. Edited November 10, 2015 by 26CornerBlitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFanNC Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Banner replaced, but not by Panthers....yet. On Wednesday, Dobs saw the replacement banner for the first time at a UPS store in Fayetteville. Fellow veteran Steve Milburn had the banner made for Dobs after hearing what happened in Charlotte. The banner is now on its way to Dobs' family in Wisconsin. The plan is to have the banner signed by members of the Packers. Then, it will come back to North Carolina, where it will find a permanent spot in Dobs' "man cave." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbossman2 Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 a few things that no one has pointed out: 1) it was veterans appreciation day and the fan in question was a vet. 2) the fan in question got prior approval from BOA stadium personnel before he hung it: “I followed all the rules. I got pre-approval to have that banner, and look what it got me. We were shocked. When Cam ran up, we thought he was going to talk to us, or even sign our banner. But instead he ripped it out of our hands and almost took my son-in-law’s finger with it." http://www.charlotteobserver.com/sports/nfl/carolina-panthers/article43718883.html Read more here: http://www.charlotteobserver.com/sports/nfl/carolina-panthers/article43718883.html#storylink=cpy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh for phuck sake. Nobody was disrespecting anyone's "house." Fans of opposing away teams have every bit as much right to show support for their teams as any of the home fans. The sign didn't violate stadium policy, the man had permission to display it and some knuckle dragging idiots with a misguided notion of sportsmanship objected. Pitiful. See if you can wrap your brain around this concept: the Packer fan wasn't showing disrespect for the Panthers; he was showing respect for the Packers. See the difference? GO BILLS!!!

I think everyone agrees home field advantage is a real thing. An opposing teams banner in the end zone of your own stadium takes away from that advantage far more than just cheering for your team in the stadium. They shouldn't have allowed it for competitive reasons. Did he have a approval? Sure. Should Cam have torn it down? No. We are mixing emotional and rational thought in this thread though. But the argument that the sign did nothing, and that who cares it's just a game is asinine. They are competing for a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
