Funny coincidence, but this is a great song (old blackbear and Mike Posner collab):

uhhhhhh if this is true....


I don't know what the age breakdown is on our board (I know that HF skews older), and maybe what I'm about to say is obvious in the first place and/or awkward commentary, but this is what makes this allegation so heinous.

NOBODY under 30 goes to strip clubs. People born after ~1995 got their first smart phone when they were still in middle school, and one of the first things they did was make a routine habit of sampling the billions of hours of free, niche, porn available at their fingertips. Strip clubs have been seen as a weird, outdated, thing for years now, and I have never heard of a single person my age who has gone to one unironically.

Unironically being the operative word. The only reason people go to a strip club is as some type of a trashy joke to be absolute degenerates--and obviously that's a very rare occurrence (if it happens at all). This isn't going out and getting hammered at the club like all young, rich guys do. This is an activity that there is a 0% chance the team engages with often, and they chose to get weird IN ROUND 2 OF THE PLAYOFFS.

I'm not trying to point fingers, but Radko Gudas is known as the guy who organizes all the team activities. Thornton is known as a big party guy who has always treated his younger teammates. Those are the first two guys who need to be asked questions.

Sorry but plenty of young people still go to strip clubs. Just not the crowd you keep company with clearly. Nothing wrong either way IMO.

I didn't even watch the full video before I made my post above. It doesn't escape me that the one radio announcer used (twice) the same word I did to describe this. Degenerate. No, this is not a normal thing that young guys do. It simply isn't in the current year.

As for dismissing the report out of hand, I just don't see how you can do that without making yourself a total contrarian. This is the flagship sports radio station for the Tampa Bay area. Ihni about the show itself, but the station is affiliated with ESPN and Fox Sports.

a) The media that covers the Panthers needs to ask a number of Panthers players and coaches about this.
b) Those players and coaches need to unequivocally deny the allegations and call the radio guys out for slander.

If those two things don't happen, then I'm inclined to believe it's true.

Like I said, they sound like Portnoy wannabes.

Damn it man.

for f***s sake

He’s exactly right.

The Panthers are CHOOSING to lose. They don’t want to go through the pain involved in winning.

If it comes easy, sure why not, more money for everyone. But when it gets hard? We’ve been betrayed. Bruno should have known. He should have the pulse of the team.

I mean, a cursory Google search can tell you that only a fraction of Gen Z and young Millenials go to strip clubs compared to people born before 1990. In your anecdotal experience, is it even remotely commonplace for guys under 30 to go to strip clubs?

Like, to establish a baseline, would you say that at least 1 in 20 guys (under age 30) go to a strip club at least once per year? Because I would find that really difficult to believe based on my own anecdotal experience.

Wdym? Obviously every non-journalist, sports pundit is a wannabe Portnoy nowadays. Do you disagree with my take?

lol imagine comparing going to the beach during the day time to going to a strip club till 3 AM

Even worse he throws "instead of morning skate" in there.
1) Do you think guys who were out til 3am are having morning skate? (And if they are, that's even worse because they're not getting a full night's sleep, which is more important).
2) A relaxing morning at the beach to refresh and recharge is probably more beneficial to a lot of guys than a morning skate.
