durrdbyrd Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 I was given a ticket to the game tomorrow from my sister-in-law and her family, who happen to live in Charlotte and are HUGE Panthers fan. They offered me a chance to go but asked that I not wear anything Falcons related. Asking a die-hard fan like myself to go to the game sans Falcons apparel is like asking Jesus to shave his beard. It comes with the package. So what should I do?A. Respect their wishesB. Stay home in protestC. Say "to **** with them" and wear it anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCFalconfan Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Go to the game and look for scalps. When the Panthers aren't winning, the tickets are cheap and plentiful. Buy a 20 dollar scalp and deck yourself out in Falcons gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxatlanta Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 That is poor form on their part. Either give the ticket without condition or don't. That said, take it and cheer for the birds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TdotFalcon Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 this one is easy. take the ticket and wear a jacket. unveil the falcons jersey upon first touchdown or first interception lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old fan Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Do they want you to sit on your hands when the Falcons score?I would tell them I appreciate the offer, but they are absolutely insane to expect a fan to, in effect, switch sides just for one seat in the Litter Box. Respect their wishes by declining the offer, but do it at the last possible moment so they don't have time to fill the seat with another Panties fan.

JayOzOne Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 There's no problem here. Either respect the wishes or turn down the ticket. To do otherwise not only makes you dishonest and might cost you tickets next year. I have no doubt that they could give the tickets to someone else, probably a Panty fan, but they did good to give them to a Birds fan, even with conditions.

durrdbyrd Posted November 14, 2009 Author Share Posted November 14, 2009 Be my choice, how would they know anyways?.BTW - Jesus had a beard? Well, they would know because I'm sitting with them. And yes, he had a magnificent beard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vabchbirdlover Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Well, they would know because I'm sitting with them. And yes, he had a magnificent beard. So you've already made your mind up to go huh? I think it's a bit unfair to make suchan unreasonable request. But if it was me, i'd adhere to their request and wheni got to the game, i would peel my outer shirt off to reveal a Falcon #2 jersey.But, that's just me, besides how long could they hold a grudge?

Tandy Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 If your sister knows you are a Falcon fan, she shouldn't ask that. If you asked her to a Falcons game, would you put those demands on her?Only you can decide what you want to do, we can only answer for what we would do.I would personally let them know that I would be respectful of the fans in any away stadium, but I will wear my Falcons gear and cheer for my team. If they decide not to give me the tickets I would accept their decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bozoatl Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 EASY ONE!Wear a Panthers suck shirt, and tell them "hey, at least its not falcons related" Or better yet, let them see you in a Panther's shirt, but when you get to the game, just stick on the word "SUCK" under the word "Panthers".......................................could work!!:P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the fans there will understand. I think she's just afraid I might get into a fight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyDmx Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Why should you hide your feelings about your team? I could care less if the tickets were from the pope and I was right smack dab in Oakland's "Black Hole" section. I would cheer my team on no matter what (I would bring back up though ).

RunningThePiszOuttaTheBall Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Go. You don't have to wear gear, just cheer your azz off for the Falcons. When Carolina has the ball, on EVERY play, stand up and shout Dee-Feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeense. You know, to make as much disruptive noise as you can to interfere with the offense.

thamill Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 I dealt with the same type thing last year. My buddy is a Charger STH and invited me to the game but asked that I keep it under control. I wore my gear but I wasn't an A-Hole when we won. I remembered that I was a guest. I cheered when the Falcons did well but didn't instigate anything or act belligerent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigSmackDaddy Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 I'd def. play superman with a Falcons shirt on underneath whatever you wear. Just wear a black polo with a red Falcons shirt underneath. When we score... pull off the polo. It's your sister... gotta give her h3ll!

falken Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Hire a lawyer and change your last name. It's bad enough to know a Panther fan but having them as family fambly is just unacceptable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falconsfan84 Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Hire a lawyer and change your last name. It's bad enough to know a Panther fan but having them as family fambly is just unacceptable.Hahaha. I live an hour from Charlotte, always have. My entire extended family are panthers fans (cousins, uncles). Luckily me and my brother are the only ones in my immediate family that watch football. He's a Colts fan and I'm a die-hard Falcons fan.

Peyton Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 (edited) Unless she told you that you aren't allowed to cheer, just put on a generic red shirt or black shirt and go get your free ticket man.
