Why the Carolina Panthers’ new banner policy goes too far

For 20 years at Bank of America Stadium, Anna Hunter and her family have impressed me with their bedsheet-sized banners. There have been a number of times when I saw their handiwork and thought to myself: “Now, why didn’t I think of that?”

There was “Tshimanga’s Tsherrific!” for Tshimanga Biakabutuka. There was the one when Kevin Greene, nicknamed “Salt,” came back with San Francisco to face the Panthers after a bitter contract dispute and the Hunter banner read “Happy to Be Sodium Free.”

More recently, there have been creative banners celebrating the Panthers’ secondary and defensive tackle Kawann Short.
