The Carolina Panthers have a decent season and suddenly football everywhere north of the Mason Dixen line is mediocre and/or overrated.![]()
No....it's been overrated since the early 80s. Most NFL players come from the South.
So even when the Giants or Steelers or Patriots win a Super Bowl....most of the players are Southern guys or California guys.
You guys up North have huge cities that pay a lot of money to watch our natives play football. You all just generally aren't that good at playing yourselves.
It's why the South absolutely dominates college football....because in college most players go to school close to their home state.
St. Thomas Aquinas High School of Fort Lauderdale has most NFL players; California leads all states; Miami tops hometowns | Youth Football | USA Football | Football's National Governing Body
Pittsburgh has 10 people in the NFL. How many does Charleston have in the NFL? lol
Several. SC and PA have the same number of NFL players in 2015....despite PA having 4x larger population. Per capita we are far more athletic than Pennsylvanians.
Off the top of my head.....at least 4 Pro Bowl caliber guys.
AJ Green. Carlos Dunlap. Byron Maxwell. Roddy White. They have all been star players in the past few seasons. All are from North Charleston.
Not as many as Pittsburgh. Why are the people in your city so shitty at football? lol.
I love the South and it's people greatly but you only seems interested in running down other parts of the nation. Fuck that. I love every region of this nation b/c I love America, even the people that I disagree with. It is a pity you can't feel same way.
Pittsburgh has more plumbers too. That metro area is about 4x the size of Charleston. Charleston has about 6 or 7 players on active rosters. Compared to 10. Per capita our residents are far more likely to produce NFL level talent than Pittsburgh.
Oh....and your home states beloved powerhouse college football team, Penn State? It's highest drafted player was overall #1 pick DE Courtney Brown......from Charleston.
