quote:

“Florida fans, settle down. You didn’t know what hockey was until like 1993. You literally didn’t have hockey. You’ve never won a cup. The average person who follows sports has no idea what city you’re attached to,” Simmons said. “You’re the Florida Panthers. Are you in Jacksonville? Are you in Orlando? Are you in Palm Beach? Nobody knows. The answer’s Miami. But literally most people don’t know that. You sit there and you’re dressed in red. You’re waiving your dumb hankies. You’re wearing your DeSantis 2026 t-shirts under your jerseys. Nobody knows where the f**k you play. F**k off.”


quote:

While the Panthers spent their first five years of existence in Miami, they’ve actually played in Sunrise — which is located more than 30 miles north of Miami — since 1998.

This is kind of dumb. Thats like making fun of a Texas rangers fan for thinking they play in Dallas.

I've never heard of Sunrise, Florida. He mistakenly said the wrong city but it really only supports the point that few people know where the Panthers play.

That’s what happens when you take hockey out of Canada and bring it to places you shouldn’t

Kinda, but to be fair Sunrise is a suburb of Ft Lauderdale, which is a pretty large city in its own right and it's all pretty damn far from Miami.

Amerant Bank Arena is next to one of the largest shopping malls in the world (Sawgrass Mills Mall) and hosts a ton of major musical acts/shows.

Bill Simmons is just a hater that has a New England sports fandom which causes him to hate teams that live in better climates than his.
