    I am from NC, believe it or not. People can identify with whatever they want, but it’s kinda silly when they are identifying with a company that really isn’t southern any more.

    It’s kinda like how people are dedicated to their home NFL team when none of the players are from that area. It confuses me, s’all.

      Yeah, people are weird. I tired to say I preferred Popeyes to boj and had a room of people who were borderline upset about it. Silly.

        The south can be really tribal like that. Once someone gets hooked on the southern baptist group-think schtick, independent thought is near impossible. I ain’t saying that is the case for all people, but if Bojangles being a sponsor of NASCAR is important to your life and belief structure, odds are fairly high that someone else is making decisions for you.
