this is a W if I've ever seen one
letting Getts go and putting Hurney in there was the L
Why couldn't it have been Dan Snyder?
He's the right kind of racist.
Iran more like a group of people would be the buyers. Sorta like jester with the marlins. He didn't do it alone.
You could have diddy, steph and others join in and buy the team
Let's do this! I'm not sure all the NFL teams are going to like those round trips to Central Africa though... or possibly having their games delayed by Thanos attacks.
Hopefully his bitch plantation owner ass will be next.
Jerry Richardson was a special kind of dick in the NFL.
He was the owner who wanted to completely deregulate the union AND wanted to strip all NFL employees of access to heath care.
Plus he was against fucking against paying the refs on a contract they already agreed to. He was a cancer to the sport and now you know he was a cancer to be around.
He shouldn't be able to walk away with a fat paycheck, The Owners should kick him out.

Baseball is THE old boys club. They have no interest in any radical changes. They are only interested in owners who won't rock the boat. Damn shame if you ask me as Cuban could have done wonders with the Pirates.
They let Jeter's group buy a team despite not being able to afford it, yet an owner like Cuban who loves throwing money around at his team to improve them isn't allowed in. Let that sink in.
Get those kids who tore down the statue in Durham to come and tear down that awful statue of Jerry in front of the stadium.
Most baseball owners are terrified of other owners coming in and spending money like the Dodgers or Yankees. Keeping payroll and the union in check is all they care about/
Its why they would rather have an owner like Jerer and Bruce Sherman with no cash that helps inflate their value when selling.
It is a passive business that is for sure. Also, I think after George the owners decided they had enough of loudmouth owners who would not toe the company line and rock the boat. Now they are all about tradition.
Now teams are filled with former hedge fund managers and Wall Street level statisticians. They want consistency they can track and manage and having an owner like George that would say fuck you to teams like the Royals that claim they are in a small market is really what the sport needs to grow.
Imagine if the Yankees had a Cowboys like deal where they collected 100% of their own merch money? If Cuba bought the Cubs he'd be going after a deal like that.
Absolutely. As a lifelong Yankees fan I think The Boss was the best thing to happen to baseball. If nothing else it forced the small market teams to be creative in their team building andmeant that ownership was not as passive of an activity.
I don't think Steph Curry or Puff D(a/i)ddy has the kind of money necessary. Maybe as part of an investment group, but not as individuals. I bet the team sells for at least 2 billion.
The Panthers fought the city for a measly $87 million in upgrades a few years ago. Disabled season ticket holders complained about not being able to get to their seats, so they put in elevators. They also improved the jumbo-tron.
The team threatened to leave and have already made it public that they wanted more money from the city.
The city relented and ponied up the funds and the Panthers agreed to stay. They are currently in year 5 of 6 of this agreement.
"But after June 2019, there is no requirement the team stay in Charlotte." Article here: http://www.charlotteobserver.com/sports/nfl/carolina-panthers/article190274159.html
This is a 20 year old stadium they are going to want the tax payers to replace. I'm not big on handouts to billionaires, so they can fuck off and move to a new city and sucker those taxpayers.

As a NC born and bred kid who came of age when the Panthers came onto the scene in the mid 90's I am enraged at the kind of man Richardson is. It has been rumored for a while, and whispers around the team were that he was responsible for the teams slump last year. So this does not come as a huge surprise. It's why my fandom has taken a serious hit over the last few years.
But damn my father, brother, and I have given quite a bit of money to this man over the last 20 years. I'm glad his ass will soon no longer be a prominent member of the Charlotte community. I am so damn sick of rich, racist, mysogonist assholes doing whatever they want to people they consider to be beneath them. Fuck you, your reckoning is just beginning.

Biggest piece of shit of them all. The cowboys are are refuge for rapists, drug users, and assaulters.

It was a gift from "the team" to him, right? It struck me as ridiculously gaudy and stupid whenever I walked past it.
Cuban got snubbed because of Jerry Reinsdorf who was one of Selig's closest allies in MLB ownership. It's like if someone tried to buy the Panthers that either Rooney or Mara hated there is no way their pet Goodell would let them in the club.
There is a ton of politics and factions within sports ownership. We have seem lots of glimpses in first with the LA and Vegas moves and then Goodell and Jerrah's feud.
Should be interesting to watch the Panthers sale because Richardson was part of the group close to Goodell and Mara.

Replace Jerry with a statue of Steve Smith.
If no longer tolerating assholes that look like me (i.e. Richardson) is considered racist, then yeah I'm fucking racist and proud of it.
I mean we all are happy that people like Richardson and Sterling are not owning teams in major pro sports, but the Panthers are worth a reported 2.4 billion dollars last I checked. You don't think that kind of money can do just as much if not more damage in other industries?
yo if we get a steph, kaep, and diddy ownership group I'd buy psl's on the spot
Listening to First Take this morning, he apparently called some of the black players "boy" according to Ryan Clark.
Oh the salt and meltdowns would be glorious.
It absolutely can, it's why they need to have their wealth taken from them via taxation.
I imagine that Richardson has already thought about selling the team before this all started. It seems like quite an overreaction. So I don't buy that he's selling simply because of this.
No way he has enough money to be anything more than a token half a percent owner but it would still be cool.

word around town is that the minority owners were going to/did push him out over this
The owners approve all sales. If they actually are blackballing Kaep, he would be cancer to any ownership group trying to buy into the NFL.
this has been a thing for a while. that's where the story came from about people being paid off and NDA's being signed. one of the worst kept secrets in town.
seems like it, yeah. I don't personally know anyone that close but I'd bet they were waiting for an opportunity like this to get him out. I think him being 81 had a lot to do with nothing happening before now, he wasn't gonna last much longer anyway.
Yeah I REALLY hope this happens!
Diddy, Steph Curry, Kap... Hell if this happens, I'd buy a jersey!
LOL.
Kaep can't get a job. He buys the team and be the starting QB for the Panthers.
Just because he says he's stepping down doesnt' mean anything. I wouldn't be surprised if he changes his mind at the end of the year while the nfl deals with more important issues like bobbing on the military.
