Carolina Panthers donate to victims of Charleston shooting

this had better make the news. it probably wont. but we should flood social media with this. have you ever heard of another NFL team doing something like this?

so proud to be a Panther fan today!

continued prayers for the families of the victims. it was truly amazing to hear a few family representatives publically forgive that monster for what he did.

It should but the media only promotes negativity which is a damn shame. Very nice of the Panthers to do.

Can't recall a time I've been more proud to call the panthers my team. Amazing gesture from Mr. Richardson.

It's on ESPN's front page, and yes, other teams do this in their own state. That's why we did this awesome thing. It happened here.

That is class personified right there. 

Well done by Mr. Richardson.  Not just the kindness of the gift, but also the respect he gave to each victim in the letter.  His kindness was also timely. As those families are planning the funerals of their loved ones at least the weight of some of the financial burden is lifted.

Yes, class personified.  And I believe someone who truly cares.

Beautiful gesture. Cheers to the Big Cat, and condolences to the families of the victims.

Wonderful.  The families and the church are in my prayers. 

Glad to be a Panthers fan today.

Top story on NFL.COM right now. Good to see the big cat and this organization getting some positive press.

reading the comments on NFL.com it amazes me how ignorant and thickheaded some people are

Couldn't agree more !! I work at MUSC in Charleston.  My wife, who works in the Charleston county library system, lost a colleague, and the wife of one of my colleagues lost a friend in this tragedy.  Mr. Richardson did a great thing to help the family of the victims.....  Proud of my city and proud to be a Panther
