I might be exaggerating a bit, he JR seems like a cross between Donald Sterling and Harvey Weinstein

Well to be fair, Weinstein is a legitimate rapist. No indication Richardson ever went farther than workplace harassment.

There is a comparison to be made though in that this has apparently been going on for a long time, a lot of people knew about it and victims were paid off to keep quiet.

In all three cases, the common thread is powerful men abusing their power.

This could be very bad for JR, but not the team. Unfortunate it is happening at all, but probably going to be completely fine for us fans.

Regretful that since it is out,  it didn't happen before Gettleman being fired.

Won't be surprised if Gettleman is questioned as part of the investigation.

So do we need to tag some people in here that argued JR's no tattoos or cornrows demands on Cam Newton weren't at the very least vaguely rooted in racism?

Reading through that SI article.... I have to be honest it sounds like his employees at every level of the company enabled him. Who stopped him and said the way he was acting needed to change? Who stopped him and said a monetary payout wasn't good enough? Nothing he did sounds criminal to me. It just makes him look like a delusional creep. 

I do wonder if Danny Morrison left the Panthers because he couldn't get the behavior to stop and didn't want to be associated with it. 

Also, if all these people took cash for silence, are they legally bound to maintain their silence during this investigation?

Yes but this isn't really about them taking payouts, it's JR behavior that's under investigation.

yes but there will be others who will be interviewed by the nfl who were not paid off.

The Panthers are going to lose draft picks because of this.

I mean, who is really surprised?    Dude acts and looks exactly like someone who would do this.   EXACTLY.    If you told me some old, white, rich dude was taking advantage of his standing in this world I would picture someone EXACTLY like Jerry Richardson.

[KendrickPanther]

This is a bit awkward because I don't know where the laws fall on this. It doesn't feel like a criminal matter. It just makes him look like a bad person that we wouldn't want our Panthers associated with.

He's an established wealthy powerful businessman and the owner of the team with a plethora of resources at his fingertips and could make the life of any former employee a living hell if he wanted to. The fact that you can pivot from that and his actions to attempting to shift blame toward the people under him with limited options and certainly no millions in the bank is ludicrous.

Right now I'm just hoping Richardson walks away from this voluntarily.

That's probably the only way to keep from making this worse for both the team and his family.

knowing how stubborn he is, this process could be long, drawn out, and exhausting before he’s inevitably dethroned

Disgusting and hypocritical
