Diddy wants to buy the Panthers

First of all, Diddy can't afford the team.  The fact that when it comes to black people, you have to look at entertainers in order to buy sports teams, should tell you the wealth standing of black folk.  Their are endless white billionaires who could buy this team, and none of them have to be movie stars or rappers.  Black people are poor in this nation, with a median net worth of $4000. ($11,0000-$16,000 if you include depreciating assets.  I don't include them because depreciating assets like the family car isn't wealth)

In any case, I don't want this rapper, entertainer, wannabe entrepreneur being the owner of this team.  Especially if he is supposed to represent black folk.  Why must these entertainers be our spokesmen?  It goes back to something Malcolm X once said, but I suppose if any black entertainer should buy this team, let it be someone like Byron Allen.  However even though he's a billionaire by now, I don't believe he could afford this team.  Perhaps a guy like Robert F. Smith would like to buy the team, who's probably worth over 4 billion by now.

Bob Johnson was a horrible owner. Pretty much everything he did in Charlotte while owning the bobcats was a disaster. I still recall him attempting to charge CMS $20k for the arena to have high school graduation.

What about Dale Jr.?  He’s got ties to N.C., has a net worth of 300 million, is a business man and a football fan.

He probably can’t afford it. I think his next career move will be in the broadcasting booth. I’d like to see how he does on TV with other sports besides nascar.

There is no way the other 31 owners will approve this.  Absolutely no way.  Whatever his name is will make a mockery of the league.  Going to sign Kaepernick.    

 

NO way.

This 

those rich old conservative men would laugh for days if puff daddy tried to buy the panthers.

I wonder how involved he was in the team.  Some owners buy teams to make a profit.  Well, all owners do that, but some aren't interested in seeing the team do well in itself, or do right by the fans.
