Cheer leading is a PT job with relatively low pay. Most of those women are professionals in other fields. I can completely accept that she's highly capable. What I find hard to accept is that she wasn't an enabler. It'd be difficult to secure such a high profile position of power in the Panthers back office, as it has been run by Jerry, without being complicit in what's been going on. 

Oh she definitely was. No doubt about it.

I really don't care though. She's just day-to-day manager now and probably won't be with the organization in a few months. And honestly her job probably won't be much different than before, Richardson probably isn't in..the best of mental health and she was his personal assistant. This move has little bearing on our season.

For those saying she was an enabler...what exactly should she have done?  Only taken a job where women aren't treated horribly?  Because speaking from experience, those don't exist.  She couldn't have gone to the cops.  As far as I know, nothing that was done was illegal.  As horrible as it was, this is not a Sandusky situation.  And I doubt anything she could have done anything that would've stopped it.  She just would've gotten fired & probably had her name smeared.  Just my two cents.

I saw her name mentioned in the SI article as someone whom Richardson was very close with.

"During his tenure as Panthers owner, Richardson has, outwardly anyway, been a champion of diversity. Cam Newton, the Panthers’ African-American quarterback, is the spindle on which the entire team is wound. The Panthers have a Hispanic head coach, Ron Rivera, who took over for John Fox in 2011. A decade ago, Tina Becker was the team’s manager of cheerleader and mascot programs. Steadily promoted, she is now the de facto team president, a member of Richardson’s inner circle who represented the Panthers at October’s NFL owners’ meetings."

That's where I saw that.  Knew I remembered it from somewhere.

LMAO... manager of cheerleading and mascots and now if head of the Panthers??  Talk about under-qualified...

She had a lot of other jobs between those two assignments.

To be clear though, shes running the non-football side of the Panthers.  Hurney is still in charge of anything football related.

Plenty of people are speaking up now. Someone had to do it sometime. Maybe if people hadn't told themselves to just go along to get along for so long, this would have happened a long time ago. 

You either contribute toward changing a culture or reinforcing it.

      I don't think Rodgers but probably not for the political reasons I bet a lot of posters are motivated by. I just think he is not the QB for the Panthers, at all.

      It wasn't great but  the 2022 NYG won 9 of 16 games plus a playoff game. He had a 92.5 passer rating. 15 pass TDs 3200 yards, 7 rushing TD, 700 yards 6 fumbles 3 lost.  His first season he had 18 fumbles lost 11. Wow.  Anyhow he had problems in 2023 with injuries and didn't win poo before tearing his ACL. This year, no Barkley, not good, but you know.... these ACLs take a while and it was right and he throws right so pushes off of it.  I agree it doesn't hurt to let that guy compete cheap. You don't hand him the job like with Bryce or NYG with him.  When I look at what we have been saddled with, he doesn't look worse and has the physical advantage. So I don't get the umbrage given our situation. This "No we won't settle for anything less that the best" attitude and then taking Bryce Young was pathetic and I think that attitude brought us to where we are. That's where that poo gets you. Away from Mayfield, away from Darnold, even away from PJ - just to replace them with an inferior PJ.  At the same time I am not really advocating for the guy just looking at it objectively. It could be another guy with the same story. And yes the odds of him getting it are low but the numbers and performance from 2022 are for sure better than we see with Bryce even after a season of major propping him up with better players around him. Take a look don't take a look he fails or he doesn't fail...   to instead sit here and be happier with what we have is bullshit.
