Michael Rubin Serious Contender For Panthers Ownership

This is interesting

Quote

Another bidder has emerged in the race to buy the Carolina Panthers: Michael Rubin, the owner of sports apparel retailer Fanatics.

Sources say Rubin, whose primary residence is in Pennsylvania and who currently owns a stake in the Philadelphia 76ers, New Jersey Devils and the Premier League team Crystal Palace, is considered a serious bidder in the race to buy the first NFL team up for sale in three and a half years.

...

Rubin has a solid reputation in the business world and is not scared to use his platform for things he believes in. He recently voiced his support for Meek Mill, the rapper whom he befriended and is now serving two to four years in prison for a controversial probation violation. Rubin has reportedly tried to use his influence to get him out of prison.

If he prevails in his bid for the Panthers, Rubin, 45, would be the second-youngest owner in the league behind the San Francisco 49ers' Jed York, who turned 37 this week.

Couple of thoughts posted in the Ownership Options thread, but I like the Rubin option, and think the NFL will as well.  Tepper might be the favorite because of money, Steelers ties, and he seems more likely to be part of the old boys club.

But Rubin, kinda like the Observer article mentioned, represents more of where the NFL is going.  Online/E-commerce ties, partnerships with Amazon, and an important one that cannot be understated if Rubin needs a partner as he likely will....Alibaba.  If I'm Rubin, I make a pitch based solely on hey, y'all want to sell a TON of merchandise and licensing agreements in China?  Well I'm your guy. Now sell me this team.

Some owners are already familiar with him,  and the NFL already has a 3% stake in Fanatics. It would take basically all his net worth if he were to do it alone,  but he is still a serious contender for obvious reasons.  

I like him.  No baggage, already familiar with the industry,  and has a conscience. And he's a relatively young guy which probably means he's a little more in touch with today's athletes.  

Rubin is a guy I can get behind.

Also having a guy like Rubin would make FA interesting.  A lot of good relationships with players already, could either mean guys want to flock here to play for him...or he plays the Richardson role wanting contracts given out to his favorites and hurts us.  I think it would be the former, for the most part.

Couple things I notice...

The article lists "the other bidders" but doesn't mention Sabates. I think that could be telling.

The "second youngest" thing isn't necessarily a good thing to me, especially not when you look at Jed York.

Also, the news that the Fertitta brothers dropped out because they didn't want to divest their casino holdings is new. I thought things might have just gotten too rich for them.

Sounds like the price could go either way. More bidders drives it up. People holding off because other teams will be available soon could drive it down. I guess we'll see.

If the price does go up, that certainly favors the guys with the deepest pockets.

His business is defined as a competitor to Amazon not a partner.

      Anthony Richardson benched

      I didn't say much bigger. Watch the highlights I linked. Bryce doesn't have the arm strength and/or talent to make the vast majority of the throws Mac made in that video.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Tetairoa McMillan.   The last 28 1st overall picks were either a QB, DE, or OT. Seeing as I don't think we'd take an OT in the 1st and give up on Ickey as an LT yet and there doesn't seem to be a clear overall #1 type of QB or DE pick this year, it very well could be a non conventional #1 overall this year, at least in regards from the last almost 3 decades of drafts. If we didn't have Horn, I'd be more open to Hunter as a CB at #1, but we have him so another CB wouldn't be how I'd use a #1 pick.  And as much as I love Legette, if we have SB contending aspirations, I don't think Legette is a #1 on a team like that, but he damn sure is an elite #2 on a team like that.  He's more of the Smith/Higgins/Waddle to Brown/Chase/Hill (in terms of role/impact, not style of play of course). T-Mac is going to be the top ranked WR on every team's board in the end.  He is going to be a true outside #1 WR who is viewed as a consensus Top 5 WR in the game by his second contract in the same way guys like Jefferson and Chase have done.  His height combined with his speed, athleticism, and hands are near impossible to find all in one player, there is a reason his generally used comp is Mike Evans (although as he's not as thick, I personally see him more as an AJ Green). Yes, as an Arizona alum I've admitted to having bias towards the player to begin with.  But he's also someone very widely being put into the Top 5 in mock drafts lately and most of them have him as the first non QB offensive player being taken, so it's not really THAT much of a homer pick on my part anyways. If a QB or DE truly separate themselves as being a can't miss prospect come draft day, I'm open to that discussion, but until then, or if it doesn't happen, T-Mac is my pick 100 times out of 100.
