As an atheist I'd prefer to not have to sit through it. I bought a ticket to an NFL game not church. However I'm not going to get my panties in a wade over it. I constantly have people trying to make me participate in their religious poo, so the Panther game prayer doesn't stand out all that much.

I knew someone would disagree.

Don’t care about what he believes. I just care about winning. As long as I’m able to sit down and watch a winning football team on Sunday not a political protest I’m good.

maybe we can have a different religion do a prayer every game, looking forward to Pastafarian Day against the Seahawks

Well of course.

Isn't it funny how people will turn on Tepper for having the brass balls to state the obvious?  He values his relationship with his wife, he practices the golden rule.  To me, that means he has character and is loyal to the person to who he made a promise.  That is honesty, not left wing liberalism and it is the kind of leadership we need.  It is ethics--it is integrity---it is morality.  Tepper will tell the truth.   He is not FOX news, the Enquirer, or MSNBC or the Golden Globe awards.  He deals in truth, not cafeteria-style, cherry-picked, self-serving propaganda.

If someone like Tepper calls you a name, you may not like it--it may make you mad because you lack his values or think your versions of reality are applicable to all--but it is probably spot on and you should rethink your perspectives.  He makes objective decisions.

That is a real leader.

Not an athiest, but I defend your right to be one.  Rather that that an evangelical who supports lying, infidelity, some abortions if the sinner works to help force their ideology on others....at least you are no hypocrite.  Now, back to Tepper and the Panthers and a return to real news and facts related to football.

Don't give me this crap you act like you're apart of his family. You don't crap about who he really is and what he is going to do. All we can do is hope he puts a winning team on the field, and not try to make us another team. We are the damn Panthers!

[Davidson Deac II]

He sounds a little like me politically.

But I want him to keep the team in Charlotte, and no new stadium for at least 10 years.  Don't do stupid stuff like Richardson did.  And try to win.  Beyond that, I don't care what his politics are.

And there is this:

Quote

He has a “cartoonishly huge” set of brass testicles on a plaque with the words “The Most Valuable Set of All Time” on display in his office. An unnamed former employee said he had stuff thrown at him by Tepper and described his personality “like Jekyll and Hyde.”

 

[Towelboy]

i wonder how this will affect charlotte vying for the RNC. the new team owner may not want the stadium that houses his team to host trump's party.

Here's the paragraph from the original article they're referencing...

Quote

 

“He’s an asshole, to say the least,” says someone who worked with him. “I had stuff thrown at me. He can be a nice guy off the desk, in the kitchen or walking to the car. It’s almost like Jekyll and Hyde, you didn’t know any given day who was going to walk through the door.” This is not merely someone with a grudge. When Tepper coached elementary-school kids in softball, Phil Glassman says, he could be heard screaming all the way down the block.

Tepper admits he can be difficult. “I used to be worse,” he says over the phone. “When I was at Goldman, I’d say things to people like, ‘Do you know what a schmuck is? Go look in the mirror.’ Now I’m kinder and gentler. Aren’t I kinder and gentler?” he asks his employees.

In the background there’s silence.

“Aren’t I kinder and gentler?”
