Except it will have the opposite effect.

People would eventually have just left the Richardson scandals behind, but Jerry effectively left them a huge reminder.

That little ego trip is gonna backfire.

Yeah I was just praising JR for getting out of this quietly but he couldn't leave well enough alone. Petty act that does nothing but serve as a team distraction.

[Sam Mills Fan]

Even if you're one of the racists and sexists that still worships Jerry Richardson, you have to admit not letting the new owner do what he wants with the statue is pretty awful. How is mandating how another owner does what his own property "conservative"?

I gotta give it up for the Panthers A/V team. That video conference was A+

[Arroz con Panther]

I can't be the only one who doesn't care what happens to the statue, right? I understand what JR did was terrible and I'm not trying to defend keeping the statue up, but my god, some of you guys care waaaayyyy too much about it. Also, we have no idea if JR was the one who said the statue had to stay. Perhaps, there's a contract with the guy or company who built it? I don't know...I'm just tired of hearing about it. It's like you guys want to keep going and going until no one knows who JR is... I'm sorry, but like it or not, that will never happen; statue or no statue. Like someone else said, don't look at it if you don't want to see it. Flick it off every time you walk by it if it will make you feel better....that's probably what I'll do.

Muahahahaha. Statue stays. Now all you SJWs can go tear it down. Since you're so smart and edgy.

Ok

[TNPanther]

Meh...it’s a statue. If it weren’t for the people on this board I wouldn’t have noticed it half the time anyway.

Maybe Tepper didn't give a crap about the statue and whether it goes or stays. Obviously means more to JR than anyone else. If it really offends you go through the South or East gate. I never see the statue and really don't care. He is gone. What else really matters.

I haven't seen it.  I go in the East gate and out the South gate!

Short term outrage,

Mid term, mild condemnation

Long term, nothing. 

 

Not to excuse his actions, but in the grand scheme...... 

 

1. Ask the casual fan of another team, and even if they heard of a scandal , most can't tell you what it is.  

2. Ask most Panther fans I've talked to are more concerned about the season that JR.

3. <redacted>

It's amazing how many of these new Panthers "fans" are just undercover PC cops.  Get a god damn life, you losers.  

[Mr. Scot]

For those who missed it, it doesn't appear to be up on the team site yet but the video is posted on the team Twitter.

Because writing hand written creepy as hell letters to female employees asking to shave their legs is tolerable.

I am one of the least politically correct people you can find, and I am certainly no "social justice warrior".

And I am definitely of the belief that Jerry Richardson is a creepy, perverted old man who deserves every bit of scorn he's getting.

[Mr. Scot]

Rapoport confirms the statue staying up was in the sales contract presented to all potential bidders.

So yeah, the creepy, egotistical old bastard made it a condition of buying the team.

never underestimate the ego of entitled billionaires
