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.

Makes you realize that the “birthday present” the Panthers staff said it was probably isn’t true. He probably asked for it himself

Tepper stressing a family atmosphere, an open work environment where people aren't afraid to bring up issues all the way to the top.

Jerry had a "family" atmosphere, but I think that was more in the sense that he's the big daddy and everyone else better fall in line.

yay

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.

Agree. I'm not PC at all either.

I had a lot of respect and appreciation for Richardson when I moved to CLT in 2010... The values he promoted seemed sound and made this a team I wanted to support.  But he has totally lost all respect, especially because there has been no apology or expression of remorse.  Very glad JR is gone!!!

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

And apparently a criminal act of condoned vandalism by some fans here is also tolerable.

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

amazing how many Panthers fans are fighting to keep a dirty old billionaire's gaudy statue of himself

Acknowledging that it's likely to happen isn't the same as condoning it.

That said, given the kind of person Jerry Richardson is, I can't say it'll register with me as exactly "tragic".

Are we going to go into the season without a CBs coach?

This!  I don’t know why this isn’t talked about. Weakest position on team and no coach

Pretty sure Richard Rodgers is the DB Coach. He just doesn't have the title.

Those silver helmets are terrible. Unless you like 90s era style and look. Seahawks had these horrible silver helmets too. They wised up and changed them. 

Don’t sleep on Steve Largent man.

There was speculation on  wfnz statue deal is between Richardson and the city since they own the land. Tepper inherited that....or something
