"London Panthers has a nice ring to it!"

[Carl Spackler]

Panthers social media team is still sucking up H A R D to London. Retweeting stuff like this: 

 

The very instant that Tepper asks for anything from Charlotte, Meck Co. or state government and he doesn't get it, "London" will be in the next sentence he utters. Make no mistake about it. If he doesn't get his way with a stadium and has the tourism tax foot the bill, the London Panthers will be a reality.

[Ja Rhule]

1 word... “Brexit”

[Rags]

If it comes down to that and we lose the team, sucks, but that's the business.

I'd hate to lose an home town team to root for but it's dumb to bend over taxpayers blindly for gross stadiums.

[Carl Spackler]

Tepper has done absolutely nothing to dissuade me from believing he has a George Shinn-like attraction to moving his team wherever he gets fellated the most.

Don't think for a second that these tweets aren't strategic. They have to be approved by a higher paygrade who is following a directive from someone high up on the food chain. SMH.

My favorite soccer team is in London so I won’t be too devastated.  I doubt the Panthers will move to London. Panthers are making way too much money in Carolinas... team like Jacksonville is more like it.

[Mr. Scot]

Yeah, I don't buy that there's any actual hint of the Panthers moving.

The one thing I do think was fun about yesterday is that the Panthers made a great impression on the London audience. I could conceivably see them becoming England's new favorite team.

And even though I'm not a big fan of the whole playing games in London thing, that's kinda cool.

Somehow I doubt any team moves to London. Travel time would be brutal for west coast teams too. LA - London is like a 12 hour flight. That's some ridiculous homefield advantage.

[Mr. Scot]

They're about to spend how many millions of dollars building a practice facility / team headquarters in Rock Hill... and then they're gonna move and leave it behind? 

(does not compute, Will Robinson)

The NFL thinks it wants a team in london but right now the NFL is a novelty, they have no ties to any team. They just wear whatever jersey they have in the closet. Once the honeymoon wears off they are going to stop showing up and that doesnt even talk about the logistics of traveling from London to the West Coast.  

[Datawire]

The London Panthers will not be a reality. The financial under taking alone would be so massive it would easily surpass even that of what he is currently wanting to do in Rock Hill.

So the millions spent on the new facility just across the line makes you think he'd likely up and move across the pond? Yeah I think some NFL team *might* wind up moving to London, but it won't be the Panthers. That facility says Tepper plans to be here for a while, otherwise he wouldn't waste the money.

[pantherclaw]

Tinfoil hats. Put them away.

[Tbe]

“Make no mistake about it”...

Tepper can’t do anything without league approval.

There are other teams making way less money in other markets that the league would rather move

The Brits are even less inclined to pay for the toys of Billionaires. 
 

Not gonna happen.

Yeah basically until I get that whole teleportation thing I've been working on in the garage up and running, the logistics of London to west coast just seem prohibitive. Initial tests didn't go so well, maybe I should bring somebody in with a science or engineering background.
