So they’re not removing it?

And shouldn’t this ‘concerning’ news be a hint?

Per Scott Fowler in The Observer, Richardson didn't know and wasn't warned that this was happening (link)

Sources said that Richardson wasn’t aware the statue was being taken down Wednesday before the work began. Richardson declined to answer questions directly about the statue through his spokesman, Jim Gray.

Gray did release the following statement on Richardson’s behalf: “Mr. Richardson has made no public comments about the Panthers or the NFL since the sale of the team and doesn’t plan to do so now as a private citizen. He has worked to treat all people fairly in his business and personal lives and, like many other Americans, is troubled by recent events in Minneapolis, Charlotte, and around the country.”

It makes for a convenient excuse.

Mandatory kneeling week 1, or you're escorted out of the stadium and forfeit your PSLs, if you are a PSL owner.

You really think that would ever happen?  Seriously...all hyperbole aside.

Not to derail the thread here but one thing that would go A LONG way in rebuilding and helping our country is to do away with non disclosure agreements. It’s almost a get out of jail free card for the wealthy. We need to hold people accountable especially people who are supposed to be leaders in our community.

very amusing seeing some fans whine about this as if the entirety of dude's legacy is encased in this wack statue.

Absolutely. It’s totally a realistic and very sincere point of view and would totally not be difficult to enforce. Idiot.

I think if the statue were small and not so gaudy, they probably would have left it.  But that statue takes up so much space.  

1.Ugly and gaudy

2. Takes up too much space in the front of the stadium

3. JR bad guy.

Supposedly this is "temporary."

I suppose that remains to be seen.
