Leaked NFL Documents: While Owner Cried Hardship, Carolina Panthers Had $112 Million Profit Over Two Years

I still believe JR should put together back to back winning seasons first before asking for public money. No winning season yet after he purged the team in 2010, while keeping Hurney, and he asks for more money? Get f**ked!

[Doc Holiday]

The only reason this is significant is that the public and in particular football fanantics are stupid.

Tiger Woods makes more than the entire Panthers ownership in a year.

this, most people do not understand economics, even with the headline there is still way to little information out there on this

[csx]

Again I ask where the fug were you and your protest when they built the PNC arena and the White Water center on our dime? I didn't see you out there marching Nelson.

There really are some sad people who spend such a great amount of effort to whine about their football franchise. If you really despise it so much then why not stfu and stop supporting it. Stop talking and make a stand you know? Nobody forces anyone to be a fan or to support anything so if you are all about the sanctity of sport go watch a fuging little league game already.

Time for good ol' Mr. Richardson to take huge bite from a sh1t sandwich.

What the fug does that have to do with his economical impact on this city and state?

W-L come and go but the jobs he provides the growth he inspired is the point in this argument.

It's fuging renovations you mouth breathers not new business or new infrastructure or new jobs

MetLife is 100s of millions in taxable income ADDED to the state every year.

They aren't hiring 2600 escalator operators

Aren't your PSLs enough skin in the game for the city and the Panthers? The city doesn't need skin in the game bc 70,000 people already do

If sold are you paid back that investment?

So the Panthers don't pose any financial benefit to the city/state?

[Panthro]

Then move your stupid ass to another state. I didn't see you protesting them using state money on that dumb ass water center in Greensboro or to build the PNC center for the Hurricanes. But now you want to play the victim tax payer role when it comes to the panthers? Go fug yourself hypocrite.

Reread what I said...there's no hypocrisy.

Smooches

[csx]

Right or wrong the city very quickly agreed to spend the money. I would say they obviously believe it is worth the investment of public money.

[Panthro]

So the Panthers don't pose any financial benefit to the city/state?

never said they didnt. Nothing new though

[CatMan72]

...and btw, don't forget that Charlotte wants to buy into the Panthers because they want to secure this 15 year agreement.

[Panthro]

So just call it what it is...a shakedown

JR doesn't care about keeping the team here (or the product on the field). He wants $100m and has spun it so well you people are fine with it to the point you are frothing at the mouth

and when exactly was MetLife renovated? oh wait, thats right. It was an entirely NEW STADIUM.

[Panthro]
