News broke today that hedge fund manager David Tepper is all set to buy the Carolina Panthers after Jerry Richardson was forced to put the team up for sale amid a sexual harassment scandal. Tepper will reportedly pay $2.2 billion for the team, and I know you’re wondering about one thing and one thing only: Is this guy…
On Wednesday, Carolina Panthers defensive backs coach Curtis Fuller suddenly and surprisingly resigned from his position. No reasons for the resignation were given at the time, and head coach Ron Rivera only said, “it’s a complicated situation,” when directly asked about Fuller’s departure. Today, the team has…
An anonymous former Panthers employee wrote a lengthy article for Sports Illustrated today, detailing how Panthers owner Jerry Richardson sexually harassed her and addressing his myriad defenders in the NFL world. Richardson will soon sell the team because of the NFL’s investigation into allegations of workplace…
The Panthers were eliminated from the playoffs yesterday, meaning that owner Jerry Richardson’s active stewardship of the team has all but come to an end. Last month, Richardson put the team up for sale after it was revealed that he’d been accused of multiple instances of sexual harassment and racist behavior. Still,…
In his postgame speech yesterday, Panthers coach Ron Rivera asked players to break after yelling “Mr. Richardson” on the count of three—a reference to team owner Jerry Richardson, who has given up day-to-day operations of the club and put it up for sale after being accused of multiple instances of sexual harassment…
Well, this is moving swiftly. The Panthers announced on Friday that they’d opened an investigation into what we’ve since learned are accusations of workplace sexual harassment and racial abuse by team owner Jerry Richardson, and by Sunday the team had announced that Richardson would sell his ownership share in the…
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was asked to comment on the reports of sexual misconduct and racism that led to Panthers owner Jerry Richardson putting his team up for sale yesterday. Jones made it clear that the whole situation has made him very sad, not for the women that Richardson is said to have sexually harassed, but…

Jerry Richardson has been aggressively seeking taxpayer money to fund upgrades to his 17-year-old stadium, despite leaked documents that show the Panthers are incredibly profitable. Here's another thing Charlotte residents didn't know until today: Richardson was invited to address the city council's "closed" session…
The North Carolina general assembly passed a bill this morning that will allow the city of Charlotte to allocate two tourism taxes toward funding for $300 million worth of renovations on the Panthers' stadium.
There's still a lot to unpack in the Carolina Panthers' financial statement, which we published Thursday. That document showed the team bringing in $112 million in operating profit over a recent two-year period, one that saw owner Jerry Richardson pleading hardship on behalf of his fellow NFL plutocrats before the…
In 2010 and 2011, as the NFL prepared for and staged a lockout of its players, Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson was among the hardest of the hardliners, urging his fellow owners to "take back our league" by demanding a more management-friendly collective-bargaining agreement.
It's an inescapable conclusion at this point, but the NFL doesn't want a team in Los Angeles. A big empty lot, with the potential for a new stadium and team, is far more valuable to the league and the owners as a threat than as an actual franchise. As teams attempt to wring taxpayer money out of their communities for…
Bank of America Stadium is a perfectly modern and lovely venue that hosts 10 football games a year. But Panthers owner Jerry Richardson wants more! He wants new escalators! A new video board! Better wi-fi in the stadium! And he wants you—the fan who already pays to attend games—to pay for most of the upgrades.
Back in April, Panthers owner Jerry Richardson told the Charlotte Observer that he's never wanted a "roster of 53 choirboys" on his football team, which is a very nice and almost renegade sentiment for a 75-year-old millionaire to share. But he also doesn't want a quarterback with tattoos, piercings, or long hair.
