Diddy and Kaepernick want to buy the Panthers

[twizza 77]

Plus, Kap has a lawsuit pending against the NFL. He would have to drop the lawsuit. if he got a chance to own a team.

 

[bossflossy]

They aint got enough bread for that... Piddy at like 800mil the panthers valuation is at like 1bil.

Niggsz need some type of coalition.... Diddy need to Holla at mj

You do know that every team in the NFL is not solely owned by 1 person.

They have majority owners who have the most say so but all teams have an OWNERSHIP GROUP.

Raiders and cowboys are owned by one man each. Maybe others

the raiders have several owners, the davis family owns 47% and have control. a wall street investment group owns 20% and the rest is owned by a group of 8 people and their heirs who invested when al david first got the team

sfgate.com/raiders/tafur/article/Davis-family-will-retain-ownership-of-Raiders-2328012.php

Al Davis had owned 67 percent of the Raiders, but that dropped to 47 percent in 2007 when he sold a 20 percent interest to a group of investors led by East Coast businessmen David Abrams, director of the Abrams Capital investment firm, Paul Leff, founder of the Perry Corp. money-management firm, and Dan Goldring, managing director at Perry Corp.

BRING IT! Bring kaepernick! I'll take The Most Courageous Gentleman of my time over cam newton (women sports journalist have no place here)!!!! Political? Maybe, but too late. No going back on that fact. North Carolina needs an overhaul regarding intolerance, racial injustices, prejudiced history, descrimination, appallingly acceptance of white nationalism and dangerous hate groups!

I'm already taking a knee. I'm in! Besides the fact (as Mr. Combs has indicated) it's time for Black ownership! The time is now!

diddy about to drag cam in this shit now lol lookin at the comments

 

[TheNightKing]

As long as they don't move them out of Charlotte. That's what I'm afraid of most with this sale.

 

[marc123]

It'll probably be someone in Silicon Valley.

Zuckerberg or Jeff Bezos.

When i 1st heard they were being sold. His name 1st came to mind. Question is does he want a team.

 

[AggieLean.]

As a fan, hell no to Diddy. Would be ecstatic with Kaep and Curry being involved; as well as Jordan. I just want it to be someone who’s not going to move the team. One reason, I’d be happy with Steph and/or Jordan. Both Carolinians, with Steph being a huge fan

 

[2stepz_ahead]

i would straight become a panthers fan and buy gear

nigga im always gonna be a 9ers fan

but i will support this move

Lol they can't move a team unless the nfl votes and approves. In order for them to approve, you need a plan already set for a stadium in your new city. Funding and everything.

 

[farris2k1]

Kap money aint nowhere near long enough to even seriously consider that shit, niether is curry and that dude got way more bread than kap

 

[KamPushMe]

Anit the team worth 2 billion? Diddy don’t got that type of money

 

[2stepz_ahead]

i think alot of yall need to stay away from the business side of this.

he aint got the money?

smdh

 

[Colin$mackabi$h]

If they believe I believe

 

[Angeles1son85]

Anit the team worth 2 billion? Diddy don’t got that type of money

and he gonna cash out its value at 2.3 but since he gettin pushed out he gonna try to get 3 bil least or close to that

here a list of buyers from forbes

Jon Bon Jovi: The rocker couldn't afford the Panthers on his own, but Bon Jovi and his partners were the runners up in the 2014 sale of the Buffalo Bills for $1.4 billion to Terry and Kim Pegula. Bon Jovi's group bid $1.05 billion for the Bills, which are the NFL's least valuable team.

David Tepper: The hedge fund titan owns a 5% stake in the Pittsburgh Steelers. Tepper, 60, would have no trouble funding a purchase, with significant cash holdings as part of his $11 billion net worth.

Jeff Bezos: The Amazon founder is now the richest person on the planet at $99.8 billion as of Monday morning. Bezos has not expressed interest in buying a pro sports team but could certainly afford it and has made outside the box investments like his purchase of the Washington Post. Bezos could be an invaluable resource to the NFL as it sorts out its future streaming options for its games.

John Sall: Sall co-founded SAS with Goodnight and ranks as North Carolina's second richest resident. The pair own a country club and hotel together.

Michael Jordan: MJ is worth an estimated $1.4 billion, with roughly $600 million of his net worth tied up in his 90% stake in the Charlotte Hornets. Jordan took control of the Hornets with $25 million in cash while absorbing $150 million in debt and agreeing to fund future losses. Control of the Panthers will require a much bigger check. Jordan recently participated in the $1.2 billion Miami Marlins purchase, taking a stake estimated to be less than 1%.

James Goodnight: The co-founder of analytics software firm SAS is North Carolina's richest resident at $9.9 billion. The 74-year-old still runs the company and could write the check for the Panthers easier than anyone else from North Carolina.

Bruton Smith: The founder and chairman of Speedway Motorsports is one of the most common names associated with buying the Panthers due to his experience in sports. SMI manages eight Nascar tracks. His fortune was valued by Forbes at $1 billion in March but the value of Smith's Sonic Automotive car dealerships are down since then. Another red flag: Smith is also 90 years old.

Steve and Jerry Wordsworth: The Wordsworths are the biggest minority shareholders of the team with an estimated 16%. The family is North Carolina royalty. They sold Meadowbrook Meat Company to Berkshire Hathaway's McLane Company in 2012.

Levine Family: The family owns around 10% of the team. Leon Levine founded Family Dollar in 1959 and the Levines ran the company, headquartered in the Charlotte suburbs, until its sale to Dollar Tree in 2015 for $9.1 billion. The Levines are major philanthropists in North Carolina.

Belk Family: They owns roughly 5% of the team. The South's first family of retail sold its department store chain in 2015 for roughly $2.7 billion, ending a 127-year corporate dynasty.

naw, fuck the kap thing...it aint got nothing to do with taking a knee and all about performance. Lets face it. Charlotte a cool city, I live here, but its also kind of white bread. The way some of these people are here I can see them refusing to support the team if diddy took over. Not only that but Richardson's mindset is one carried by many in the area, so for anyone else to come in and try to do things another way may force them to move to be successful regardless if they happen to be black or white.

 

[Shizlansky]

Kaep ain’t gon be involed.

His money is peanuts and would not have ANY say in anything regarding the team.

 

[PureYang]

Nigga fucked it up by blasting it already. Now folks are going to start scheming against whatever group they put together (especially if Kap is in it) instead of being caught off guard. You're supposed to make your big moves in silence. Still hope they get something going, though.

It's a publicity stunt

 

[playmaker88]

Ice cube gonna buy them and gonna name them the Carolina Cracka killas

Might as well be.

[5 Grand]

I think you guys are missing the point about Kap.

When Diddy buys the team Kap will be the starting quarterback.
