Panthers owner facing misconduct allegations

The Carolina Panthers have opened an investigation into allegations of workplace misconduct against owner and founder Jerry Richardson.

In a statement Friday, team spokesman Steven Drummond acknowledged accusations had been made against Richardson, 81.

"The Carolina Panthers and Mr. Richardson take these allegations very seriously and are fully committed to a full investigation and taking appropriate steps to address and remediate any misconduct," Drummond said. "The entire organization is fully committed to ensuring a safe, comfortable and diverse work environment where all individuals, regardless of sex, race, color, religion, gender, or sexual identity or orientation, are treated fairly and equally. We have work to do to achieve this goal, but we are going to meet it."

Richardson became the first former NFL player since George Halas to own an NFL team when he was awarded an expansion franchise on Oct. 26, 1993.

The investigation is being led by international law firm Quinn Emanuel Urquhart and Sullivan, LLP, and will be overseen by minority owner and former White House chief of staff Erskine Bowles. Because the matter is under legal review, the Panthers cannot comment publicly on the specifics of the allegations.

"I have had a strong relationship with Mr. Richardson during my time with the Panthers," coach Ron Rivera said in a statement to ESPN. "I have enormous respect for the man, but will wait for the results of the investigation before making any judgment."

The timing is better but Vince is just too damn delusional to make it work, if another league has any chance of working the league basically needs to be almost identical to the nfl but scaled back on all the rules and regulations that are ruining the game today, the focus needs to be on good football and putting out a good product not big hits and buffoonery, while not penalizing players for big hits and bringing back old school football is all good and dandy they still need to implement the safety precautions that the nfl has or the league will come under fire fast not to mention people are more educated on cte no one with a brain is going to risk their livelihoods playing in a league that’s not protecting them, he needs to make the league beneficial to players somehow where actual talent will go play there like a salary plus a % of the leagues profit, as the league goes their pay will go plus other benefits, and forget a February through July schedule they need to compete with the nfl during the fall and winter just line up the times different, a 5 o clock primetime game on abc would do well, and last but not least get Kaepernick to be the face of the league to get it started, but first thing Vince is going to do is have John Cena kick a horrible promo before the first game and kill the league before it even starts

Think long term, it will be considered a joke at first but don’t do dumb shit to get people to tune in like half naked girls in the locker rooms or whatever they used to do back then, start mid August when people are feening for football, don’t make players play on short weeks or travel to London, be patient keep putting out a good product and watch the tide turn if the nfl keeps fucking up

 

[Will Munny]

The media makes it seem like the NFL is hemorrhaging terribly but they are still a huge force. They aren’t doing as bad as everyone makes it out to be. They might be in 50 years, but not right now.

In before some idiots dont get the motivation/implication

If there was ever a time to challenge the NFL, is now. Watch him try to cater this shit to a "certain" demographic

They should not play at the same time as the NFL at first. Is best they take advantage of people's thirst for football during the off-season and play then.

I would go August through November or December, I agree with taking advantage of that thirst but I would do it by starting earlier, usually by August I’m thirsting for football and there’s really no competition until September you get a head start to get people invested in the season, if they do February through the summer it will just be a league keeping the seat warm until the nfl season starts I’m pretty sure that’s what they did last time and it didn’t work out even though in theory that would be the best time, as far as start times maybe Friday nights and Sunday mornings and a primetime game at 5 which would conflict with the 4 games but those games are usually games on the west coast so I would do east coast games on Sundays at 10 and the primetime game and I would do west coast games on Friday nights
