They are not called the Charlotte Panthers. Its’ the CAROLINA Panthers! If you support a losing team that’s 2000 miles from you, like the Cowboys, that’s your problem.

That’s the point Panther fan, they should be called the Charlotte Panthers because the only people that benefit from the team or give a crap about the Panthers, are people who live in Charlotte. That’s why you have more visitor fans at home games than Panther fans.

Just so you know, the Cowboys didn’t finish with a losing record like the Panthers have for 3 years in a row now and Dallas beat them last year too.

You’re just making yourself look bad.

Why shouldn’t Big Cat?

Charlotte benfits from the team so they can let Jerry shake the city down for all the money he can get from them. Leave the states out of it!

How can that be?

The media has been telling us for past two-plus years we are in an economic recovery!

They were just in a fight with each other over a billion…not the billion but the last billion…and a year later they are gonna ask for $62 million in tax payer money to fund a stadium!?!?

Hey Jerry we know the truth. You made it very clear last year. You are not hurting for money and we the people are. You or any other owner want a stadium then you can go right ahead and build/upgrade it all by yourself.

If the NFL is worth billions then pay for it without tax dollars. Call their bluff NC!

Calling the relocation bluff didn’t work out well in Baltimore, St. Louis, Los Angeles, Cleveland, and Houston…

I’m not so sure that I’d be willing to call the bluff with LA waiting and San Antonio with a stadium in place (even if it has to be replaced within the next couple years.)

By holding out a team relocating over any city that doesn’t give into billionaire owners, the NFL essentially blackmails money out of taxpayers. To a large degree, the team owners are little more than shakedown artists today.

The taxpayer is overwhelmed. This is ultimately a rich mans sport. Let them pay for it. Or let the fans of the Panthers pay for it or find fans that will. But leave the guy holding down two jobs to pay his mortgage out of the equation.

He doesn’t want taxes to be raised and a smaller government. Oh wait, he wants the tax payers to subsides him and that’s fine. I forgot money can go from the bottom to the top but not the other way around.

Richardson needs to fork out for this not the people. Until he opens the wallet and fields a consistent winning team, i’ll call the L.A. bluff.
