TheGreatBuzz Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 So do they do this auction style? I consider myself moderately wealthy. I have some liquid cash. I offer $50k right now. Willing to go as high as $80k. Cash money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redskin4ever Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 I'm guessing he is hoping to get out before all of the claims against him are made public. I don't know how much is in them and if they are to the level of some of the other scandals we have seen. But there must be something in them he is hoping isn't made public.

I don't know how much is in them and if they are to the level of some of the other scandals we have seen. But there must be something in them he is hoping isn't made public. Multiple sexual harassment claims that he settled with the victims and had them sign non-disclosure and non-disparaging clauses for. Also he made racist comments, one to a minority scout that is no longer with the team. I stated in the sexual harassment thread in the tailgate that I think there are a few reasons he went ahead and announced that he was selling the team: 1. With all the celebs and people of power getting exposed for sexual harassment, etc. and the racist comments, he knew that disgusting behavior wasn't going to go unpunished and just said screw it on trying to fight it. 2. His health, he is 81 years old, had a heart transplant back in 2009. Probably didn't want to go through the stress of fighting this and potentially making his health worse (think of what happened to Joe Pa with the Penn State cover-up). 3. Possibly the main reason, POWER. He announces that he is selling the team at the end of the season right after news leaked of the investigation is his decision. His choice. Nobody from the league or the other owners forced this decision (think Donald Sterling w/Clippers), it was his own. People in power like this always have to be in power, make their own choices, etc. Doesn't matter that if this information had not been made public, he probably never sells the team until he's almost dead. Also, Colin Kap wants in with Diddy to buy the team. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/early-lead/wp/2017/12/17/diddy-wants-to-buy-the-panthers-and-sign-colin-kaepernick/?utm_term=.11bfc7234b78 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExoDus84 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Can we sell Snyder to the Panthers, and have somebody new buy this team? Is that an option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Comrade2000 Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 You know the Panther's stadium lease ends in 2018. Would a new owner movie them? I wonder if Gibbs gets involved in some ownership group? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if Gibbs gets involved in some ownership group? There isn't any reason to move them from Charlotte, NC, so I doubt they move. Gibbs is still heavily involved in his race team, possible he could be involved in an investment group but I doubt it. Here is an article from Forbes that lists potential owners: https://www.forbes.com/sites/kurtbadenhausen/2017/12/18/here-are-12-potential-new-owners-of-the-carolina-panthers/#5efc10f6be16 I seriously doubt Diddy puts together enough people/group to win the bid, same with Jordan. Mark Cuban is probably the best qualified on that list, but doubt he gets a shot, like the article says, he has taken shots at the NFL in the past and there is doubt they would break the rules and allow him to own two professional teams not located in the same market. I'm going to say it will be an owner nobody has really heard of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsFTW Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 I think this owner is being smart and with all the problems the NFL is having with 1/2 empty stadiums, 6 dollar tickets, and viewership declining, he's getting out at the perfect time. Oh and he's older than dirt as well. Why end up like the Redskins getting bought out by a buffoon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he the reason that the rule was changed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglesfandan Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Diddy and Krapernick will buy the team and it won't be long until they are known as the Black Panthers. Then every SJW will be a fan and they will all kneel during the National Anthem and claim that the NFL treats players like slaves like Warren Sapp claimed at one time lol.

They are not going to be relocated from Charlotte. No reason to leave that market, they are top 10 in overall league attendance (#8) too. Living in Charlotte, I'm curious as to who will buy the team, I'm thinking it may be one of the minority owners (Levine family is my guess as they are worth like 10 billion). But it depends on what Richardson decides to do, allow a buy out of his 48% or sell the entire team and cash out with the minority owners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
