Mac the Knife Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 There's apparently an agreement in place to sell the Carolina Charlotte Panthers. Price tag: $ 2.2 billion. The buyer is currently a part-owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers. The last Steelers part-owner to buy a majority stake in a team was Jimmy Haslam. Make of these facts what you will.

dfwabel Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 David Tepper also has by far the highest net worth of those bidding and vetted. Richardson took his net worth and his membership status in the club over a higher bid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac the Knife Posted May 15, 2018 Author Share Posted May 15, 2018 From his Wikipedia entry: Quote Tepper keeps a brass replica of a pair of testicles in a prominent spot on his desk, a present from former employees. He rubs the gift for luck during the trading day to get a laugh out of colleagues. Oh, boy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's cool that there are so many people that can quickly capitalize billions of dollars for sports teams but not sports stadia. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Keith Olbermann used to say on his program, “if the stadiums actually made money the owners would pay for them themselves.” Shows how much of a farce the whole thing is.

Mac the Knife Posted May 15, 2018 Author Share Posted May 15, 2018 You might think that, but if you look at Jerry Richardson, he's in some ways the NFL's equivalent of Donald Sterling: a man who granted has billions of dollars, but in the process of gathering them essentially alienated everyone around him, including members of his own family. I mean, what does it say about you as a father... hell, as a human being... when your two sons, whom since acquiring the franchise you've planned on handing it over to, up and quit on you on the same day?

Crabcake Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Correct me if I’m wrong (and I am probably missing something big here), but if a Steelers owner (albeit a minority one) buys the Panthers, doesn’t that represent a huge conflict of interests unless he sells his shares in the Steelers?
