The Carolina Panthers will be up for sale following the 2017 season, with Jerry Richardson announcing his intention to put the team on the market when Carolina's last game ends. Although Richardson did not address the NFL's investigation into alleged workplace misconduct, it is clear why Richardson would be moving on after more than 20 years of being the face of the franchise. At least one potential buyer has already emerged, and he is promising big things. And it would be a different type of owner than you are used to seeing, because Diddy wants to buy the "North Carolina Panthers." The rapper/producer/mogul tweeted on Sunday afternoon that he is interested in the franchise and wants to become the first African-American majority owner of an NFL team.

A fool and his money.
He’d have it made. If racists didn’t buy tickets the government would buy them as reparations.
Halftime shows will never be the same! Gay BLM rap-musicals?
No one, in the modern era, has ever bought an NFL team and lost money.
If I were Jerry Richardson I’d do just that. Put the black man in the white man’s exclusive power club. Those smoke filled rooms will smell different.
Remember, his problem is not with blacks, it’s with women. The power structure is dropping him like a hot potato because of it. Get top dollar by saying something disparaging like the L.A. Clippers owner. That will make it even more difficult. He has a history of taking a hard line vs. the NFLPA. He has red though. Former NFL player.
I think Goddell is forcing him out.
But selling the team now will seem like a great move in few years.
Giants ready to move on from future Hall-of-Famer Eli Manning as he goes 2W-11L.
Kaepernick deserves permanent starting job after going 1W-10L.
Kaepernick 32W-32L. Cam Newton 64W-47L.
Starting Kaepernick makes perfect sense to Mr. Combs.
SJW and fake NFL commissioner Goodell will grease the deal for him. Guaranteed.
LOL do it!!!!!
The Social Justice League on its way down the toilet.
He might wind up with a losing team that makes money on licensed gear.
The revenue from NFL gear is divided among the teams.
The Buffalo Bills make as much money as the Dallas Cowboys on the licensed merchandise.
I certainly did not know that.
You go diddy! Ccanntt wait to see the cheerleaders!
The whole team can kneel then.
The whole team can kneel then.
Jerry Richardson’s estate for the win! It will probably transact like Ballmer’s purchase of the Clippers - way above recent valuations - and Richardson will be out of business with a lot of problems and an uncertain future. Jerry Jones only wishes he could do the same.
LOL...I would have sympathy for their fan base. But that is about it...
After all, the team's become a wasting asset.
Play the race card if the other moronic owners object to Diddy. That is, take a knee while announcing his willingness to sell to Diddy to the press...
