With the Carolina Panthers surprisingly soon to be on the market, the franchise is getting interest from a few unexpected new potential owners, including Sean "Diddy" Combs, Stephen Curry, and now Colin Kaepernick.
Current owner Jerry Richardson announced on Sunday that he would be selling the team after a report from Sports Illustrated revealed accusations of sexual misconduct and the use of a racial slur.
Hip hop mogul and entrepreneur Sean "Diddy" Combs was one of the first high-profile celebrities to express interest in owning the team, tweeting out on Sunday night "I would like to buy the @Panthers. Spread the word. Retweet!" to his 13.9 million followers.
Shortly after that, NBA superstar Stephen Curry threw his hat in the ring, quote-tweeting Diddy's original message and adding "I want in!"

You are aware of Rushs’ history with the nfl right?
They should wait a few years, Franchise prices should be dirt cheap by then.
Its the perfect set-up
When they fail miserably, they can shout RACISM!
Kapernick could be a part owner? Then he can play too, and can’t be released or traded or benched. Interesting.....
Connie Mack managed the Philadelphia Athletics, and George Halas coached the Chicago Bears, for decades, because they owned the teams, and couldn’t be fired. Capernick may be in such position, first as a player, then as front office GM / owner when his playing days are over. He may be in our faces for years and years to come.........
Years ago when another team came up for sale Rush said one had to be worth billions to afford to buy one.
D. Piddy has a net worth of about $800 million.
He really doesn’t have the money he needs to do much of a buy-in.
Perhaps we can help him by initiating a petition encouraging him to sell both of his kidneys...
With the funds he can place a larger investment in the Panthers...
I LOVE the idea!
When it was revealed that Richardson used a racial slur, the world was outraged. Diddy of course said “ni$$a please”.
Combs should be blackballed for that awful remake of “Kashmir.”
According to Forbes Diddy’s worth $820 mil, of course that was back in May, he’s probably worth more now.
This needs to happen. I want to see these guys deal with being on the other side of the desk and all of the issues that come up.
Does he even have any money? I figure it was all spent on hoes and blow.
I think he is well aware or would not have posted

I agree.
Sounds like a Dream Team for Put options.
“The Carolina Black Panthers.”
Pretty much sums it up.
The Carolina Mouf Breathers
They would be a disaster on the field, as sports isn't too accommodating to secondary goals. Winning is all that matters; social justice is a distraction.
“According to Forbes”
Online net worths are always ridiculously inflated. Cut it in half and then cut it in half again and you’ll be in the ballpark.
As a former fan, I now despise the NFL. I would rather watch paint dry.
