D Will says Panthers didn't reach out to him when his mother died

[QCkilla]

What is so hard to understand about this? No one attended the funeral and Jerry Richardson (the greatest owner in all of sports who always does the morally correct thing like firing his sons and blackmailing charlotte) did not personally reach out to him. He never said no one in the organization reached out, he said Jerry Richardson didn't. Ron Rivera and David Gettleman very well may have reached out to him. If people find it petty that he is upset that the owner of the Carolina Panthers can reach out to a 13 year old fan who is trying to find a team to root for, but cannot reach out to him when his mother dies then I am not sure what else can be said to you. The team is clearly in the wrong.

Richardson's business decisions (one of which was made under the influence of drugs related to open heart surgery) and how he treats a player that he, by all accounts, loved aren't really comparable

Maybe they have a tough time separating the family atmosphere from the business side.  DWIll was a panther for a third of his life--tough getting cut.

 

It takes time getting over a mother's death.  I give him a pass.  Look at his life the past year-money doesn't  buy everything. 

 

 

Exactly this. Christ, people think money is the solution to all problems. Hasn't DeAngelo lost like 3 or 4 close family members to breast cancer now? Between that and coming to the realization that he doesn't have much time left doing the thing he's done since he was a kid is going to do things to you emotionally. Cut the guy a break.

My money. ...

They reached out and pry gave their respects but didn't go far enough in his opinion

Where did he say that? Has the full interview been posted yet?

Something happened here, because I don't think Deangelo is making it up, but it is also counter to everything we know about JR or Rivera. So, this is a weird story

[Panthro]

The Panthers did reach out to him. He just feels they didn't do enough.

He also wrote that one article on an air plane. Lol

Dammit

there's smf withholding his opinion like he said he would

 

by the way if what jeremy said is true then he's basically slandering the panthers organization but a lot of people on this site lap that poo up so it's brushed off

This place lacks walking in other persons shoes.

He's not backing down...

Edit: tried to post screen shot, he is calling Zod out on twitter saying he should make calls.

I always liked DWill but he's doing nothing with this but tarnishing his rep IMO...

He's not a Panther any longer so I don't care. He seemed like a good dude, but this makes him look like a little spoiled brat. Even if true, it's berween D and the Panthers and he should keep it that way. Dude was paid mega millions that he didn't deserve, he should appreciate that and STFU.

he posted a 14 second clip on his twitter page that has the exact quote. He said that no one in the organization attended the funeral and that THE OWNER OF THE PANTHERS never reached out to him. he never said no one reached out to him.

He's now trading shots with Igo on twitter. This thing is heating up.

Then Molly Grantham's tweet is misleading
