do you have any cliff notes of that article?

Here is an excerpt:

One of the more interesting aspects of covering ownership is the perception of owners by fans and even many in the media that the owners are pseudo-gods—men of industry, world conquerors—when in fact they are ordinary, flawed human beings like the rest of us. Their blemishes are hidden by money and power. Perhaps most interestingly, in some cases, the reins of a franchise are simply handed to a son after a father passes. Some of them, like John Mara, son of the late Wellington Mara, who ran the Giants for decades, work hard (and intelligently) to make the franchise better. They have the drive and smarts to do it.

They also do not flaunt their privilege. Late in 2014, a sixth-grader named Cade Pope, who is from Yukon, Oklahoma, wrote all 32 NFL owners, telling them he was looking to become a fan of a team and asking each why he should support them. Only one owner wrote back: Jerry Richardson, owner of the Carolina Panthers. Richardson sent Pope a replica team helmet signed by star linebacker Luke Kuechly and a handwritten note. "Cade, we would be honored if our Carolina Panthers became your team. We would make you proud by the classy way we would represent you," Richardson wrote.

I'm still upset about that. After the news broke, the Chiefs owner also wrote back the kid...and the kid went with the Chiefs...

It's not actually a Bleacher Report article.

It's an excerpt from the book 'Two Minute Warning' by Mike Freeman.

So now we know PU is a kid in Oklahoma.
