Jerry Richardson riot reaction was "damn near criminal"?

My retort to a Sporting News article. 

[twylyght]

Pretty much a shame for what passes for journalism anymore

[cookinbrak]

So you make it look like JR called them criminal? Was it the writer that said it?

[csx]

More lazy media. I wont call it journalism.

[SZ James (banned)]

phrasing...

 

e: He would probably say something stupid anyway

[Khyber53]

Damn, that was well said Jeremy.

Jeremy, you are more of a journalist than the vast majority of today's media, sports and otherwise. We appreciate you man. 

All yall reading this should get All-Pro and support this man!

[imminent rogaine]

IDK, maybe JRich should be/is more than just a rich guy with an office downtown... There are countless instances of him using his power and money to effect positivity. Meanwhile we're stuck with poo like this....an elected NC congressman voices his views clearly: "They hate white people, because white people are successful and they're not".

Pretty much today's media. Throw together a quick opinion to be the first to report, then present as fact. Can't waste any time chasing something as insignificant as truth.

PS:  That's about Steele, not Mr. Igo

Those kinds of articles are part of the downfall of civil discourse in our culture.

It's easy to make some click-bait title, rant wildly, hit the publish button and watch the clicks and ad revenue come in.  There is ZERO journalism with much of the internet press.  Many of them are jerks with keyboards and a wordpress blog.

As Panther fans we know JR and the Panthers organization.  I think TD and Olsen said it really well in their press conferences.  We're not Baltimore, we're Charlotte, NC.

Sporting news was being very very lazy yesterday with their articles that the Panthers should do more. Dude its just football, somethings are way more important than sports. 

[Mr. Scot]

The Sporting News is still in business?

[BritishPanther]

Having read the 'article', my first thought was to respond angrily. But, I've promised myself not to get aggravated by any idiot who has access to a keyboard. I'll save it for 'Aints and Failcons fans instead.

Yes.  Jerry said it.  And there is nothing "damn near" about it.  He showing restraint and was much to kind.  Peaceful protest is one thing, but once you pick up a rock and throw it you've crossed the line to criminal.  Rioting is criminal.
