I'm sure the team pretty badly wants to put the Jerry Richardson misconduct story behind them as soon as possible. How do you do that if you have a GM who was the target of a similar complaint?

Even if he's found not guilty, people aren't gonna forget that so easily.  Heck, how hard did media - even at a national level - go after Cam Newton for a comment that unintentionally came out as sexist?

(heck, don't be surprised if people bring that story back up now too; trends and all)

If he is not guilty then there is no problem unless you are one of those ppl who already was prejudging the guy anyways before FACTS came out.

Is this for real?

Did Ezekiel Elliott do anything illegal or that was game affecting?

Hurney is technically a league employee so he's subject to the personal conduct policy.

And think about it: If they go easy on Hurney after being tough on Elliott, what are people gonna say?

That’s a good point, I didn’t think of Zeke. I guess they could find some way he violated league policy. As much as I hate the Cowboys, I do feel like Zeke got screwed a little bit.

Elliot was accused of domestic violence. By 3 different women.

But they arent the law, if the law is letting it go, how can the NFL keep investigating and so on? Are they above the law? 

The law has different requirements than the NFL does.   I am not even sure that most of what she accused Hurney of is even illegal, unless there was some kind of restraining order.

Isn’t it illegal to hack someone’s personal property and B and E?

Anyone else see the potential hypocrisy here?

JR and Hurney often passed on players that had unsubstantiated rumors regarding character.   

How does the organization justify hiring Marty under these circumstances?

Interested to see how this plays out.

That is why I said most.  From the list I read, only a couple of things would be illegal.

Sorry I missed “most” my bad.

I'm sure an ex-wife would never lie about her former husband, that would totally never happen.

All this harassment B.S. is just that B.S.  Everytime someone gets their feelings hurt they automatically scream racism or sexism or whatever.

You people that bash JR should be shot and quartered.  No matter how good or bad he was to this franchise if it weren't for JR your stupid asses would still be cheering for Atlanta or Washington.

80+ year old man came from a different era and probably has said some things that 20 years ago would have been blown over.   No one knows exactly what was said or done but to JR's credit to allivate some of the pressure he sells the team.

Every indication is we won't get a better owner, just a new one.  To this day we have no idea who is the frontrunner for this franchise.  It will be some asshat that is going to hold Charlotte hostage for a new arena and we'll end up losing this franchise.   Many of your frontrunners don't remember the Carolina's without a franchise.  IT SUCKED.   Some of us older fans appreciate everything JR did for us and bleed Carolina Panther Blue and Black.   

While JR wasn't the perfect owner and didn't bring us a Lombardi and least he wasn't Jerry Jones or Daniel Synder that can't keep their dumb asses out of the day to day operations.   Just to remind you mindless twits that bash him over mediocreness.   Neither Dallas or Washington has won the Lombardi Trophy since the Panthers have been in existence.  In fact, a couple of seasons we were the reason their season ended.

Becareful of what you ask for.  YOU MIGHT JUST GET IT!!!!!

Mr. Richardson, thank you for you undying efforts to bring a team to the Carolina's.  Without your efforts I would not have the incredible memories that I share with my family and friends.

But wasn't investigated for everything, and the thing that kickstarted it was his pulling up a woman's top in public. A woman's rights group threatened to sue over that.

Well she is either really stupid or this is all true because why would she she fug with her alimony by making him lose his job??

[RoaringRiot]

Hurney hating extremists are spinning this one really hard. For your sakes I hope there's more of a story than there appears to be. I'm not a fan of Hurney as a long term solution, but this just seems like you're trying really hard.
