Panthers announce Hurricane Florence relief package

Recommended Posts

After Hurricane Florence touched down in the Carolinas last week, the Panthers said in a statement that they would work to “develop a plan to best assess the needs of the region and ensure we can effectively deploy resources to those most impacted.”

The Panthers announced their initial aid package on Thursday. The foundation of owner David Tepper and the team’s charitable arm will donate $1 million to the American Red Cross’ financial assistance program designed to provide “people in shelters with stipends and gift cards to help them transition back to their lives.”

Color me not impressed.  JordanO made larger don't and isn't as large as Tepper. Two per could use thousand dollar bills to wipe his a ss with and never run out of money 

I absolutely LOVE it when people have the audacity to judge how much people donate.  

Please tell me what % of your income your donating?  

I’m sorry, I don’t mean this to come across as a personal attack either.  But I freakin hate it when people judge the amount someone (usually higher up people) donates.  Any donation is a positive. $1 million is a huge help and trying to discredit it is ridiculous.  Even a dollar donation is better than nothing and should not be negatively viewed.

And the article even says “initial aid”, as in they very well could donate more.  

But I’m sorry him donating ONE MILLION doesn’t “impress” some of you.  I wasn’t aware helping those in need was about impressing people.

Probably won't be able to donate anything as the storm shut my wife's job down for the foreseeable future and my cancer surgery which was rescheduled due to the storm will already cost us several thousand dollars and we have insurance, that is our share, and we have damage from the storm that will not be comped via homeowners for at least another grand.  So gfy.

So then why do you view him donating $1 million, which could go into helping open the job back up and helping with damage, as a negative? 

My purpose of asking you that wasn’t to tell you that you should donate - I’m a college kid with nothing to offer.  There is no shame in not donating.  My point was that any donation should be appreciated, and saying a $1 million donation “doesn’t impress you” sounds stuck-up and entitled. 

I wish you the best in your recovery regardless

See above Teppe rd million is less than a buck to you and me.  Does he have to give anything? No .  But if you do for God's sake be sincere as to your means.  Million to Teppe r is as sincere concern as trump in New been yes terday.

If you haven't noticed this isn't the only thing he gives money for. Your point would be valid if this was the sole cause he supports.

This  is where you say "Yeah, I probably jumped to conclusions" not doubling down

A million dollars is a million dollars.  You’re literally holding it against him because he’s rich.  That is illogical.

And who cares if it’s “sincere”?  If someone gives you $1 million, are you gonna not accept it because it “isn’t sincere”?

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
