Did he?  I saw news articles stating that both the Panthers and Rock Hill wanted to host the NFL draft, but I haven't seen any news article stating that a promise was actually made by Tepper or the NFL.  

So Rock Hill decides to pay all of this money for a facility and gets nothing out of it? Sounds like a great deal for Tepper and the shaft for Rock Hill.

Rock Hill wasn’t going to give Tepper money to build his oasis just for shits and giggles. Promises were made to Rock Hill in some capacity and they probably weren’t going to be kept?

Do you normally give someone millions of dollars if there isn’t anything in it for you?

These criticisms give me the same energy as people complaining about rich people taking advantage of tax breaks/loopholes on their personal/corporate income taxes.  Is it shady, or at the very least terrible optics?  Yeah, but the actual problem is with the economic and political systems in place that allow these things to happen.  Guys like Tepper (and every other billionaire) are just an inevitable byproduct of these corrupt systems.  People furious at Tepper are misdirecting their anger.

Tepper revenue stream comes from Charlotte.   Then he shits on local community.  Rule #1 in everything… you don’t poo where you eat.  Billionaire or not.

I don’t have a problem with billionaires or how they take advantage of the system, after all, the system is corrupt as you mentioned.

I do have an issue with them looking for handouts and taking advantage of tax payers in their own fuging community.

How quickly we forget George Schinn.

It’s sad that some sheep can’t even see that there own money would have been used for Tepper’s project if they lived in York County…

New schools… nope… better roads… nope… a new place for Tepper to put his brass balls… cha ching.

Clearly so…

Yeah, that's...an incredibly stupid thing to say.

Can't say I'm surprised though 🙄

You have no understanding of the business of business…

Why do you keep asking me what options there are?

Because you have an amazingly unique alternate reality that appears to avail you of info /concepts that supersede all traditional business norms and I figure if I ask you the right questions possibly I will learn something 🤔…

I don’t blame Tepper for asking. I do blame the politicians for saying yes.

Intellectual words don’t mean much when you jumble them into a sentence yet the sentence is still incoherent.

So you don't have any evidence he promised they would get the NFL draft?  Fwiw, it would be a stupid thing for him to promise, and stupid for them to believe he could absolutely produce it.  He doesn't control where the NFL draft is held.  And the Draft is usually held in places like Las Vegas, NYC, Denver, and Cleveland.  Charlotte might have a shot.  Rock Hill, probably not.  

Don't get me wrong, the deal was probably a bad deal for Rock Hill from the beginning.  But if so, they should never agreed to it in the first place.

he doesn't, he has major talking out of ass syndrome

Also, I find it hilarious that some of the same people bashing Tepper here are Trump supporters in the tinderbox. Like bro, what

I haven’t stepped foot in the tinderbox and it’s easy to read between the lines in that Rock Hill was under the impression that this new venue would allow them to host the NFL Draft which is asinine.

https://www.fox46.com/news/u-s/rock-hill/documents-show-rock-hill-wanted-to-host-the-nfl-draft-more/amp/

“The Panthers and city leaders wanted to bring the NFL Draft to Rock Hill”

So at the very least it was talked about between Tepper and Rock Hill and Rock Hill obviously thought it was a possibility since they originally went through with the deal.

I thought that there was a proposed big mixed use development around the Rock Hill facilities? Wouldn't that have been even more profit and taxes?

It was: When completed, the development will include restaurants, retail, a healthcare facility, apartments, hotels, trails, and office space.

I guess there was not enough profit in the apartments and such to make it worth the squeeze. Then again I wouldn't live in Rock Hill either. I also wonder how much the pandemic and economic downturn played a roll in the nuking of the project?

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
