JR just responded to the situation differently.  He could have acted like Snyder but he agreed to sell the team instead.  They can't really force anyone out if that person is willing to be a pariah.

JR knew they had the votes to force him out. Makes me believe that somehow they didn't for Snyder.

Richardson got pretty bitter about it shortly before the end.

Probably because he didn't get the price he thought he could get but I also kinda got the impression he didn't necessarily want to sell to Tepper.

Tepper has since all but erased Richardson from Panthers history.

I didn't realize a 3/4 majority could remove an owner.  That's unreal that they couldn't get a 3/4 vote for Snyder.  Really gives you some perspective on the nature of most of the owners in the NFL.

Class solidarity amongst the super rich is incredibly entrenched.

Didn't work for Richardson.

He floated the idea of an internal investigation, likely thinking that the league would back him up. They didn't.

Snyder? It's hard to understand, but one possibility might be that some other owners don't want the skeletons in their closets to come out.

Richardson really didn't fit the league anymore. League owners have gone from being ridiculously wealthy people to being ridiculously wealthy people even in comparison to ridiculously wealthy people. We're talking about some of the very wealthiest people on the planet.

I mean yeah that much seems clear. 

They'll stick with you as long as it remains advantageous, and the vast majority of the time it's most advantageous to keep that class solidarity, lest ye be taken down as well.

      FLA showed everyone it’s not about superstars. they bullied the best line in the NHL into obscurity. they played hard, were in the right positions, and ran over everything that got in their way.

      That’s really not what you said and when I even expressed doubt as to your intentions with the post you doubled down and remained unclear on whether you were trying to drag Dean Smith for whatever reason. You just got the facts wrong, which if you don’t follow the local college programs like you say then maybe you just were mistaken and thought Smith didn’t win championships or have legit superstars, and that is ok, but you just doubled down when my first post was more corrective than anything. I’m not sure what you expect posting objectively false things like “RBA has a lot of wins with nothing to show for it like Dean Smith” (paraphrasing) on a message board with plenty of UNC fans. I’m not taking it as a personal affront, we can agree to disagree, Dean Smith’s legacy fortunately will not be affected by this conversation. Screw the (Florida) Panthers?

      Bring in the free agents and trades.  Florida is the best team and unless Tulsky makes it happen, it’s more of the same…which isn’t bad…but it’s time to win a goddamn cup.
