Are we sure Tepper isn’t the real life version of Rachel Phelps from Major League?

For people who haven’t seen the movie (you should, it’s hilarious): Rachel Phelps takes ownership of the Cleveland Indians, jettisons all their good players, with the long-term plan of being so bad that fans stop coming so she can move the team to another city.

Sounds pretty familiar, right? I mean, I’m only half-kidding. From trying to phase out Keep Pounding to continually fielding atrocious teams, it’s almost like he hates Charlotte. Fortunately for him, we hate him too.

the only way that works is if people stop buying psl's, but it's not about the football team, the game will turn into corporate events and lobbying. Companies and not people will get the psl's and the away team will fill the stadium. Kind of like Chelsea fans (who probably never left their respective areas or know where this team is located) will flood out an MLS team's stadium.

Tepper would need the approval of the other owners to do that. No way the NFL does that.

Charlotte is the 6th fastest growing city in the US. Raleigh is #1.

Charlotte is the 15th largest metro area in the US.

NC is a top 10 population state.

Tepper can’t move the Panthers and Charlotte FC also.

Long story short, he’s stuck.

NFL teams mostly only relocate due to money issues. Tepper isn't going to sell and he's still making a ton of money here albeit most of it is from opposing fans. We're stuck with Tepper as an owner so all we can do is hope that he learns from his mistakes and improves because the guy genuinely wants to win here and has shown that he'll spend the money to try and bring us a winner and that's something we all can appreciate. He just needs to understand that the NFL is a unique business, and he needs to have experience people run it. Tepper is a guy who wants to be liked but he's trying to go about it the wrong way in that he's trying to have people like him because he makes the big hire or the big decision that leads to winning.

Na he's just a bad owner.  Even if Panthers fans stopped showing up the stadium would sell out to opposing fans, at least for a lot of the games.  It's a profit sharing league so I think a team has to show it's obviously losing money and would obviously make more somewhere else.  It's too valuable of a market IMO.

I think Tepper is more like the owner in Ted Lasso.

Hiring a doofus coach (Rhule in this case) to ruin a team on purpose (the owners ex-husband on the show).

I've jokingly said this for a few years, but I wonder if Richardson goosed up one of Tepper's nieces on jeans Friday and now Tepper is a having an absurdly petty, mega-rich revenge plot.

      Down With The Devils: Series Wrap-up

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Well bois, we gave the Devils their due! Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery... The jersey boys have been trying to jack our steeze for a few years now. They've followed our blueprints and studied our tape. Every offseason, they pounce on our sloppy seconds in a Newark minute. Quick with the puck, ferocious on the forecheck and stifling team defense. Down to the colors, this is this closest we'll come to having to play ourselves in Ole Stanley's Hockey Hoedown. As the postseason began, Rod stood flexing in the gym mirror and saw this guy staring back from the void... (Shutters) When beating us at our game didn't work, Timo and the Tri-State Trash tried to tango instead. Outside of a bitchass cheapshot on Freddie, that poo didn't work either. Their goon squad was getting wrecked by our bantam weights. As much as we all wanted to see Svechy or Staal Bunyan literally break someone in half after the Great Dane went down, they didnt need to. Our munchkins were monsters! Jarvis obliterating giants at the blue line, Logan laying the Stank on dudes twice his size and Blakers blasting Timo into next season. It was beautiful to see! (Side note: Does JBlo wear lead weights under his pads? 170lbs shouldn't be able to hit that hard!) We closed it out in 5, for the gentleman's sweep. Only team in the league to win a series in each of the past 7(?) seasons! And, this was supposed to be a rebuilding year... Onto the awards: Key To The Series : 6 for 19 - .316% IT FINALLY WORKED!!! MVP : 16/180 g/s - .911 save% - 2.53 gaa Seriously, without this dude, we would've won in 3! (Trust me bro) 3rd Star : 6/94 g/s - .936 save % - 1.59 gaa The Great Dane   2nd Star : 3 g - 5 a - +1 - 20:38 toi/g - 18 hits - 3 bs - 58.1% fo 3 PP goals and the 2OT series winning goal! WOOAAAHHH NELLY!!!!   And, your 1st Star of the series : 5 g - 1 a - +3 - 16:48 toi/g - 16 hits - 1 bs - 1 tk - 50% fo Zero, I repeat, zero penalty minutes for the series! MISSSTAAAHHH SVEEECHNIKOOOV!!!!!! Onto The Next: Now, we wait for the Habs to make it a nasty 7 game slog, while we recuperate. And, hopefully, get Nikishin, and some of the other black aces some real peactice time. We are gonna need those guys at some point. Because, if you think the Devils were dirty, hoooo boy, wait till you see what's next...
