He pressured the city to give him $650 million for stadium upgrades that he could have easily paid for himself. When he gives more to the community that he extorts from it then I'll say he's great for the community. As of today, the community is hundreds of millions in the negative when it comes to Tepper and he can rightfully fug off.

Some say people are leaving the huddle because of the dialogue. I say this is the content that keeps me coming back

Tell me you don’t understand tourism tax without telling me

They don’t teach that during any of the Kohls store management seminars.

He was great for Rock Hill. 
 

This is rich woman vanity hobby stuff. Dave is happy she is out of his (imaginary) hair while he makes Panthers decisions.

That, and the stans everywhere else ban you when you don’t worship BY9.

It’s just PR for philanthropy they should be doing anyway. It’s immoral and unethical to hold onto that much wealth. He’ll move the team whenever it suits him and do token philanthropy in the next city they’re based out of.

So you are saying you would have preferred that Charlotte said no thanks and sent him and the Panthers packing? How much better off would the community be without the Panthers being a part of the city. Once they were gone, would you then just abolish the hospitality tax that is being used to pay for the updates even though it is also used for other things like the Charlotte Convention Center, Spectrum Center (Hornets arena), as well as tourism promotions, etc. I also believe it was used to help fund the Nascar Hall Of Fame here as well. 

I have to admit I do not like seeeing public funds used to fund sports either but if you want a major sports team here, it's going to cost regardless whether its the Panthers or some other team.

Maybe. But Tepper donated 67 million to Carnegie Mellon when he was in Pittsburg and has given somewhere around 23 million here I believe. I am sure some of it is PR, but knowing where he came from, I believe part of it is just him wanting to give back.

It's funny. I avoid reddit and X because of how toxic the users are - and yet I keep coming back here.

You could say that about almost any team owner regardless of the sport. That does not diminish the good they have done.

Yes it does.
