2020 Carolina Panthers Thread

Of course it should come down. It was ridiculous that it was ever erected in the first place. Plus personally I think it looks stupid

I see what you did there. But too soon.

they should replace it with a statute of robert e lee

Sale finalized. Tina Becker resigns.

Sale finalized. Tina Becker resigns.

Was her resignation expected to follow after completion of the sale or is this something of a surprise?

 

[PhDeac]

I would assume it was expected. She took over for Richardson. Tepper is taking her spot. I assume he can rehire her to another position.

Sounded like she was overseeing all the non-football administrative stuff, then took over the NFL relations job just recently. I would have thought she would go back to overseeing all the non-football stuff with Tepper taking the NFL connection part of her job. I would think that Tepper might want to keep someone who was familiar with how to run a stadium, staff it, ticket sales, marketing, fan experience etc. as part of his management team.

 

[PhDeac]

She was the COO. Makes sense that she would resign to allow the new owner to hire his own COO. This is an interesting situation. It's not a situation in which a new owner would immediately want to clean house of people loyal to the old owner.

I'm guessing there are other people in the world with those experiences too

I think you're giving one person way too much credit. The Panthers have people who have been doing those jobs for decades.

Somebody usually sits at the top of the pyramid of all those people. She was one of the people who has been "doing those jobs for decades" for the Panthers. She has worked for them since the '90s.

You might want to check out Becker's actual background as a Top Cat before crowning her as NFL Executive of the Year.

I just want to go on the record to say that I am shocked (SHOCKED!), that they couldn't find anyone in the Carolinas with enough jack to close the deal.

 

[Screamindemon3]

Yeah, 730 had no positive words to say about Becker this morning. All agreed that if she walked into the studio this morning, no one would even know who she was.

 

[timdunkandthefunk]

man, people on twitter really care about putting a panthers logo at midfield. i agree but didn't realize it was a life or death issue.

 

[Screamindemon3]

I mean why not? That's by far the easiest change to make. Promotes new branding and further removes Richardsons legacy. Seems like an absolute no brainer to me

How many NFL execs would hometown fans recognize in person?

That’s a weak take. She got a lot of press when she took over that included current and past pics. If the local sports talk station guys don’t recognize her after that, that’s on them.

Minority owners don't even know her.
