“The price of the Carolina Panthers has reached $2.5 billion, according to people familiar with bids for the NFL team, which would set a record for a U.S. professional sports franchise.”

Seems counterintuitive that prices are rising when the NFL is bleeding fans.

The hip-hop crowd doesn’t want to lose to the “redneck whiteboy” NASCAR crowd, and the NASCAR crowd doesn’t want the team to leave Charlotte. That’s it in a nutshell. Somebody’s going to lose their @ss.

Bad investment. Football is not real estate, and it is way past its prime

If the Panthers, with 2 Super bowl appearances and no wins is worth$2.5 bill then what are the Steelers with 8 appearances and 6 wins or the Patriots with 10 appearances and 5 wins worth? Just askin.

If I could sell the NFL short, I would.

Will the new owner of the Carolina Panthers be issuing stock?
