Billionaires have been manipulating jurisdictions to get funds for their sports teams. It is refreshing to see that Rock Hill is standing up to David Tepper, who is worth $16.7 billion.

Owning a sports team is like having a fancy toy, you can spend it yourself without having to get the $$$ from taxpayers.

I’m not so sure I’d side with the government officials on this one. The project is described as “the Panthers proposed practice facility” in these media reports, but it was much bigger than that. It was a mixed-use development that also included office and commercial space and even a new medical center.

“We’ll move the Panthers to (some other town) if we don’t get what we want” talks to begin in 3...2...1

Standing up to him? The County gave him a bunch of money, they're just asking for it back since the development was canceled. The manipulation part already happened!
