NFL not expected to implement new national anthem policy this season

It will hurt NC while he will move to a new city and probably build a new stadium making the team much more valuable.

The old piece of shit racist owner made it a condition of the sale that Tepper couldnt remove his statue from in front of the stadium,that problem would also be solved:D

As I outlined earlier -- except for some local politicians in Charlotte - there is not a single politician in our state that supports spending any money to keep the Carolina Panthers in North Carolina.

The demands of the former and current owner of the Carolina Panthers that the taxpayers should build them a new stadium is in sharp contrast to Steve Malik (owner and chairman of North Carolina FC of United Soccer League and North Carolina Courage of National Women's Soccer League) - who is attempting to have a MLS team in Raleigh. He says that he will pay the entire cost of a stadium and the taxpayers will need to pay nothing (beyond extending water & sewer to the site).

It is time to stop the ridiculous taxpayer subsidies to pro-sports teams which do not provide any type of reasonable return on the investment.

NFL stadiums cost a lot more than US soccer stadiums.An NFL team has a much greater benefit to a city than a soccer team in The US.Glad NC wont put a fight to keep them it seems and everybody gets what they want.Tepper probably cant wait to get away from you southern racist hicks.

Mistake I meant more.Cant compare a soccer owner building a stadium to an NFL owner doing the same.

The typical soccer stadium now in the U.S. costs $150 million to $300 million to build. "Red Bull Arena, in Harrison, N.J., cost $250 million to build. Children’s Mercy Park, in Kansas City, Kan., rang up at $200 million in 2011."

While this may be less than the NFL's current price of $1.1 Billion to $2.5 Billion for a stadium -- it is still significant.

So which do you want in your city? A soccer team where the owner spent $250 Million to build the stadium, or a NFL team where the taxpayers spend $1.5 Billion to build the stadium (but the city will never cover the financial cost with increased economic revenue due to the stadium).

The NFL.Soccer is not popular in The US and has little impact on a city.

Actually the only professional major league sport in the U.S. where a city in the U.S. may get an positive economic return on their investment is soccer. Not baseball, not football, not basketball, not hockey - cities all lose money on all of them.

The actual best economic value for cities & towns for return on investment via hotel room tax, food, etc. versus the cost to build & maintain facilities are youth sports. Wise cities should ignore providing any funding for professional major league sports and fund youth sports.

Of course. I stated my post stating soccer stadiums cost more was a mistake.Nobody gives a shit about soccer in The US thats why they can build small cheap stadiums.

20,000 to 60,000 seats are small & cheap - interesting perspective.

I will note that the current WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary, NC has 10,000 seats. "WakeMed Soccer Park is now the home to North Carolina FC of the United Soccer League and the North Carolina Courage of the National Women's Soccer League." The existing stadium is sold out for nearly every game. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WakeMed_Soccer_Park

If a men's MLS team is landed in Raleigh - Steve Malik plans to build a 22,00 seat stadium that can be expanded to 28,000 seats.
