More needs to be written about how Jerry Richardson has been focused on this labor situation at the expense of his team. Field basically what has become a team of inexperienced, low salaried players and at he same time raise ticket prices. Great marketing strategy JR. I gave up my PSLs rather than pay the increase. I have no problem with an increase just not when your gutting the roster to prepare for labor issues.

You, my friend, are as much a problem as the owner/management. If there were zero people in the stands management would notice. If we as fans are enablers then we are just as much to blame. I love the Panthers and I will watch every second of every game, every year. When they put an inferior product on the field I will not "buy" the Panthers. I will not go to a game and I will not buy merchandise. They will not make money off of me while they ruin my Sundays.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06785682350596789326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4069744000849776605.post-88169790491925064922010-09-20T11:56:31.627-04:002010-09-20T11:56:31.627-04:00You mean fall out of love with John Fox??
