Re: Cancel Culture run amuck
I never understood why NASCAR had the Confederate Flag
I never understood why the Panthers had a statue of a guy that started the franchise personally...
Christopher Columbus... that is a loaded topic since his personal journals don't paint him as any sort of racist or conqueror. None of the recounts of the time mention him being cruel or hostile to natives. This was literally revised history that started popping up in the 60's and 70's. Not sure how Historians got the history of Christopher Columbus inaccurate for nearly 500 years until some woke professors really "read between the lines" to find out he was a horrible guy. I've read a lot about Columbus over the last year... not one historical telling from that period mention cruelty... none out of the ordinary for that period I should say. It was the 1400's and people were being leached... so yeah... there was general cruelty during that period... but nothing as bad as what was happening in Western Africa during the same time period.
You're right BandC! We should burn books that tell of a history we don't like so we will always remember it and never repeat it! Let's tear down sites that will make us reflect on the scars of our past, and just forget that so we can move forward right!? You know what we should REALLY do??? Maybe hold a segregationist rallies so we can talk about the outside influences that have gotten us to this point! Those are some solid ideas too right? Or let's form organized political groups to go out one night and break the glass storefronts of all of the people we disagree with! We will call it Kristallnacht! That's a cool name!
Then, when we are done with all that, let's round up all the conservatives and put them in work camps as reparations for slavery!
Maybe... just maybe, if you weren't so quick to destroy history instead of read it, you'd see where your attitude is taking you... and you'd understand why my last paragraph falls right in line with your train of thought."Always remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else." -Margaret Mead

Would any Ravens fans object to a statue of Art Model being erected outside of M&T Bank Stadium at some point? I wouldn't. I want that to happen. Art is our founder. He's why we exist.
Do Steelers fans object to the Rooney statue outside their stadium? They don't.
Richardson is why the Panthers exist. He is their founder and the reason why they sold for $2.275 billion. He is the most important person in the Panthers entire history (so far).
His significance to the franchise is being dismissed by a "woke" owner. It's a disgrace.

Re: Cancel Culture run amuck
lol you don't think young German's don't know of their abhorrent past? Of course it's fine to read about it in textbooks, but there is a reason they went to great lengths to eliminate all public images of Nazi past. It's disgusting, as is all imagery of confederate history.
1. You sound very upset
2. lolol I said nothing about burning books. That sir, is called a straw man
3. lolol Maybe black folks don't want to see their tax dollars go to publicly erected slave owners

Re: Cancel Culture run amuck
The Rebel Battle flag with NASCAR is seeded in its deep Southern Roots. Southern Pride. Back before it was “mainstream” a majority of the races were in the “Old South” Carolinas, Alabama, Georgia , Tennessee and Virginia. And that’s where the most brand loyal fans were also. If your fav driver drove a Ford sponsored by Bud ...then you better bet you drove a Ford and drank Bud! Everything about NASCAR was “Southern “ and yes ....White. The series was sponsored by Big Tobacco...Based outa Carolina!
Not justification just an explanation!

I'm not upset... Not in the least. I'm just pointing out the slope you are on... You agree with dumb things and get all excited about silliness... I expect it. You fall in line with exactly what you are told to believe... I feel sorry for you sometimes, but definitely not upset.

He didn't commission a statue to himself.
For his 80th birthday...the statue was a surprise. It was done in honor of him and dedicated by the entire Panthers organization.
Certainly nothing wrong with having the statue of the franchise's founder outside of the stadium they play in...eh?

Re: Cancel Culture run amuck
Sorry man. That arrangement between the panthers was gaudy, tacky and vain. And while he was still owner? Please. It was tacky. Black Velvet Elvis in the living room tacky.
I wouldn't mind an Art Modell somewhere though. I wouldn't have wanted it when he was alive. He probably wouldn't have wanted it either.
