The Morning Star 2026 Conference
We are starting to do something about sexism in sport and it's long overdue

CAROLINA PANTHERS owner Jerry Richardson will make a tidy profit when he sells the team next year. Richardson, the only owner of the NFL franchise, bought the team in 1993 for $206 million and it is estimated it will sell for $2.3 billion.

For an industry where profit is minuscule at best, Richardson is leaving richer because of alleged racist and sexual misconduct charges. That’s extremely impressive.

Excuse the sarcasm but imagine making money for being a sexist and racist pig. Richardson will be angry to be kicked out of the team he has nurtured for over two decades, but it’s hard to feel sorry for him when he lines his pockets with all that extra cash.
