\n Another statue is coming down \u2014 though the Carolina Panthers got to this one before any protesters could.<\/p>\n

The NFL team announced Wednesday it was moving the statue of its former owner, Jerry Richardson, which has stood outside of Bank of America Stadium since 2016. The 83-year-old Richardson sold the team in 2018, but not before being accused of sexual harassment and the use of a racial slur, according to Sports Illustrated.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were aware of the most recent conversation surrounding the Jerry Richardson statue and are concerned that there may be attempts to take it down,\u201d the Panthers said in a statement. \u201cWe are moving the statue in the interest of public safety.\u201d<\/p>\n

New Panthers owner David Tepper, after purchasing the team for $2.275 billion, said in 2018 he was \u201ccontractually obligated\u201d to keep the statue where it was. It was not immedia<\/a>tely clear where the team was moving the statue.<\/p>\n

Other controversial statues across the country have recently been toppled by protesters in the aftermath of George Floyd\u2019s murder in Minneapolis and the ensuing protests against systemic racism and police brutality.<\/p>\n

\u201cMr. Richardson has made no public comments about the Panthers or the NFL since the sale of the team and doesn\u2019t plan to do so now as a private citizen,\u201d a spokesman for Richardson said in a statement to WSOC in Charlotte. \u201cHe has worked to treat all people fairly in his business and personal lives and, like many other Americans, is troubled by recent events in Minneapolis, Charlotte, and around the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

The NFL fined Richardson $2.75 million in 2018 after its investigation into his workplace misconduct. Multiple former employees told Sports Illustrated there were \u201coccasional racial overtones\u201d in Richardson\u2019s dealings with his workers, including using a racial slur directed at an African-American scout and preferring that black players not wear dreadlocks.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
