Los Angeles undoubtedly would like the Carolina Panthers (or any other NFL team) to head west. Factions have courted the Panthers, specifically owner Jerry Richardson. Why wouldn't LA lobby Richardson? He's connected.
But in non-breaking news, Richardson grew up in N.C., went to college in S.C., began his business empire in S.C. and lives in Charlotte.
In other old non-breaking news, the Panthers aren't leaving Charlotte.

"Richardson has been polite and steadfast that he is committed to Charlotte and is not moving the Panthers.
The only scenario in which he would listen would be if Charlotte balked at helping him with some of the stadium renovations the Panthers have been seeking, the source said."

He's going to pull a Tom Benson. And Charlotte will fall for it.

The Observer will do and say anything to help the Panthers get funding from the city! If the city does not pony up then Richardson will sell....
