Watch: Jerry Richardson statue gets lifted off Panthers’ property

The Panthers have removed the statue of former team owner Jerry Richardson from their property.

Watch as a crane lifts the statue from its long-time perch in front of Bank of America Stadium onto a truck bed.

Richardson owned the team from its inception in 1995 to 2017, when he was pressured to sell to current owner David Tepper following a workplace misconduct scandal. The two panthers that flanked his statue are also being removed.

In a statement, the Panthers said that the statue is being moved to an undisclosed location in the interest of public safety.
