NFL will take over Jerry Richardson investigation
The NFL will take over the investigation of allegations of workplace misconduct involving Carolina Panthers owner and founder Jerry Richardson, league spokesman Brian McCarthy confirmed Sunday.
The Panthers came under fire after announcing that one of their minority partners – former White House chief of staff Erskine Bowles – would oversee a probe led by a Los Angeles-based law firm.
McCarthy said the NFL would hire an independent law firm to lead the investigation.
The Panthers started its investigation Friday, and informed the league of the probe the same day.
