Why NFL commissioner says investigation of Panthers' Jerry Richardson isn't a 'farce' | The Herald

Carolina Panthers founder Jerry Richardson is on his way out, but the investigation of workplace misconduct allegations against him remains a major issue that's largely unaddressed by NFL owners.

The league's spring meeting in Atlanta — which Commissioner Roger Goodell called "unusually busy and productive" — included a unanimous approval of hedge fund manager David Tepper as the next Panthers owner and the adoption of a new national anthem conduct policy.

The status of the ongoing four-month-long investigation remains unclear, however. Goodell didn't directly respond to questions about the investigation and the alleged victims when addressing the media, either.
