However, when he was presented with a humanitarian award on Wednesday night, Panthers owner Jerry Richardson wept as he spoke of the toll domestic violence takes on society:

“Standing before you tonight, I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge an issue weighing heavily on our sport and our society. When it comes to domestic violence, my stance is not one of indifference. I stand firmly against domestic violence, plain and simple.

“To those who would suggest that we’ve been too slow to act, I ask that you consider not to be too quick to judge. Over the course of our 20 years, we have worked extremely hard to build an organization of integrity … I will work hard to continue to earn your trust.”

The Panthers announced the decision 90 minutes before gametime, finally reconciling the owner’s words with its roster moves. Hardy will, however, receive his gameday paycheck of $770,588.

1. Seems a bit high, that kind of pay. But then I guess the fans feed the frenzy.

Superbowl tickets in 1967 were $6 and $12, IIRC.
