POLL: Should the Jerry Richardson statue be removed?

On Tuesday, the National Football League handed Carolina Panthers founder and former owner Jerry Richardson a $2.75 million fine after concluding an investigation on workplace misconduct during Richardson's tenure as owner.

Richardson, 81, has been a hero and looked upon man in the city of Charlotte and states of North Carolina and South Carolina since bringing the Panthers to Carolina in 1993. 

During his tenure, the Panthers appeared in the 2004 and 2015 Super Bowl.

However, a big question has remained since Richardson sold the team in May to billionaire David Tepper after allegations were released about Richardson. 

Outside of Bank of America stadium holds a 13-foot statue of Jerry Richardson built in July 2016.

Despite Richardson bringing football and financially helping the Carolinas over the last 25 years, his image has certainly been tarnished with these allegations that have been substantiated by the NFL.

That leaves the question that many have been asking: Should the statue be removed?
