Following the Carolina Panthers' win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, head coach Ron Rivera called his players together in the locker room and requested they call out a chant for owner Jerry Richardson, who announced he intends to sell the franchise following sexual misconduct allegations.
Because the #Panthers might take it down, here's the video of Ron Rivera breaking down the team for Mr. Richardson:

"Just remember guys this is about team, everything we do is about team, most important thing is about team, okay?"

Video of the chant was posted to the Panthers' official website.
Sports Illustrated published a story Dec. 17 revealing that four former Panthers employees received monetary settlements due to inappropriate workplace comments and conduct by Richardson. The allegations included incidents of sexually suggestive language and behavior, as well as a racial slur being directed at an African-American employee.
The 81-year-old has owned the team since its inception in 1993.
