York County (S.C.) has "sued the City of Rock Hill and companies linked" to NFL Panthers Owner David Tepper over $21M the county "spent on what the suit describes as the 'collapsed' practice site in South Carolina." York County in the lawsuit filed late Thursday "blames both Tepper’s companies and Rock Hill" for the $21M loss. It alleges Tepper’s companies "directed misappropriation" of $21M, with the project falling apart when Rock Hill "didn’t issue bonds for the practice project and headquarters for the NFL football team." According to the lawsuit, York County "not only wants" its $21M back, it also "wants punitive damage." The city of Rock Hill "denied it had breached any contract in the Panthers project" and said that the new lawsuit is a "waste of taxpayer money." A spokesperson for Tepper Sports & Entertainment "declined comment" (CHARLOTTE OBSERVER, 6/10).
