[EX Q]: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Jerry Richardson is Neutral . It has been a long time since two teams induced as many sofa spasms as the New England Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers did  with those three false endings in the last two minutes. You thought  finally  the NFL is all about the game again. But just then  the skin-crawly headline came across the bottom of the screen  turning attention away from Tom Brady and Ben Roethlisberger to an old pot-belly named Jerry Richardson.
[Panthers owner Jerry Richardson announces plan to sell team amid NFL investigation]
Yet the viewer’s head swiveled back and forth between the Patriots-Steelers epic in the icing rain  and the alleged fetishes and racial attitudes of Carolina Panthers owner  Richardson  in  his  owner suite. On Friday  the Panthers announced that Richardson was being investigated for workplace abuses  and by Sunday morning  the story had exploded when Sports Illustrated published a host of sordid specific accusations ranging from sexual harassment to using a racial slur against an employee. These included Richardson supposedly asking to shave the legs of female employees and demanding to examine their backsides in their jeans.
But that wasn’t the end of the NFL day. Not thirty minutes after the final play in Pittsburgh  with fans still filing out of the stadium  came the seismic announcement that  Richardson  will be selling the Panthers  the franchise  he  has owned since it was founded in 1993. No explanation was offered  or needed. You have to assume that the disclosures were going to get uglier.
[Analysis: Forget the catch rule. The league has a replay problem] 
Richardson  is a perfect example of the extent to which the sheer girths of owners’ egos are eclipsing what should be the NFL’s true narrative: the game. Their incessant internecine rivalries and power struggles have become a chronic story line. It was  Richardson  who set the poisonous current tone of management-player relations  when  he  declared during the 2011 collective bargaining that the owners had “a [expletive] deal and we’re going to take back our league and [expletive] do something about it.” It was  Richardson  who  inexplicably grown arrogant on  his  Hardees franchise money  sat across a table and barked at Peyton Manning: “Do I need to help you read a revenue chart  son? Because I don’t know if you know how to read that.”
Richardson  no doubt  is also capable of individual kindness  and other owners will profess sorrow over his decision to sell  and wax nostalgic over the fact that he once caught passes from Johnny Unitas with the 1959-60 Baltimore Colts.  Richardson  is a self-made man  the first player since George Halas to acquire an ownership stake. But  Richardson   sadly  has acted as a toxic hardliner devoted to ensuring that no other player would ever be treated like a partner or equal.

[EX Q]: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Schumer is Neutral . Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell would say he intended to bring a real immigration debate to the Senate floor.  Senate Minority Leader Schumer  would reject  it  initially. And then a day later  McConnell would speak again and  Schumer  -- despite concerns from  his  left flank -- would vote to re-open the government with a three-week stopgap resolution  giving the rest of  his  conference permission to also vote "yes."
The group also acted as emissaries for leadership. While McConnell and Schumer didn't speak all day Saturday after the shutdown and only briefly on Sunday evening  members in the bipartisan group were keeping their leadership apprised of the discussions they were having. At one point  while shuffling in between offices on Sunday  Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina -- dressed in a very weekend outfit of khaki pants  a fleece jacket  running shoes and an orange Clemson hat -- was seen grabbing a handful of Hershey's Kisses from a bowl on his way into McConnell's office. Given the sheer number of visits Graham made to the office in pursuit of a resolution  one aide wondered if McConnell's candy stash could withstand a lengthy shutdown.
Nelson described that throughout the process   Schumer  was always willing to listen to their ideas and proposals  even if it wasn't always clear they could form the basis of an eventual deal.
" Schumer  was always receptive " Nelson said. "Because  Schumer  wanted something that would work and  he  knew that the present course we were on  at the end of the day  we didn't have the majority and we didn't have the White House  so we didn't have a lot of cards to play."
In a caucus meeting just before the vote on the three-week continuing resolution Monday   Schumer  made the case to  his  members that  he 'd gotten McConnell to move on immigration and still had other points of leverage: Still to come were the budget caps agreement where Republicans want a lot of money for defense; the next continuing resolution; and the March 5 DACA deadline that  he  said the GOP is fearful of breaching because they don't want to take the hit for seeing DACA recipients deported  according to a source in the room.
Merkley later met with  liberal activists who were furious at Schumer  and warned that  they  would withhold funding from Democrats in key races  one source said.
