The NFL has fined Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper $300,000 for tossing a drink at fans in Jacksonville toward the end of a game on Sunday

The NFL has fined Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper $300,000 for tossing a drink at fans in Jacksonville toward the end of a game on Sunday. The league called Tepper's conduct “unacceptable” in a statement released Tuesday.

“All NFL personnel are expected to conduct themselves at all times in ways that respect our fans and favorably reflect on their team and the NFL,” the statement said.

Tepper’s reaction came after rookie quarterback Bryce Young threw an interception with less than three minutes to play in a 26-0 loss to the Jaguars.

In a league with a lot of terrible owners, this guy is really trying to distinguish himself.

[This_Dude]

Guys literally a billionaire. It’s like fining me a quarter for flipping off biden

[MinorityRepublican]

Where’s the suspension?

[End Times Sentinel]

I didn't think anyone could pass Danny Snyder as a horrible owner, but Tepper has him beat, hands down.
The maturity of an 8 year old, the football knowledge of an englishman, and a disposition that would make anyone pine for Jerry Richardson.

[Equine1952]

Way too little. The guy who is a flaming a$$hole. They need to add another zero.

[Fungi]

Not the issue. Does the league have the authority to fine him? So he's a billionaire, so what!!! Thou shall not covet.

[Eccl 10:2]

They shoulda fined him for taking Bryce Young with the overall No 1 pick

What did the fan get? After all he’s the one with drink all over him.

[No name given]

The fan received no justice at all. This is one reason I despise the national felon league.

[Theoria]

Some places would consider that basic assault, unless a wet t-shirt contest.

[HIDEK6]

His wife did that.

Hell id give my last dollar do to that

If his net worth = $1,000,000,000,crunching these numbers would calculate a net worth of the poor-man man who is fined $0.25 as $833.33. 😃

[Michael.SF.]

It would be interesting to know what prompted the waste of a good alcholic beverage.

[HonkyTonkMan]

The fans and taxpayers enable this behavior. Quit supporting NFL through tax breaks for stadiums, stop buying merch, stop attending games, Sunday Ticket, etc.

[G Larry]

Is there any accountability as to what the NFL does with the money it collects from fines?

[alternatives?]

Wonder what the fine will be for leaking the emails to damage Gruden?
