Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper

NFL

On Tuesday, the NFL fined Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper $300,000 for what the league called his “unacceptable conduct” during Sunday’s 26-0 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Tepper was caught on video throwing a drink in the direction of Jaguars fans from his open-air suite at Jacksonville’s EverBank Stadium. The NFL said, “They expect all NFL personnel to conduct themselves at all times in ways that respect our fans and favorably reflect on their team and the NFL.” In a statement, Tepper said he is “passionate” about his team but regrets his behavior.
