It looks like an NFL owner is in hot water after the league has acknowledged an incident that allegedly took place at the end of a recent football game. According to ESPN, the Carolina Panthers' owner David Tepper was seen throwing a drink into a crowd at the end of the Jacksonville Jaguars' 26-0 win at EverBank Stadium.
A video reveals that Tepper emptied the contents of his cup in the direction of some fans just outside the suite he was occupying during the game. It's unclear what caused him to act in this manner, but it could be due to the Panthers having the worst record in the league with a 2-14 record.
Tepper has made several drastic moves since taking over the Panthers, including firing the head coach who started this season, Frank Reich, after they had a 1-10 record. Last season, he fired head coach Matt Rhule after the team started the season with a 1-4 record. He has also fired Ron Rivera, interim coaches Perry Fewell, Steve Wilks, and Chris Tabor.
Adding to the drama, the Panthers won't even have the No. 1 draft pick, as they gave it to the Chicago Bears for their current quarterback, Bryce Young.
The Panthers declined to comment on the incident, and an NFL spokesperson only stated that the league was aware of the video and had no further comment. It remains to be seen what consequences, if any, David Tepper will face for his actions. The NFL is set to celebrate diversity at the Panthers/Falcons game, with three HBCUs set to perform.
