GDT: Carolina Panthers 5: Young and the Restless Fans

[Canes]

Damn it they lost, season ruined

Definitely hurts our chances for the playoffs.

On the bright side, still in the drivers seat for the #1 overall pick.

Oh wait...

 

[HisIceness]

They got shutout but they're getting closer to that #1 pick.

They do have the #1 pick yes?

 

[Novacane]

This guy sucks

 

[MrazeksVengeance]

They traded a haul for a QB that can be compared only to 9-10 other cases. The best of the QBs that belong to the group are… Jared Goff and Michael Vick.

TOLD YOU SO.

This guy sucks

Tepper is an ass clown.

Lol at Tepper:

Panthers owner appears to toss drink at Jags fans

Panthers owner David Tepper was caught on video during Sunday's 26-0 loss to the Jaguars apparently throwing a drink in the direction of fans.

You know, if he threw a drink on me, I'd claim "pain and suffering" and then sue for franchise ownership.

I think we should all get together and piss Tepper off, then we will be owners of the Carolina Panthers

 

[Daeavorn]

just move the team to germany and give us an expansion in its place.

Bet you could get a pretty friendly jury for that one.

 

[Svechhammer]

He's trying to speed run a 'purchase to forced sell' record, and I think he might pull it off

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

He won't face any real consequences for the drink thing and won't be kicked out of ownership for anything we know about him so far. Worst that will happen is a fine (literally irrelevant given his net worth), maybe a suspension from being around the team for some very short period of time, and maybe draft pick(s) forfeiture. That would be at it's absolute steepest and really wouldn't do anything at all to help us fans get rid of him.

I hate to say this but I think the surest way for the Carolinas to have a successful football team again would be for Tepper to move the Panthers and Charlotte gets an expansion team or another team to move here. Would have to live with not having a team for a few years at least but frankly that may be better than having the Tepper Panthers in town...

 

[Svechhammer]

Fined $300k for assault when he's worth $20.6b

Pathetic

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Fining 300k for throwing a drink is ridiculously high. Like im looking at your worth and 100th times the normal penalty

But cool story Darren.

I'd venture a guess that there have been millions of drinks thrown by average Americans where the fine was less than $1.77

bruins fan behind me in game 4 a couple years ago who dumped beer on my head didn't have any repercussions. but I did get a signed Aho puck out of it (without asking for it)

 

[Wolfpuck]

$300,000 is a f***ing rounding error for that ass clown. I hate the NFL.

 

[A Star is Burns]

I'm assuming there are limitations to the amount the NFL can fine someone, even a very rich someone.

Technically I don't believe there are any limitations at all to what the NFL could fine their owners. Players, yes, it's all spelled out in the CBA. But nothing in place for owners.

However below is a good article discussing why owners would never really be adequately punished for off field issues. Frankly, I'm surprised the NFL did anything in the Tepper case, Tepper's a massive douche and while I'd love for the league to force him to sell over the drink thing as a fan who wants my team back, it really wasn't that big a deal. To my point above, this type of stuff happens all the time in stadiums throughout the country and nothing really comes of it, maybe at worst a fan who does it gets escorted out of that particular game. Douche move, bad look for Tepper, yes. But really pretty minor.

Do NFL owners deserve the same punishment as players for similar offenses?

The NFL is in an unprecedented and tricky situation at the moment. This all concerns Deshaun Watson and the ongoing hearing to determine his suspension for alleged sexual misconduct and harassment.

Not sure I've met anyone up here who hates the Jets. I mean, they're the LOLest team around, but Pats fans hate the Giants more, for having the audacity to beat St. Thomas of Brady TWICE in the Supah Bowl.

yep. Giants and Steelers (mostly Steelers fans) seem to draw whatever hate Pats fans have in my experience.

 

[Navin R Slavin]

It took me a minute, but when I got to Carolina I laughed out loud for a good minute. On both of those graphics.

 

[HisIceness]

Florida is interesting, because how exactly are you determining who is the most hated? Bucs fans for a long time hated the Panthers, the 00s had some nasty games between the two. Jaguars fans seem to hate the Titans more than the Colts or Texans. Dolphins fans don't like the Jets or Patriots, they're also re-budding the Bills rivalry from back in the 90s.

I'd probably say the Patriots are the least favorite team in that state. Jags fans don't like them as well. Plus you gotta figure the snowbirds and transplants into the equation, it's similar to how we as Canes fans can't stand Bruins/Rangers because of how many of them are here.

Is there more to this story?
