On Tuesday, David Tepper, owner of the Carolina Panthers, was fined $300,000 for unacceptable conduct during Sunday’s defeat to the Jacksonville Jaguars, as reported by NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero.
Tepper, who in a video posted online appeared to throw contents of a drink into the visiting crowd toward the conclusion of his team’s 26-0 loss, released an apology.
Tepper’s statement expressed, “I hold a profound passion for this team and I apologize for my actions on Sunday. I should have allowed NFL stadium security to address any arising issues. I honor the NFL’s code of conduct and accept the League’s disciplinary action for my conduct.”
The incident, which took place at the Jaguars’ EverBank Stadium, occurred shortly after quarterback Bryce Young was intercepted late in the game.
With Sunday’s defeat, the Panthers’ season record fell to 2-14.
