This is not accurate.

without going specifically into the research that contradicts this, Tepper's level of wealth basically inoculates him from negative consequences. He's also at the point he can surround himself with people that agree with him, and can even buy good press to construct soothing narratives. His wealth absolutely impacts his behaviors, just like other hyper rich lunatics like elon musk. At least tepper doesn't have a million dipshit sycophants 

Money inoculates him from negative consequences?

He’s considered the worst owner in sports and everyone is laughing at him.

Either way, the guy’s ego comes from his professional success. 100 million or 20 billion…he’s still going to be an ass.

I would like the league to take away a draft pick. That would be the most embarrassing punishment for him.

Fit has that covered

okay. let me put it another way

if he throws a drink at someone in the stands, he gets kicked out of the stadium. Because of his wealth, he is able to own a team and throw drinks at anyone he wants.

ie, he's protected from consequences

If Tepper doesn’t apologize by tomorrow his interim coaches will have to answer his actions. Would be a horrible look.

Yes, what would happen if a fan threw their drink at him? They would be banned from NFL games and probably arrested.

He's the type of guy who'd be flexing about having the nicest above ground pool in the trailer park. He's just trash with money. Money can't buy class.

How could the NFL currently screw over the Panthers worse than Tepper himself is screwing them over?

There is always power to sink. Tepper just proved that.

[pantherclaw]

Him being not accountable for his actions, is actually worse than the incident itself. 

Tepper. Everyone makes mistakes. Man the fug up and own it. Apologize for it, before the coaches and players are going to be asked about it.

the one thing that can bring virtually every poster together on this board...

Tepper being an asshat.

they shouldn't be forced to be the first people in the org to comment, even if the comment is "no comment." it really isn't fair to them.

yep, money is just money.  Heck, money actually can make a person's flaws even worse.  I'd say that is a near certain.  Lot of horrible people got money.  Money also is a universal inflator of one's abilities.  Well, I made money doing X......so I can now do anything just as well as I did X. 

Tepper's biggest mistake was not treating what this was, what it was.  He was diversifying and growing his wealth.  He obviously couldn't resist the play toy factor of the NFL team.

I think any self respecting person would make amends for their wrong doings. 

Then again, perhaps that an idealistic set of morals that I hold.
