Tepper is a coward

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

And screw over the entire fanbase in the process? No thanks

That pick is going to be a bust anyway.

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

Yeah, a $75k fine is really going to teach him a lesson. 
 

Tepper is a weenie. I guarantee he is a criminal. 

I mean the floor is already set IMO at a quarter million.  But that's still chump change and means nothing to Tepper.  Fine and suspension isn't about hitting his pocketbook.....it's about hitting his ego.  Which he needs.

We gotta hit on a pick eventually so we need as many as we can muster.

This tweet sums up Tepper. And by extension says Scott Fitterer is a boot licking sycophant.

Fitterer standing there sheepishly was almost as embarrassing as Tepper acting like a spoiled brat.

A suspension almost feels like letting him off the hook. They should make him sit first row on the 50 yard line to be subject to ALL the heckles.

Could care less about the jersey.

”with the first pick via MY Carolina Panthers.  The Chicago Bears select….”

Tepper having less money wouldn’t change his personality or make him smarter.

 

This is not accurate. 

Quote

Upper-class individuals’ relative independence from others and increased privacy in their professions (3) may provide fewer structural constraints and decreased perceptions of risk associated with committing unethical acts (8). The availability of resources to deal with the downstream costs of unethical behavior may increase the likelihood of such acts among the upper class. In addition, independent self-construals among the upper class (22) may shape feelings of entitlement and inattention to the consequences of one's actions on others (23). A reduced concern for others’ evaluations (24) and increased goal-focus (25) could further instigate unethical tendencies among upper-class individuals. Together, these factors may give rise to a set of culturally shared norms among upper-class individuals that facilitates unethical behavior.

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

the best way to handle this would be banning him from attending games. the only thing he'll respond to is humiliation. just give him like a 6 game suspension, make him appeal it, and drop it to 3.

They should make Tepper announce the first overall pick on draft night.

About the only smart thing Tepper has said is he announced he would no longer stand for mediocrity.  He passed this with flying colors. The Panthers are not even close to being mediocre.  Well done Tepper, well done.
