You might not like him as an owner but you have to admit he has been great for the community.

He pressured the city to give him $650 million for stadium upgrades that he could have easily paid for himself. When he gives more to the community that he extorts from it then I'll say he's great for the community. As of today, the community is hundreds of millions in the negative when it comes to Tepper and he can rightfully fug off.

You could say that about almost any team owner regardless of the sport. That does not diminish the good they have done.

David Tepper is a cancer.  Nothing he does will ever get me to care for him. The sooner he is no longer a part of this team the better.

I seem to disagree with a lot of people on this board but brother, that is one thing we can both agree on!

Nicole is still an enigma. She has no background history, married a creepy billionaire, seems really sweet, who knows lol.

100% of all pro sports owner do the same thing, (there is one who didn't, but I can not recall). Its the price of having a NFL or NBA or MLB or Hockey team or race track or etc in the area. They ALL get and ask for money. so screw you for making me defend tepper....!! Im sure you know the rent poor Mr.tepper has to pay each year as well.....

 

Plus its sorta been busted about the impact of having a pro team in the area. The impact is no greater than a super target, its basically the reason why county clubs members drive GMC rather Chevy or wear Rollie's that Seiko watches. Its a status symbol, plain and simple. "O you live in city without a NFL team, you're a fly-over poor".
