I like the Carolina Panthers … but me no likey their owner.
David Tepper, the owner of the Panthers, pulled an absolute Karen move with a North Carolina restaurant over a sign that took a shot at him regarding the 2024 NFL Draft, according to multiple reports.
“Please Let The Coach & GM Pick This Year,” read the sign outside of Dilworth Neighborhood Grille in Charlotte.
Those words reportedly led to Tepper paying a visit to the restaurant … yes, I’m serious. (RELATED: Chargers Draftee Joe Alt’s Girlfriend Goes Viral For Absolutely Strange Reaction On Live Television)
According to a report from Alex Zietlow of The Charlotte Observer, Tepper was apparently “friendly” when he entered, which doesn’t make any sense, but okay.
The owner of the restaurant, Matt Wohlfarth, spoke to Zietlow and told him that the sign was put up either Monday or Tuesday (how does this guy not know what day the sign was put up at his business, lmao). On top of that, the owner told Zietlow, the Thursday visit from Tepper wasn’t the first — which makes this story even better.
Back in January, he reportedly stopped for a sign that read, “meddling owners never win. Run from Jerry Jones.” Wohlfarth hilariously told the reporter that Tepper “was sorta pissed off about that one.”
Holy hell, what a great story.
According to the manager at Dilworth Neighborhood Bar and Grill Panthers owner David Tepper did stop by and asked the manager who he thought should make the pick. The manager said Tepper wasn’t visibly upset. It happened about an hour and 45 minutes before the draft. https://t.co/NgeUGkgDcL
