David Tepper, with a net worth of $20.6 billion, has been criticized for throwing a drink at an opposing fan during a game. Despite calls for a substantial fine and potential suspension, the NFL has only fined him $300,000, which is less than 1% of his net worth. This has sparked outrage, with comparisons made to the equivalent of fining an average American one dollar and seventy-seven cents. The lack of significant consequences has raised concerns about accountability within the NFL.

Tapper’s net worth is over $20 billion. This is the equivalent of fining a player a few hundred dollars. https://t.co/dmjeYh9Oaj
His net worth is over $20 billion. This is literally nothing to him. It’s like fining me $3. Such an absolute joke. https://t.co/3tp9Tcrmcz
The fine is well less than 1 percent of David Tepper's $20.6 billion net worth. https://t.co/RxIAdaHUAf
For those scoring at home, fining David Tepper $300,000 ( Net worth: $20.6 Billion) is the equivalent of fining the Average American… ONE DOLLAR AND 77 CENTS! https://t.co/cfyHzDqnhH
someone check my math but if Tepper’s net worth is $20.6B, a $300K fine is .0015% of his net worth It’s the equivalent of a $150 fine for a person making $100K a year, or a $75 fine for someone making $50K a year https://t.co/4W7KxwHrXc
It's a good thing David Tepper didn't lower his helmet on the fan. Imagine what they would've fined him then!
NFL Accountability Gap, Part 2: The fact that David Tepper has yet to be called on the carpet by the NFL for throwing a drink on fans.
The NFL fined Stefon Diggs $13,659 for spraying beer in celebration. Yet not a word from the league even acknowledging that David Tepper threw a drink at an opposing fan.
Talking with folks around the league the last few days, a substantial fine and potential suspension from game(s) has to be on the table for David Tepper from the NFL. That there's been no apology since — not a peep — from the team is unusual, to say the least.
did I miss the apology, NFL statement or discipline here… or was absolutely nothing done or said by Tepper/NFL as we have pathetically come to expect https://t.co/bU1rVQkiNb
Even if inflation adjusted, hardly a dent in David Tepper's $20.6 billion net worth. https://t.co/qoB4DVhQa6
