The owner of the Carolina Panthers football team appeared to toss his drink onto fans of the opposing team during a shutout loss Sunday.
One of the more humbling ways to lose a game is by way of a shutout, and Panthers owner David Tepper appeared to be unable to contain himself when his team was shutout by the Jacksonville Jaguars in a 26-0 loss on New Year’s Eve.

Tepper appeared to toss the remnants of his drink onto Jaguars fans who were sitting in front of the box he was watching the game from toward the end of the game. A video posted to X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, showed the incident.
The video shows what appears to be a view from a neighboring box toward the end of the game. Tepper is not seen in the beginning of the video, but the shot pans out to show what appear to be Jaguars fans, and when the frame comes back to where Tepper was sitting, he appears to toss the contents of his drink on the fans in front of him before throwing down his cup and walking away.
The video then pans back to the fans who began climbing over their seats to get to the box.

Frustration was not limited to Tepper — the incident happened after an interception by the Panthers’s quarterback, who was seen throwing a tablet on the sidelines afterward, according to ESPN. It was Carolina’s first time being shutout since 2002, ESPN reported.
The Panthers assured they would finish the season with the worst record of any team in the NFL this year when they lost the game, according to ESPN. The Panthers have two wins this season.
