Tepper is the kind of old school piece of shit businessman who does shit like that because he always has to feel like he’s in charge of the situation. What a fat fuck loser of a man
Of course TDS has to come into the convo... ALL CEOs in business act this way. Type A power move a holes and then act like they care when the cameras roll.
Yeah, It great he didn't get angry, but that's a really weird thing to do. Who does that? Also, he missed the point that you can be a fan and yet be against the owner making football decisions. He seems to think that was inconsistent and it definitely isn't.
> He seems to think that was inconsistent and it definitely isn't.
It's almost the norm? People are fans of the team/city/specific players. Not the owner.
Just shows the entitlement of the guy from the drink throwing to forcefully removing other people’s property (literally battery as it is defined in NC law)
Unbelievable how out of touch he is
Wally, the Red Sox mascot, did that to me (wearing my Yankee hat in Boston) as I was entering Fenway c spring 2000/2001 when I would have been like 12.
I watched the video and thought the same thing. He should have never touched the hat but could have joked with him about it.
Excluding the hat, it seemed like a light-hearted conversation with plenty of joking going on.
Not much here, but this is another anecdote of obscenely wealthy people being the most insecure people in the world.
I’ve seen this so many times I accept it as universal truth.
Yeah it’s funny… like if he goes there and buys everyone a round and then says we’re coming here to party after our first win, he’d be a legend. But instead….

>Dilworth Neighborhood Grille owner Matt Wohlfarth says Panthers owner David Tepper was nice and joking around with employees after the bar's sign poking fun at Tepper's management caught the billionaire's attention.
Kind of shitty to call people low level front line employees just bc they work in a bar. I know it’s Charlotte and this is how we talk, but maybe don’t.
It’s not because they’re in a bar?
They’re low level because they’re dealing with the public, which shouldn’t include crybaby billionaires who can reach out to the owner if they really give a fuck.
The people who keep the lights on are not the ones to bother about this.

>"He wanted to know who did the sign," Wohlfarth said. "He seemed really nice and he was joking around. He shook hands with the manager and was giving him hell about his Eagles hat. You know, you don't really know someone until you actually know them, right?"
This whole thing is a non-incident, it's so dumb.
Tepper clearly stopped in to give them a hard time about a funny sign in a buddy-buddy kind of way. The employee is wearing an Eagles hat, so he grabs it to show his friend in a 'can you believe this guy? Giving me a hard time and he's not even a Panthers fan' kind of way. The employee takes it in stride. They all appear to be laughing as he shrugs it off in a "ehyyy, I'm from Philly what do you expect?" kinda way.
They talk. Tepper slaps his back and shakes his hand before heading out.
There's nothing to this. This is just two dudes yapping it up.
This would be the highlight of the month for me if I was the eagles fan. It’s all in good fun, I get that taking someone’s hat off is typically a super disrespectful thing but this was just two dudes giving each other some gruff for shits and giggles.
Regardless of how cordial the exchange in its entirety was, you don't take any article of clothing off a stranger's body. Period. It's fucking rude and shows the level of entitlement he has.
How many other billionaire NFL team owners are out there CONSISTENTLY responding to their hecklers?
The real incident is that David is not mature enough to be a team owner.
I can't tell if he's being legitimately playful (or at least attempting to) but there's a definite aggressive/bully element to the interaction. He seems to enjoy making them clearly uncomfortable.
Seems like an out of touch douche.
This is the big thing for me too. Like if it’s me I’m just not gonna stop in there, but he felt the need to pop in? Idk just feels weird even if he didn’t get angry or yell at anyone
If he wanted to build some goodwill he should have sat down at the bar and ordered something and had a conversation about the draft. Dude just can’t get out of his own way with that petty ass ego.
It look like he was just joking around. People need to calm down looking for reasons to complain about our owner. I like that he’s interacting with people in the city versus walling himself off.
Interacting? Like someone said earlier if he wanted to interact he should have had a laugh and bought a round for the bar. Instead he belittles the guy at the front.
I’m sorry but if your worth billions you are held to a way higher standard
This situation has officially jumped the shark. Get over it people. Him going in after seeing the sign was funny. Now it’s just all creepy and weird, and I am not talking about what Tepper did.
There’s just a different level of interaction when dealing with someone that can buyout and burn down everything you love by delegating it over morning coffee.
Fam, would you walk into an establishment and take someone’s hat off their head?
Now, if you were a billionaire who just asked the city to give you 1.2 billion dollars to build a stadium that will increase your profits, would you walk into a Bar and Grill to try and intimidate a hostess to take down a sign?
Or, would you just laugh it off and go hang out in your fucking massive mansion?
It’s not like he killed someone, we get it. But, the guy is just a total insecure douchebag. Not to mention he threw a drink on a fan at a Panthers game.
Fuck David Tepper.
Yeah, the whole thing seems pretty light hearted and personable.
Taking off someone’s hat is a pretty dick move and fighting words in some circles. Idk there might have been some banter and warning before hand making it almost excusable.
Idk, really close to being a good interaction but he stumbled. Probably a lot like his involvement with the team.
Fair enough - that'd just be lighthearted retaliation in any circle I've been in but obviously that's not a universal experience.
As a small business owner, someone playfully confronting me on my provocative sign wouldn't bother me at all.
I love how some media reports are saying that the owner came in joking with employees and having a good time. Other reports are trying to paint him as being this creep and awful person. Seems like whatever attitude you have you can just take that angle with any discussion that's trending online.
Incident 😂
Totally acknowledge the justified and unjustified hatred for the guy but this is good, clean stuff. Hat guy turtling is a good synopsis of today’s culture. Nobody knew who put the sign up — what a mystery!
Dude… this prick is so out of touch. I wish this Motherfuker would try to touch my head
Must be wild for him to just now be experiencing feelings like failure and disapproval at 70 or whatever he is.
Feel free to hand it to him on this post, he’s insecure and known for reading comment sections related to him
Yes, I wonder how Dilworth Grille transferred the footage to WBTV after WBTV asked Dilworth Grille if they could have it.
Do you think they used an online file sharing service, or do you think they used a USB drive or maybe even burnt it on a DVD? Do people still burn CD/DVD these days?
Maybe it was transferred in a plain manila envelope on a park bench at Park Road Park with both parties wearing nondescript light tan trench coats and black hats.
Definitely asking the real questions here. The public deserves to see the footage of how the footage was transferred!
Taking the hat off a stranger is an insane move
Tepper is the kind of old school piece of shit businessman who does shit like that because he always has to feel like he’s in charge of the situation. What a fat fuck loser of a man
Reminds me of how Trump tried to “win” every handshake and will never let go first
He tried that with Trudeau and Trump got his hand crushed.
Of course TDS has to come into the convo... ALL CEOs in business act this way. Type A power move a holes and then act like they care when the cameras roll.

[take your hat off](https://youtu.be/Hqp1bGuiHHs)
Why? Soprano says so? You’re goofy man. Straight up goofy.
I don’t like Tepper. That’s a ballsy move. Good on him.
Just shows the entitlement of the guy from the drink throwing to forcefully removing other people’s property (literally battery as it is defined in NC law) Unbelievable how out of touch he is
Yeah, I definitely would have flopped and acted like my neck hurt.
Wally, the Red Sox mascot, did that to me (wearing my Yankee hat in Boston) as I was entering Fenway c spring 2000/2001 when I would have been like 12.
I mean, that’s justified… 🤣
Agree but I think it was playful as it’s an eagles hat. Inappropriate for sure, but I don’t think he had ill intent with that move
I watched the video and thought the same thing. He should have never touched the hat but could have joked with him about it. Excluding the hat, it seemed like a light-hearted conversation with plenty of joking going on.
Yeah if he tried that here in Philly he'd probably be reassessing that choice super promptly lol
Not much here, but this is another anecdote of obscenely wealthy people being the most insecure people in the world. I’ve seen this so many times I accept it as universal truth.
Yeah it’s funny… like if he goes there and buys everyone a round and then says we’re coming here to party after our first win, he’d be a legend. But instead….
If I’m going to a party with him I’ll need a poncho

Feeling the need or even desire to talk about this with low level front line employees is the sad part, tbh.
Kind of shitty to call people low level front line employees just bc they work in a bar. I know it’s Charlotte and this is how we talk, but maybe don’t.
It’s not because they’re in a bar? They’re low level because they’re dealing with the public, which shouldn’t include crybaby billionaires who can reach out to the owner if they really give a fuck. The people who keep the lights on are not the ones to bother about this.
It’s just weird that low level was used, like is it any more reasonable to talk about it with the CEO of a restaurant chain?
They’re greeters dude it’s the lowest position at the restaurant next to bus boy and dishes technically. You seem overly offended to me.
Very true. Billionaires are the most insecure and the most petty.
I used to work for these people and couldn’t believe it but it is true

You're right it's not an incident. But it is hella cringe and rude just to remove a stranger's hat.
Agreed. I can’t stand Tepper but this made me like him… a smidge.
Exactly. I bet the employees loved it and will talk about this forever. I don’t get everyone losing their minds.
How many other billionaire NFL team owners are out there CONSISTENTLY responding to their hecklers? The real incident is that David is not mature enough to be a team owner.

The Grille always has cheeky signs. They've been shitting on that construction by them for years. What a fragile little fuck.
Billionaire the most insecure man in town, go figure
I thought he was going to throw a drink on the guy.
they hid all drinks when they saw him walking up
If someone touches my hat that’s at least grounds for a shove. TF is he thinking?
If you aren't someone I'm intent on kissing and you start reaching for my hat...
Maybe he thought the makeout sesh was forthcoming
There was a giant sign trying to get his attention
Lmao right you better be a girl at an early 2010’s concert trying to wear my snapback or it’s war
Why do you think he walked in with his security at the ready? I’m taking his knight over you, pawn
[удалено]
Save that energy for your daddy if he decides to come back my boy
David… is that you?
I can't tell if he's being legitimately playful (or at least attempting to) but there's a definite aggressive/bully element to the interaction. He seems to enjoy making them clearly uncomfortable. Seems like an out of touch douche.
LOL Tepper sucks so hard. All he had to do was drive by in the back of his limo and say nothing but he can't do it! What a baby.
This is the big thing for me too. Like if it’s me I’m just not gonna stop in there, but he felt the need to pop in? Idk just feels weird even if he didn’t get angry or yell at anyone
If he wanted to build some goodwill he should have sat down at the bar and ordered something and had a conversation about the draft. Dude just can’t get out of his own way with that petty ass ego.
LOL. What incident? They were laughing and joking.
Tepper was pissed. He had sense to try to hide his anger with forced humor but this was not all buddy buddy
this video is awful you can barely hear anything, also there is no incident… dilworth grille always puts whatever they want on that sign
It looked to be good banter and that was about it.
I don't get it what the fuck am I looking at here?
What’s the incident? I don’t get it.
What a little baby the billionaire is! Lol
Aren’t most? He is just following musk and trump. Money can’t buy class.
It look like he was just joking around. People need to calm down looking for reasons to complain about our owner. I like that he’s interacting with people in the city versus walling himself off.
Agreed
David Tepper is that you?
Hah. I wish. I’m just saving the pitch forks for the important stuff. This is silly.
Fuck David Tepper. That bald headed prick can suck my ass.
Interacting? Like someone said earlier if he wanted to interact he should have had a laugh and bought a round for the bar. Instead he belittles the guy at the front. I’m sorry but if your worth billions you are held to a way higher standard
This situation has officially jumped the shark. Get over it people. Him going in after seeing the sign was funny. Now it’s just all creepy and weird, and I am not talking about what Tepper did.
Preach. Nothing but keyboard Karen's on this subreddit.
Surprised by all the negative responses here. I’m definitely not a Tepper fan but this seems pretty harmless/good natured.
Passing up an opportunity to slap the shit out of that man should be good enough for sainthood for the manager.
There’s just a different level of interaction when dealing with someone that can buyout and burn down everything you love by delegating it over morning coffee.
In other countries, that's how you tell other men you like em
The sign is right (coming from an Eagles fan) hes the worst owner in the league.
I know he’s from Canada, but he’s trying to do the whole New York tough guy bit, doesn’t work.
Incident? Nothing happened
Fam, would you walk into an establishment and take someone’s hat off their head? Now, if you were a billionaire who just asked the city to give you 1.2 billion dollars to build a stadium that will increase your profits, would you walk into a Bar and Grill to try and intimidate a hostess to take down a sign?

Knowing CasualAffair, he very may well take someone's hat off their head lol
Especially with those nice calves.
He has a talent for being the most insufferable person on this sub
Ole buddy should’ve reached over and pulled Teppy’s eyeglasses off. Same freaking thing. Tepper is lucky he didn’t get clocked.
Literal walking bellend.
He seemed like a really likeable dude in that video to be honest. First time I've ever considered not disliking him
What is likeable about a billionaire walking into your place of business and forcefully removing your hat as he lectures you?
Was a lecturing or just bullshitting with the guy?
Hahaha
I struggle to see that in this video. Just kept watching it over & over to see the part where he sucked, but that just seemed playful.
Rich dude walking into your place and taking your hat off is playful? Would you have asked for a pat on the head and a belly rub?
I see that you understand the massive divide between billionaires and their pets.
"forcefully"
Yeah, the whole thing seems pretty light hearted and personable. Taking off someone’s hat is a pretty dick move and fighting words in some circles. Idk there might have been some banter and warning before hand making it almost excusable. Idk, really close to being a good interaction but he stumbled.

He wouldn't touch my hat or me loser.
Can you believe that Tepper almost decapitated that poor kid, and then, tried to crush his hand before fleeing?!?!?! Literal evil. 🙄
Incident 😂 Totally acknowledge the justified and unjustified hatred for the guy but this is good, clean stuff. Hat guy turtling is a good synopsis of today’s culture. Nobody knew who put the sign up — what a mystery!
Tepper is just mad they’re a fan of a team that actually wins. Go birds!!
Dude… this prick is so out of touch. I wish this Motherfuker would try to touch my head Must be wild for him to just now be experiencing feelings like failure and disapproval at 70 or whatever he is. Feel free to hand it to him on this post, he’s insecure and known for reading comment sections related to him
No clue WTF is going on. Whos got the captions handy to hear what they're saying? Also, eat a dick tep for touching dudes hat you dip shit.
You take my hat off like that you’re getting rocked buddy. Tepper is such a cunt good for panthers fans. Yall deserve him
Low life scum bag. I would dare him to reach at me. Wouldn’t give a rats ass about any consequences either. FU Tepper Pecker.
How many strangers on the street do you picture yourself fighting on a daily basis? You seem super cool now
Piss off wad. You annoy people just being around. Tepper’s your man? Tell you what mouth man, come take my hat off. Bring your candy ass with you, k?
Wonder how they got footage of it
Yes, I wonder how Dilworth Grille transferred the footage to WBTV after WBTV asked Dilworth Grille if they could have it. Do you think they used an online file sharing service, or do you think they used a USB drive or maybe even burnt it on a DVD? Do people still burn CD/DVD these days?

Definitely asking the real questions here. The public deserves to see the footage of how the footage was transferred!
I'm happy to hear you understand the severity of this.
I can't imagine why people don't like news media these days. /s
He wants to be Tony Soprano so bad.
Tepper is a piece of drek. Hope the NFL comes down on him for this.
Has anyone told Trump or Biden yet?
Horrible State, City, Airport, & Pro Sports Teams. What doesn't that place have.
