David Tepper isn’t just a bad NFL owner. He’s stealing Charlotte’s sports joy | Opinion

The Carolina Panthers have had zero stability — and zero winning seasons — since David Tepper bought the team in 2018.

This season was supposed to be different. But the Panthers have won just one measly game — an NFL-worst record that led Tepper to fire head coach Frank Reich on Monday. Like his predecessors, Reich was ousted mid-season, but he didn’t even last a year.

It turns out that you really can keep sinking lower, even when it feels like there’s nowhere to go but up.

Under Tepper, though, this city is losing more than just a whole lot of football games.
