Farrah and Farrah bb
They can't sue him unless they can show some damages. I don't see how getting doused with a gin and tonic would damage anyone.
Emotional distress of course. Plus juries aren’t typically very sympathetic towards rich spoiled billionaires. I bet Farret and Farret would love a crack at that one.

If you knew for sure that, that chick was a billionaire, you definitely would have.
Don't ever poke a billionaire like that. You will surely regret it.

I didn't see that in the video. What made you state that he realized his mistake after ~ 5 seconds?

Assault is a criminal charge. Lawsuits are civil cases. To sue someone, you have to have damages. I don't think he damaged anyone.
The NFL fined a franchise owner $250K for making a rude gesture to a fan of an opposing team. This was years ago. I read about it this morning in a local (NC) article about the Tepper incident. I'll see if I can find the article and link it.

In 2009, the NFL fined the late Titans owner Bud Adams $250,000 for making an obscene gesture at Buffalo fans while celebrating Tennessee's victory over the Bills.

Bud said it was worth every penny.
$300,000 to a billionaire is like $30.
I figured it would be a slap on the wrist which for a billionaire, this is.
Shad Khan and Mayor Deegan should publicly post a letter to Tepper informing him that he is no longer invited to EverBank Stadium. Toothless? Utterly. But it shows the owner and city are on the side of the fans. Plus, it's more bad press for a guy who is likely to be pushed out of the league.
Always wondered how fine payments are enforced. Are players docked fines through the team or directly from the player?
This guy got dinged for $300K, could see him trying to pay fine thorugh the team.

ITA with this. 110%.
$300k LOL... I seen on twitter that $300k is like .000000000124% of his wealth or some [BLEEP] like that. That will surely make him never do something like that again LOLOLOL
He actions didn't hurt any fans but could have hurt someone. The punishment should be more severe. Dock the team's salary cap next year. Something like that.

More like 30 cents. Of course this guy could have gone off at anytime during their 2-15 run, but it’s the loos vs the jags that made him snap.
lol

Emotional pain and suffering for being nationally humiliated. Bring on Morgan and Morgan.
As a side note, what players are going to want to play for this clown? He needs to sell or just recede into the background and let qualified football people run things.

The ego won't allow that.

It's like if a person had a net worth of $1 million, and he got fined $10.
