Cam Newton addresses viral fight on podcast

Carolina Panthers legend Cam Newton shared his side of the story about the viral video of him getting jumped by a group of people at a 7-on-7 football tournament in Atlanta last weekend, apologizing for letting his emotions get the best of him during a heated moment.

Video surfaced of the incident last weekend. Multiple people were seen attacking Newton from all sides with the former NFL MVP pushing them aside. Newton didn't appear to throw any punches during the scuffle. On this 4th & 1 podcast, Newton said the guys involved were former coaches of his C1N organization and that there is some history between them. He said the incident began as trash talk during a game that led to fighting.

"There was a lot of talking on both sides. On all sides, and let's just put it like that," Newton said. "I don’t want to point the finger and say this person said that or that person said that. Am I saying this is the first time it happened or the last time it happened? It’s something that starts with words and should’ve ended with words.”
