Theresa May, During a 7v7 All-Star tournament that took place in Atlanta over the weekend, former National Football League star Cam Newton was captured on film defending himself against a group of men. A video that is currently making the rounds on the internet shows the quarterback, who formerly played for the Carolina Panthers and the New England Patriots, standing his ground at the B.E.S.T. Academy in Atlanta on Sunday. He was there with his 7v7 team, C1N, which competes in a football league that travels to different events all around the United States.
The video shows Newton briefly standing behind a pop-up tent before someone pushes him against a fence. Several additional individuals entered the fray, some of whom were there to throw blows and others to break up the brawl. It is not quite apparent what caused the altercation to occur.
On Sunday, just before 5 o’clock in the afternoon, the squad shared a video on Instagram in which they celebrated their victory.
A spokeswoman for Atlanta Public Schools stated that this was not an event that was organized by the school. Instead, the facilities of the school were being rented out by a third party, and the Atlanta Police Department was requested to provide security for the event.
Cam Newton, who was named the Most Valuable Player of the National Football League in 2015, was reportedly involved in a fight at a 7-on-7 youth football competition in Atlanta, according to a video that surfaced on Sunday.
In the video, three people push Newton toward the top of a flight of stairs while he is donning one of his custom-made hats. After that, the pushing, shoving, and grabbing continue in the direction of a fence line. A police officer and event security personnel intervened to break up the argument that was taking place at the WeBall Sports x DynastyU 7v7 competition that was held at B.E.S.T. Academy. The footage doesn’t even last for thirty seconds.
As shown in the video, Newton, who was selected first overall in 2011 after graduating from Auburn, does not appear to throw any blows and appears to be defending himself against three other individuals. There is reported to have been one punch thrown in Newton’s direction; however, it is not known whether or not the blow actually hit the former quarterback.
According to the website of Newton, who is from Atlanta, he is the leader of the C1N, which is an organization that was established in 2021 and focuses on developing the talents of young athletes in football by providing them with opportunities to participate at the highest level through 7-on-7 tournaments and other events. According to the website, the mission of the organization is to establish a setting that encourages growth and development both on and off the pitch, specifically with the intention of assisting young players in accomplishing their objectives in football and in life.
After spending a portion of the 2021 season with the Carolina Panthers, the same team that drafted Newton, Newton has not participated in any National Football League (NFL) games since that year. Although Newton played in the National Football League for 11 seasons, he threw for more than 32,000 yards and 194 touchdowns. During his career with the Panthers and the New England Patriots, he managed to score 75 touchdowns on the ground.
