Over the weekend, Cam Newton took his C1N football players to a 7-on-7 tournament organized by We Ball Sports, an apparel and sports media company.
The tournament brought youth under-15 and under-18 teams in Georgia and Alabama for the competition, but things became heated. According to Nehemiah Mitchell, the co-founder of We Ball Sports, players from TopShelf Performance, a wide receiver training facility in Atlanta, beat out Newton's C1N in a "heated game" with a lot of trash talk on Saturday (February 24).
Mitchell added that tensions boiled over the following day, with individuals involved with TopShelf Performance approaching Newton at a tent. At one point, Newton was grabbed, which led to an altercation between various people, including Newton.
After security broke up the fight, everyone involved, including Newton, was removed. TopShelf Performance trainers/coaches Stephon and TJ Brown told The Athletic, "We are deeply concerned about the recent incident involving Cam Newton, and our thoughts are with all parties affected. Violence has no place in our community, and we strongly condemn any form of aggression."
