Cam Newton appears to have been involved in a massive brawl at a 7-on-7 youth football tournament in Atlanta. Video from the incident shows him fighting off attackers as multiple people try to take him down. The fight is eventually broken up by event security and police officers.
Further details on the incident remain unavailable and the video doesn’t show what may have prompted to attack. Regardless, users on Twitter had plenty of jokes in response. “Josh Norman at least was able to knock Cam’s helmet off in 2015, although by the end he was getting the worst of it, as these guys certainly are, too. Both the hat and Cam stayed upright,” one user wrote. “The footage is grainy, but are we sure that’s not Kelvin Benjamin and Ed Hochuli?” another joked. “He might not be old enough to get that call, but Cam’s got what appears to be old man strength, out here tossing cats out of the club. And the hat never moved.”
