Last Sunday, former NFL player Cam Newton was involved in an altercation with three other people at a youth football game.

The 30-second video depicted Newton being cornered by three men near the top of a staircase. A flurry of shoving, grabbing and punching pushes the group toward a fence. The brawl was short, as a police officer and security broke up the fight after a few seconds. It appears that Newton is fighting off the three people on him, and it appears that he did not throw any punches.

The fight occurred at the We Ball Sports x DynastyU 7v7 tournament at B.E.S.T. Academy in Atlanta. Newton runs an organization called C1N, which specializes in teaching football to youths and giving them opportunities to play.

Newton’s website describes the mission of the organization to help the youth achieve their goals on and off the field. They normally play seven-on-seven youth football tournaments, which is where Newton was during the fight.

The brawl was reportedly initiated when Newton trashed talked Steph Brown and TJ Brown, who used to work for Newton.

No charges have been filed.

According to C1N’s X page, a post revealed that the group won the championship.

Newton has not played professional football since 2021, after playing for 11 seasons. In 2011, Newton played for the Carolina Panthers after graduating from Auburn University. He also played for the New England Patriots, scoring 75 total touchdowns in his football career.

This is not the first time Newton has faced controversy for his words. In 2022, Newton came under fire for misogynistic comments he made on a podcast.
