Cam Newton apologizes for fight at Georgia youth football camp: 'There's no excuse'
View Date:2024-12-23 19:32:21
Former NFL quarterback Cam Newton said "there's no excuse" for his behavior during a fight at a 7-on-7 youth football tournament and apologized for his actions.
A video surfaced on Sunday showing Newton being surrounded by three people, with pushing and shoving and Newton attempting to throw the men off him. The fight started under a tent and ended up in a grassy area next to a fence.
The fight was eventually broken up by security personnel at the event.
Newton, the 2015 NFL MVP, commented on the fight at the end of his YouTube show 4th & 1 with Cam Newton, which was posted Friday.
“To every single high school player, to every single person I’ve influenced, to every single athlete—use my situation as a way to understand, that in one moment and one decision, your life can change. Just like that,” Newton said. “And I let my emotions get the best of me, and it should not have been called for. Simple.

“And with that, I apologize to anybody affected—that’s Steph, that’s TJ, that’s their organization, that’s C1N, my organization, that’s my players, my parents, my staff members.”
TJ and Steph Brown were the coaches involved in the fight, who had previously worked for Newton. They apologized for their role in the fight earlier this week.
Newton said he wanted to be an example to younger people and said the fight could have escalated even further.
"I can't sit up there and say, 'hey, bro, you gotta be bigger than that' and then all of a sudden I do that -- and that just goes to show you you've got to always stay in control of your emotions," Newton said.
