Cam Newton found himself at the center of attention on social media Sunday due to a viral altercation that took place during a 7-on-7 football tournament in Atlanta.
The tournament, hosted by “We Ball Sports,” is an annual invite-only event featuring flag football, with the winning team standing to earn up to $5,000 in cash prizes.
Video footage capturing the incident shows Newton in the midst of a heated confrontation, attempting to fend off multiple individuals. While the exact sequence of events leading up to the altercation remains unclear, it appears that Newton was involved in a verbal exchange that escalated into a physical confrontation, with him being punched from behind, sparking a larger altercation involving multiple participants.
In the aftermath of the incident, speculation arose on social media suggesting that Newton may have been confronting members of a group known as the “TSP Crew,” a team competing in the 7-on-7 tournament. However, this connection has yet to be officially confirmed.
The “TSP Crew” refers to TopShelf Performance, an “18U National 7v7 Program” as described on their official Instagram page. TopShelf Performance is among the teams participating in the “We Ball Sports” tournament, adding context to the speculation surrounding Newton’s involvement in the altercation.
Despite the intense nature of the altercation, the video concludes with Newton seen smiling and making a remark before walking away from the scene, leaving many questions unanswered about the details and motivations behind the incident.
