Broadcasters Shannon Sharpe and Robert Griffin III reported that a brawl broke out at a youth football event in Atlanta, Georgia, during which several thugs jumped former NFL star Cam Newton. I’m blaming.
The brawl occurred during a 7-on-7 football game in Atlanta, Georgia on February 25th. The match was supposed to bring together teenagers for some healthy amateur competition.
according to The Athleticthe brawl began when top-shelf performance members of the soccer training organization confronted Newton at a tent sponsored by We Ball Sports, an apparel and sports media company Newton was working with.

It is unclear whether Newton and Top Shelf operatives had a pre-existing troubled relationship, but Top Shelf operatives are reported to have been involved with Newton’s mentoring of youth in the past. new york post I got it.
The top-shelf youth team defeated Newton’s Weeball team in what was described as a “heated game” that included a lot of trash talk between the players and coaching staff.
Several people watched the video of this game and commented that a white quarterback like Peyton or Eli Manning wouldn’t have to worry about being so disrespected by people at an event like this. Ta.
“Peyton and Eli [Manning] “We’ve been camping for 20-odd years,” said broadcaster Shannon Sharpe. “I’ve never seen any kids disrespectful to Peyton and Eli.”
you all think it’s cute [to tell Newton he’s trash]. That’s not the case,” Sharp continued. “It’s really embarrassing when someone takes time out of their day to try to give something back. And yet you’re so rude and ungrateful.”
Ms. Sharp added, “Cam is so much better than me because I can’t stand my own kids disrespecting me. If I’m going to let other people’s kids disrespect me, I’m going to fuck up.” It will be.”

Robert Griffin III agreed and defeated the attackers. Griffin said it’s impossible for black people to expect to earn respect in American society when they engage in public assaults like the one against Newton.
Griffin slammed the incident in a series of posts on X.
The Cam Newton fight was an incredible feat of standing up for business and a huge demonstration that if we want to change the narrative, we have to stop attacking each other. https://t.co/uNdL2Dabg1 pic.twitter.com/Tv78ce2m8f

Honestly, I hate seeing this. No one, not even Cam Newton, should be disrespected like this. How can we stand up and be better for our community and change the narrative when we are attacking each other like this? A 7-on-7 tournament turns into a brawl and people leave… https://t.co/uNdL2D9Dqt

Organizers of the 7on7 event said Top Shelf officials and Newton have been removed from the event and that an internal investigation into the incident is underway.
“We are deeply concerned by the recent incident involving Cam Newton and our thoughts are with all those affected,” the group said in a statement. “Violence has no place in our community. We strongly condemn all forms of aggression.”
