Cam didnt fight anyone, he was holding them and stopping them from fighting him. This is a representation of him and how he is trying to build up kids and the community. The community is fighting him and he is just trying to stop the fighting and just have them focus on building. I love that Cam didnt swing, but just held them.

My level of respect for Cam has gone up.
I'm black, and I say this from the bottom of my heart, these types of folks are not my people nor my brothers, all that nonsense about being the same race means we are together. No, thank you. I don't believe in my people, I believe in my kind. And my kind has morals, respect, trustworthiness, and functioning brain cells. In simple terms dignified.

The time has come for us to break free from the mental restraints that have held us back as a community. The sooner we liberate ourselves from the shackles of outdated cultural norms, the brighter our future will be as black individuals. The notion of clinging to a so-called "culture" that no longer serves our growth is as lifeless as a door nail. Let us embrace change, innovation, and unity, for therein lies our true strength and progress.

Cam handled it well since he was attacked. It was horrible to see this and to see other videos where it appeared that this was planned. Unfortunately, men get just as jealous and resort to violence as an expression. I hope Cam continued to support local communities. Also, I hope parents who have sons who play see this as a negative and stay clear of those who celebrated the attack of a respected athlete.

I am a black man raised by two parents in the 70’s and out the gate we were taught discipline, respect and humility. I played sports my entire childhood and was taught by my older brothers and others in the neighborhood that trash talk is a part of the game but don’t talk it if you can’t take. I say all that to say that - today’s youth are not raised with those values and the “OG’s” are not schooling the youth as they did back in my childhood. Parents don’t correct their kids (they make excuses) and don’t want anyone else to discipline them. They are taught to fight and/or kill rather than conflict resolution. Their social skills are depleted bc they spend too much time communicating through technology rather than face to face. What happened to Cam would have never happened in my youth bc we respected those who helped and/or gave back. Today parents and kids feel entitled and think it’s the JOB of people of Cam’s status to help and “give back” bc he’s made it and ironically if and when they do - this is the respect they get. 🤦🏽♂️SMDH - We, those of us in the black culture - We Have to get better and Be better! We are our own worst enemy and we are killing ourselves from the inside out!!!!!

And please say you not doing it, you handing in your jersey THE NEXT DAY. New spot open.

Gentlemen thank you for speaking on this topic, I had the pleasure of officiating a recent 7on7 tournament, that Cam and his father ran at Largo HS, they are first class people who give back to a lot of communities, this is sad what happened as an official over 20yrs I'm not surprised, you would be shocked if I shared some of the experiences I've had with inner city youth football, my family urged me to quit 5yrs ago I keep coming back, because they have a hard time getting officials.

I commend him he handled that the best he could. It's really sad when in this day and age we still can't get it together. The brain washing is so deeply immbedded we can't seem to rise above it. Such a shame. I don't know Cam but I'm proud of him

I hate when ppl say it won’t happen at other camps. Duh!! They don’t operate like Cam. Fred even said it himself, Cam brings a different level of passion to the game til this day. Peyton and Eli don’t operate like Cam so ofc their camp is going to be mellow. Cam is very active with his players and the kids on the circuit. He invites all the trash talk bc he’s a competitor! This is the only bad accident to happen over his 10 years of doing this, but somehow we just can’t help ourselves. Cam has been doing a great job and this one incident won’t stop him from doing work with our young black boys. Stop trying to group a whole race of people for something a few did. The irony, they had a full day of football, but ppl act like this fight was the only thing that happened. Clearly we know how to come together and make things happen for the better. But like every race and situation, there will be a few problems. It’s not a black ppl thing, it’s reality. Stop painting this picture off of one incident. It’s disingenuous to everything Cam has built with his 7v7 circuit. Fred was spot on tho. Parents be more involved and educate your children on respect and the opportunities presented to them. It takes a village and we can’t be deterred bc of fixable challenges.. and stop comparing to white people. RC comparing us to white culture just sounds like appeasement. Especially when we don’t operate the same
Totally agree why is it always us. It’s sad real sad. People please wake up and raise your children to be respectful to someone who is trying to help. Cam is no chump!
This might be the best sport talk shows, please keep up the great information 🙏🏾👍🏿
Good you are talking about this. A conversation that need to be had .
Big W for Cam! Really appreciate him showing our community. How a king is supposed to behave in such a situation. Understanding the responsibility you have to our youth and what you mean to them as a leader and role model. This is high-level discernment on his part, and we love to see it.
Great point Ryan!!! We have to do better as a people for those that pour into our kids! Cam is a good dude for pouring into our children!!

All 3 of you make good points, personally I think they're jealous of Cam Newton because he is doing more for his community than anybody and he talks more crap than anybody but they disrespect him they talk s*** to him so hey but when you come talking about putting your hands on him that's a No-No that's something that you didn't even think through because you were so jealous jealous.
Thank You Guys once Again. Cam Continuous Blessings❤
Hope this leads to teams giving a focused Cam a spot on a team the dude deserves a shot
You guys are so right man proud of you all how you are positively projecting this is awfully sad that you guys make it and be successful and try to give back to the community the way you should and you got individual our community is failing to recognize and make the correction keep the positive energy but let's continue to try to work as men and do something about it
Maaaan, I asked the same question to myself that Fred asked. "WHY US". Those same people would've been on their best behavior at a 7 on 7 Manning camp....GUARANTEED!
This whole conversation ❤️
Cam handled this 100 percent perfectly
Been loving Cam since Auburn !!! Wouldn't miss a televised game !!
I have coached both boys and girls, have refereed boys and girls sports, and have attended many games of boys and girls sports. The one thing that disappoints me the most is the behavior of some of the coaches. I respect the fact that the coaches take time out of their busy lives to guide and teach these you people with little or no reward. To that I say thank you. Sometimes, the coaches lose perspective on the purpose of the kids participation. If I were the parent of a child in this organization, I would remove the child and demand a refund of my money. This is not what we want guiding and teaching our children.
I have so much respect for Cam Newton. He's doing great work out there a lot of people don't talk about 👏🏿
Cam is a really good and nice dude foreal. When he played for the panthers we use to see him all of the time just hanging out downtown. Everyone knew where his condo was downtown and there were no issues at all. He never had security and would literally ride his hover board down town just kicking. He is a good dude in real life.
I really enjoy this show. I love how they all listen to each others take and allow one another to have their word
I got your back Cam Newton, some of the problems in life come from my own skin color, jealousy betrayal, we have to open our eyes before it’s too late

Y'all hit the nail on the head with this analysis. Cam conducted himself in the best manner he possibly could. However, the optics won't properly illustrate his love and desire to grow the game.
I promise it is refreshing AND empowering to hear Black MEN speak with foresight & intelligence all while in support of another brother ! Listen Up CULTURE.

How RC match with that recliner? Head just floating in air 😂
Ryan Clark 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Great commentary and analysis...particularly by RC. While it is and was embarrassing for our community...it really speaks to the necessity to dead center a discussion on how Black men 1. treat each other (and the historical moorings of self hatred) and 2. How as Black men, we engage our young men...and how they engage us. There are many factors beyond what transpired to this event...that plague our community everyday...which can also be a catalyst as why so many of us, including the podcast crew, began playing the sport of football. It does what American society has rarely ever done....it validates our existence. 😢 Like Brother Dap ringing the bell on the yard at Mission College, shouting, "WAKE UP!!!!!"
I believe that the issue is in the U.S. CULTURE ITSELF. NOT JUST ONE PARTICULAR GROUP OF PEOPLE. Since around the late 1990's through today, you have an increase in BOTH PARENTS AND YOUNG PLAYERS of ALL ethnic backgrounds either fighting on field or on court, fighting in the stands, attacking referees and coaches, etc. I blame this on the current mindset of the parents themselves AND their parenting styles, the mindset of the athletes and the highly increased emphasis placed on sports and sports achievements. I'm know that there are more issues, but these are just a few.
Thanks guys for having this conversation. I'm so tired of seeing us feeding into the stereotypes of bringing hoodish behavior everywhere we go. Yes there are bad apples in the mix, yes haters will come for you, yes we gotta do better, and yes we got to for the sake of our communities stop being crabs in a barrel carrying switch blades not only putting one another down but cutting you in the process. In the moment take a moment and ask yourself what message am I trying to send? Do I want to look like I'm in charge of my emotions or will I allow ignorance to fuel a situation that could lead to creating a narrative that some folk already THINK I'm a part of? In the end, a memory will be created along with a teachable moment. We are the solution, own your role in the situation, and hold yourself accountable. Seems to me the person looking back at you in the memory has some transparency to address. 😢😢Sad situation. Peeps get it together ❤️
Why dont you see this at a eli or peyton manning camp🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
