Cam Newton reported for theft by Packers fan for sign incident

Cam Newton clearly angered a Green Bay Packers fan by tearing down his sign, as the police were called on him.

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton continues to play at his highest level, and he helped lead the Panthers to a hard-fought win over the Green Bay Packers at home. The Panthers improved their record to 8-0, and Newton showed his loyalty to the Panthers by taking down a sign that said “North Carolina Cheesehead.” The Panthers quarterback, because of this, is now being reported for theft.

Here is a photo of the sign that Newton took down, and he was also seen walking away with it.

Newton tore down this sign in an effort to “protect this house” and explained that you wouldn’t “sell a Whopper at McDonald’s.” Packers fans are well-known for having plenty of their fans attend games, even if they are on the road. Apparently, Bank of America Stadium was no different as Newton felt it was his duty to take down anything that supports the Packers in his home stadium.

The Panthers quarterback will not likely receive any disciplinary action, but his actions clearly didn’t sit well with Packers fans since he was reported to the police for theft. Ironically, Newton has already been in trouble before for stealing a laptop during his time at University of Florida. He has made a fresh start since though, and he won the Heisman Trophy at Auburn while leading them to a national championship before the Panthers drafted him first overall in 2011.

Newton has proven to be a winner in the NFL just like he was in college, as he inherited a 2-14 team and turned them into a 12-4 team just three years later. He is on track to lead them to their third consecutive NFC South title.
