Cam Newton wears injustice shirt during warmups (Photo)

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton is seen wearing a shirt about injustice in the wake of the political protests that have been all over Charlotte.

Charlotte, North Carolina has been in a state of political unrest after the police shooting of Keith Lamont Scott during the week. Charlotteans have been protesting all week over Scott’s murder.

Many protestors have threatened to block fans from entering Bank of America Stadium for the Carolina Panthers’ Week 3 home game against the Minnesota Vikings. The NFL considered moving the NFC game to another location in wake of the Charlotte protests, but have opted to keep the game in the Queen City.

During warmups of the game with the Vikings, Panthers star quarterback Cam Newton is seen wearing a shirt giving his opinion on the political protests in his team’s city. ESPN’s Britt McHenry tweeted out a picture of Newton in his warmup garb on Sunday morning.

McHenry pointed out that the shirt said, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” Newton has been relatively neutral during the Black Lives Matter movement sweeping across the nation in recent months.
