Title: Police investigating Cam Newton

For stealing a banner

http://www.charlotteobserver.com/sports/nfl/carolina-panthers/article43718883.html

A Green Bay Packers fan who had his team’s banner snatched down by Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton at Sunday’s game has reported the incident to police as a theft and said he expects the Panthers to 'make it right.'

“We thought it was a joke at first, but he never came back with the banner,” Dobs said. “That’s when I went to security and told them he stole it. The first officer I talked to just laughed.

“I followed all the rules. I got pre-approval to have that banner, and look what it got me. We were shocked. When Cam ran up, we thought he was going to talk to us, or even sign our banner. But instead he ripped it out of our hands and almost took my son-in-law’s finger with it.

“I’d like an apology from Cam Newton for one thing.”



He's damn lucky Cam didn't beat his ass. 


Security camera footage caught the banner thief in the act.

Word is he took the offensive and illegal banner into the locker room and defused it by shredding it to bits.

I'm guessing bama.com (al.com) will focus on "he nearly took my son's finger off" part...probably headline it with CAM ALMOST KILLS A CHILD AS HE STEALS A GREEN BAY PACKERS SIGN....Auburn and Cam's former OC Gus Malzahn are currently under NCAA investigation for allowing this type of thuggery to happen.

Carolina plays at Dallas on Thanksgiving Day 3:30 CST.
Would it surprise anyone if the banner incident becomes a holiday moneymaker for the NFL?

I could envision Cam having pre-game Turkey dinner with Packer fans. Why not?

Actually it's "former auburn qb steals sign"

Cam's Comment
Quote
"It was a Green Bay banner in Bank of America Stadium," Newton answered. "It just doesn't match. No disrespect to any Green Bay Packer. There it's just a respect thing. We take pride in having an edge playing in Bank of America Stadium, playing in front of the Carolinas each and every week. It's something that I feel it's my due diligence to protect this house. As a gesture of tearing down the sign, it wasn't just about tearing down the sign -- it was the respect. We played in Green Bay last year and I didn't see no 'This is Panther Country' signs in their stadium. I don't know why, but yet I was passing, the sign was dangling, either somebody was going to take it off or I take it off. Like I said, it's no disrespect to nobody. It's more of a respect to the stadium that it is. We all know gangs, we all know territories, we all know businesses. You're not about sit up there and sell a Whopper at no McDonald's. That's the gist of the story."

And after he ripped the sign down, he ran to midfield and signaled first down.

If the fool truly paid $500 for a vinyl sign -- and used s trademarked logo without permission -- he deserves to have his finger ripped off. And shoved sideways up his ass.

I will be disappointed if they make cam apologize or have to meet with that asshole.

They can have that fan stand on the corner in Charlotte at a certain time one day, and Panther fans will come by and donate a little each to pay for the sign. That is IF the guy has the balls to do it.

So, Cam did it for his gang. But I'm still not supporting this. Can't we all just get along?

Somebody should call Obama. Maybe Cam and the whiteys can meet at the Whitehouse to discuss over a beer. Or, malt liquor.

Notice he threw in the "protect this house" line?  Nice product placement
