On Monday, a video of Carolina Panthers great Cam Newton went viral—one in which he addressed a teenage “fan” who heckled him during the recent New Orleans stop of Deestroying’s “1ON1” tour. Newton then addressed the situation on Tuesday while releasing some previously unseen footage of his own.
“So too many times, we’ve seen people—hecklers, fans, whatever—give off an energy not knowing that they may get what they’re asking for,” he said. “As a fan, you’re free to say whatever you want to say. My issue comes when you play the victim. You started this and the energy that you are giving, I just matched it.”
