Cam Newton and coaches involved in viral brawl will NOT face jail time as police reveal no one involved in 7v7 youth football fracas chose to press charges

None of the people involved in a mass brawl involving Cam Newton and coaches at a 7-on-7 football event in Atlanta will face jail time after everyone involved chose not to press charges.

Cameras captured Newton, who last played for the Carolina Panthers back in 2021, scrapping with several men after appearing to be ambushed by a large group.

But after officers arrived on the scene and the dust settled, police say that no one asked for medical assistance and no one wanted to press charges. 

'Neither Mr. Newton or any of the other involved persons who remained on scene indicated that they required medical attention or wished to pursue criminal charges," the Atlanta Police Department said in a statement Wednesday afternoon.

'The responding officers completed an information only incident report to document what had occurred. At this time, it is unknown how or why the scuffle occurred.'

No one involved in an Atlanta brawl that included Cam Newton will press charges 

Newton was involved in a brawl at a 7-on-7 football event in Atlanta on Sunday, when cameras captured him scrapping with several men. But police say no charges were filed.

On Monday, a video emerged of a man wearing a TopShelf Performance hoodie - who was seemingly involved in the fight - appearing to hit out at Newton before the brawl broke out.

'I'm going to say it - they can't hide the film now... your non-throwing a** Atlanta hero quarterback cannot beat me,' he said. 

And after footage of the fracas went viral over the weekend, the man heard aiming a dig at Newton and then scrapping with the ex-NFL MVP - TopShelf Performance coach TJ Brown - has revealed the story behind it.

Brown discussed the fallout with Newton which centered around him and little brother Steph - also a football coach for TopShelf Performance.

The Brown brothers have pitted their youth team against Newton's in the past and gotten the better of him on three occasions, meaning there was no love lost by the time they met for a fourth time on Sunday. 

TJ alleges that Newton initially ignited a war of words by trash talking their team, opening up on what went down in an interview with Fox News.

'It’s probably three minutes into the game, he’s sitting up top with all his kids around him under a tent yelling down on us,' he said about Newton. '"Hey, I know that play. That’s my stuff. I taught y’all everything y’all know. I’m y’all daddy. I made y’all. I’m the reason for everything y’all got going on." He’s just yelling all this stuff.'

Brown then revealed that the physical altercation began when his brother Steph confronted Newton after the game, which is when the situation escalated.

Video footage showed Newton grabbing Steph by his jacket after they traded insults, before TJ intervened.

'If you’re walking up a flight of stairs, and you see a 6’6" guy grab your little brother trying to throw him down some stairs, you’re going to intervene,' TJ said. 

'It doesn’t matter who you are, rather it be a punch, rather it be a push, rather it be grabbing him. You’re going to do something. So, at that point, with Cam putting his hands on another grown man, something is going to come behind that.

'If you ask anybody about me, I’m not confrontational, I’m not loud, I don’t get mad at people, I don’t argue with people, I don’t fight, I don’t do none of that crazy stuff. That’s not me.'

TJ went on to describe Newton's antics as 'typical Cam Newton behavior on the 7-on-7 scene.

'Nobody’s just going to let you go around disrespecting and talking crazy to them' he added. 'I know how to brush it off, but not everybody’s like that.'

Steph also added: 'I’m disappointed in myself. I let Cam trigger me to that point where I entertained what he was doing, but it was never out of ill will or to put him in harm’s way. 

'I’m 5’9", man, but I stand on what I stand on. I say what I’m going to say no matter what. I ain’t got to be loud, this and that. But me going up there was to let him know, "Cam, you’re not gonna disrespect our organization, you’re not going to disrespect our kids or our parents out here. You’re bigger than that."'
