Cam Newton: Panthers fans ‘classless’ for cheering Johnny Manziel injury
Cam Newton had some harsh words for fans at Sunday’s Panthers-Browns game who cheered when Johnny Manziel was injured.
According to AP reporter Steve Reed, Newton said the move by the fans was “classless.”
“We are better than that,” Newton added.
Not only was Newton saying that because cheering an injured player is a poor show by the crowd, but also because he was the subject of a taunt by his home crowd recently.
Last week, a fan at the Panthers’ home game mocked Newton by dressing up in a car accident outfit.
Between these two issues, Panthers fans are starting to develop a reputation that rivals Philly sports fans.
Here is the play where Manziel suffered his injury, though you cannot hear the fans:
