There were a ton of Packers fans in Carolina. One of those fans hung a Pro-Packers sign in the stadium and Cam didn’t like that.
Cam explains why he took the banner.
He added a Whopper McDonald’s analogy.
“It’s no disrespect to nobody. It’s just more of a respect to the stadium. We all know gangs, we all know territories, we all know businesses … you’re not about to sit up here and sell a Whopper at a McDonald’s.”
The Packers fan was not amused and reported the theft to the cops.

Here is how he described what happened.
The Green Bay Packers banner that Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton snatched down before the Packers-Panthers game in Charlotte on Sunday afternoon belongs Mike Dobs of Fayetteville.
And Dobs wants it back.
“I was just shocked, shocked,” when Newton grabbed the banner out of his and his family’s hands, Dobs said on Sunday evening.
Dobs wants the banner back so badly — he said he paid $500 to have it made last year to hang in his home’s “man room” — that he told the police at the stadium that it was stolen, and he complained to the Panthers’ management.
It’s Dobs’ understanding that the banner was destroyed. A Panthers employee said the organization would make it up to him, he said.
$500 is a lot for a banner, I might have called the cops too.
