I still think there is more to the story, but according to TMZ this is when Ron Rivera got fed up with Cam not wearing a tie.
Here it is … the moment Panthers head coach Ron Rivera confronted Cam Newton about his dress code violation before the team trip to Seattle … and TMZ Sports has the video.
It all went down on Saturday at the bay area hotel where the team had been staying since playing the Raiders in Oakland the previous weekend.
After the players and coaches had boarded their buses to go to the airport to head to Seattle to play the Seahawks … Rivera got off his bus, went to Cam’s bus, and pulled Cam off for a 1-on-1 convo.
We’re told this was the moment Rivera confronted Cam about his dress code violation — not wearing a tie on travel day.
Cam could have worn a tie, but said he couldn’t wear a tie with a turtleneck and he didn’t have time to find a shirt that matched his outfit.
