Cam Newton: T-shirt with MLK quote was 'fitting for what was going on'

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton says “stay tuned" on whether he’ll wear another T-shirt for pregame warm-ups like the black one he donned on Sunday with a Martin Luther King quote on the back.

The quote said in all capital letters: "INJUSTICE ANYWHERE IS A THREAT TO JUSTICE EVERYWHERE." MLK

Newton wore the shirt after a week in which there were violent protests on Wednesday night only a few blocks from Bank of America Stadium following the Tuesday shooting death of a black man by a black police officer in Charlotte.
