Carolina Panther Cam Newton came face to face with a “class clown” this week during a visit to Charlotte’s Sedgefield Middle School, and ended up winning the moment with a sound explanation of Christmas spirit.
In the process, Newton won a lot of fans on social media, after video of the moment was posted on the Charlotte Observer’s Facebook page.
It happened Dec. 19, during Newton’s annual Santa Cam’s Surprise Sleigh program, to pass out gift cards to families in need at four schools. One teen at Sedgefield brought the boisterous class to a hush by suggesting Newton was profiting from the visit.
