In the wake of last month’s Charleston church shootings, the Panthers and quarterback Cam Newton were extremely active.
So with the removal of the Confederate flag from the South Carolina state house grounds Friday, it’s no surprise that Newton viewed it as a cause for celebration.
According to Jonathan Jones of the Charlotte Observer, Newton called the act a “triumph,” and said it was a victory for all races, not just African-Americans.
“There shouldn’t be a discrepancy of this particular culture, this particular kind, this particular race between anybody else,” Newton said.
