This had to have been a shock to Cam Newton.
The 2015 NFL MVP was traveling back to the U.S. from Paris this weekend when he went viral for the wrong reason.
Prior to the 10-hour flight taking off, Newton tried to switch his seat. Not through the airline, but simply by pulling out cold-hard cash to a fellow passenger.
Unfortunately, the passenger had no need for $1,500 and no sympathy for the 6'5", 245-pound All-Pro.
Nothing could have been worse on that flight than having to walk away being all giant just to sit down in a seat that's mad uncomfortable.
