Great example of how tight the team is.

This Cam Newton/banner story is frankly silly.

But the reaction it has created from his teammates has been impressive, and may speak to the solidarity that has helped them run out to an 8-0 start.

A number of teammates have stepped forward to take the blame for Newton, who said he was just trying to “protect this house,” when he pulled down a Packers banner hanging over the lower level of Bank of America Stadium during pre-game warmups.

Again, the aggrieved owner of the banner doesn’t have much of a beef, since the team has a clear, written policy against banners supporting opposing teams.

Some of our resident Twitter warriors should look for more.

I'm really surprised how much these analysts have defended Cam when it comes to ripping the banner down. 

It just makes it better that they tweeted their story out to these sports news outlets and they are mocking them. Lol.

you know, this is more than likely going to result in more signs and banners from opposing teams.

They still have to get them approved.

Stadium policy bars them from being hung on the wall.

Someone should hang a banner with the words "Cam, tear down my sign!!" and a picture of someone in a Panthers uniform pooing on the opposing team's logo (since the logo is the deal breaker on banner hanging).

Now that there is a controversy you can bet that stadium management will be looking to make sure every single one is removed as are Cam's wishes.

This is a Packer fan I can get down with.

I would be willing to bet that the team used it as a rug on the way out of the locker room. I'd imagine this was used as part of the pregame speech. I'd like for an opposing fan to always bring banners like that in, that way, the team has a rug to stomp on the way out.

No banners or flags expressing support of visiting teams may be affixed to or displayed on any surface. Hand held signs or posters that are in compliance with the balance of this policy are acceptable.

I fully expect the stadium crews were briefed and will now be looking for these stupid banners.

Wait, a PFT article about Cam and there are actually Cam supporters in the comment section? That's new.
