Cam Newton won’t let a mean NFL ref stop him from giving a kid a football

Cam Newton is very intent on giving children the football after every Panthers touchdown. He goes out of his way to make sure that ball ends up in the hands of a kid in the stands. One NFL ref didn’t make it easy for Cam to continue the tradition.

The referee was apparently not having it, despite Newton pleading. But, Newton would not be denied.

If Julius Peppers wasn’t going to keep Cam Newton from giving a football away, a ref certainly didn’t have much of a shot.
