Jseth Owens, a young football player who berated Cam Newton at Newton’s 7v7 camp over the weekend, issued an apology on Twitter, calling the entire situation a “miscommunication.”
The apology in its entirety:

The exchange, which was caught on camera, showed Owens telling Newton, “You’re a free agent,” “you’re gonna be poor” and “you’re ass” repeatedly. Hardly seems like a “miscommunication” as Owens said, but hopefully he learns his lesson from it.
Owens has felt the full wrath of the internet since the video hit the ’net, with ratios aplenty and people being perhaps a bit unfair for a lapse of judgement. Newton, though, seemed to take it in stride, smiling and asking to speak to the heckler’s father and reminding Owens that he was “rich.”
Here’s hoping Owens puts this behind him and continues building upwards.
