"Maybe he's right and I don't know anything about football, because he's been my fantasy starting QB and killed me for 3 out of 4 weeks"
but that strengthens Cams point. cause if your wife was knowledgeable about football, she wouldnt have made Cam her starting QB. knowing he was coming off a late shoulder surgery and hadnt practiced or played in the preseason.
(joke)
How does that strengthen his point given that one is a casual fan the other's job is to know Football? You really going far to try to justify your argument here
RE: Cam gets all bent out of shape by someone judging his work as a QB Â
Everyone knows what a route is in football. My grandmother could tell you what a WR route is. My 8 year old cousin could tell you. He's surprised a female reporter is talking about routes? What an asshole. That's like saying "hmm it's funny to hear a female talking about zone vs man coverage." It's not like it's fucking rocket science.

Exactly! I mean, if I'm shopping for cars with my wife and she asks the salesman if a particular model is a four-cylinder or V6, and he responds exactly like Cam does in this video: "That's funny, a female talking about cylinders. That's funny," I'm going to be overcome by a strong temptation to punch that fucker.
that's not to say that there can't be a sense of legitimize, impressed surprise when a female exhibits knowledge in an area women typically don't. Shit, movies have been mining the whole "that person's knowledge of a subject is surprising because you underestimated him/her" since the dawn of time. We've all seen My Cousin Vinny and Good Will Hunting.
Typically, the person doing the underestimating in these scenes is not the person you sympathize with.
that this reporter was talking about routes - how about the dozens of other male reporters who don't know shit asking stupid questions? Did he call them out too? No, he didn't.
Just because he does some charity work to enhance his brand doesn't mean he's some great guy like the Paterno apologist claims. He's been filthy since his college days. He's a low character, me-first player who put his foot in his mouth again.

I'm still waiting for him to reach "icon" status. He sort of promised that day would come.

Hasn't he walked out of some press conferences when asked a tough question and done some with a towel over his head when answering tough questions?
Who call Cam Newton a scum bag, even bothered to research all the good deeds on this guy s resume in regards to reaching out to others.
Guy makes a politically incorrect statement, and all of a sudden that out weighs all the good he has done.
What a world.
Eh, I think he's been a smarmy douchebag from day one. The good deeds are outdone by the pouting, self-aggrandizing and wholly inappropriate comments. He remains a douchebag.
Maybe I'm confusing you with those who said he was an asshole or mentally not all there (personal attacks). If you did not share that opinion I apologize.
comes off as an adult stuck in 13 year old cool-dude, big man on campus, exploiting or at least cannot talk to women type, mode. i.e. at that age now, a sociopath scumbag.
sheesh, what he 'donates' is not at all relevant, that's like 'indulgence payments', which I though was over a long time ago.
You don't think the situation generally makes him look like a dickhead?
Not just treating a reporter like they're a no-name, but treating someone with whom you have had interaction with in the past (very likely more than once, or twice, or three times...) like you have no idea who they are?
I'm not saying he needs to have everyone's names memorized (though not out of the question for a group of people who cover the team throughout the year), but I think it gives a small window into how he carries himself on a day to day basis at his job, with arrogance and his nose in the air.
ethically its -exactly- the same as if he had said Â
Has been a complete phony from the word jump. All the way back to when he arrived at Auburn under sketchy circumstances. I’m glad he didn’t apologize cause the fraud wouldn’t have meant it anyway.
He had a rare moment where he dropped the phony facade and let you in to his true nature, cause that’s what he thinks and he didn’t think it was wrong to say it, he thought he was being cute which it was he was kinda chuckling when he said it.
This isn’t something that will help him in th long run financially with endorsement , Dannin is the first they won’t be the last after the fallout from this.
He has got a history of immature behavior and at this point he’s at that age where he is what he is and is going to be which is a phony fraud on a number of levels, don’t be surprised if stories start filtering out on what a dispicable human being he truly is from the press
Cam is 100% wrong to say it, however the backlash is a little high but totally expected these days and warranted to a degree.
The reason why it's not extremely serious is because Cam Newton did not Genuinely try to insult that female reporter, he did it out of complete and utter childish, immature, studipidty, then followed to answer the question eloquently.
Guy will never hear the end of this, he's very stupid, but I don't feel bad for the female reporter at all. Also I don't consider Cam Newton to be a bad man at all, in fact I believe outside of a handful or two of dumb petty childish things, he's been about as outstanding a professional citizen as you can find in today's NFL

Nice post.
RE: just found out she had racist tweets 4/5 years ago... Â
There are so many issues on here to be "wow" about, too.
No, I don't think it should be surprising that a woman asked an intelligent football question. Or watches football and can speak intelligently about it. BBI has plenty of female posters. I am surprised that, in this day and age, Newton was thrown off by it. Have the Panthers really not had any other women beat writers?
It should not be surprising that a woman could explain in detail what she is looking for in a car in terms of specs and performance. Or what seems to be the problem when bringing it into the shop.
I don't see what's happened as an extraordinary amount of outrage. It was a stupid remark. He did lose his Dannon endorsement and it was because he did offend women who do make up the majority of the shoppers of yogurt. I actually find it more surprising that people are taken aback when women like, follow, write and read about sports. I would take watching sports any day of the week over stupid reality TV - sports are the ultimate reality TV, IMV.
My father raised a tomboy and I have spent my entire career in the construction industry so perhaps my experiences differ a bit from other women but I certainly know enough women who talk sports, intelligently, all the time, that I am genuinely surprised by Newton's response.
racist things does not excuse Cam from his comments, or his obligation to issue an apology.
Sure... you're right.
But she sure should lose a lot of sympathy. After all, she seemed pretty proud of her racist father who was being 'super racist' as they passed through some Navajo territory.
RE: RE: RE: just found out she had racist tweets 4/5 years ago... Â
Two of them are about driving through a state with her dad, who is "being super racist." Armed with a general sense of how humor and sarcasm work, I can tell that she's not exactly admiring her dad's racism as much as she's rolling her eyes at it.
The NASCAR tweet looks like a quote of said dad, to provide an example of his eye-rolling racism.

LOL! I guess it's a matter of perspective then... finding humor in anyone's racism would be frowned upon I'd think.
my wife and her two sisters roll their eyes at their tep mother's displays of racism all the time. "Haha... we were just at a stoplight and Joanne saw an African American on a bike and locked the car doors."
It's definitely more of a laughing at, not laughing with.

He then goes and judges a reporters work due to her sex.
Brilliant on Cam's part. Absolutely brilliant
Excellent point. He plays the "you judge me by my color" while judging someone else based on gender
No matter how hard you try to spin it, it won t.
I should know better than to ever make a counter pt to some of you guys. You can t seem to handle opposing points of view without making it personal.
Weird.
Today: Cam is misunderstood and does charity.
K.
That's a good point.
Hooters requires women to dress skimpy, which is degrading in itself, right?
fellas, lets all eat lunch at Hooters today and tell these managers to make these girls put some clothes on

In fact I have stated repeatedly the Giants are not better without him.
On this thread Newton has been called a scum bag. I just felt it would be fair to point out for a scum bag he has been pretty generous.
If you can't see that these two subjects have nothing in common, well there is just not much point in discussing the matter further with you.
and he is losing endorsement deals over it.
we are truly a soft nation if this is where we choose to put our energy.
sheesh, what he 'donates' is not at all relevant, that's like 'indulgence payments', which I though was over a long time ago.

Its exactly like that.
The reporters ability to understand the game has ZERO to do with her sex, and in this day and age one should know better.
She may well understand the game better than many of us...including staff members! ;-0
Just as your' shade or hair has ZERO to do with your language of choice.
