RE: RE: If you could go back in time and eliminate all social media from ever
Why? So one's racist past can't catch up to them? So that Cam can be slammed for his sexist remarks... but she can't because no one would know about her racist tweets?
My post was in general.
But since you asked, it's actually the opposite, a. so people didn't have the ability to say all that stupid sh-t to the masses, and b. so the social media PC mobs couldn't rabble rouse major companies to take away endorsements or get people fired over fairly minor sh-t.

Regarding a, as has been said many times lately, I'd rather people get their stupidity out in the open for everyone to see so that I can KNOW whether your a racist POS (like her and her family) rather than not know.
Regarding b, do you feel like Dannon unfairly removed their endorsement from CAM? You didn't seem to have a problem with that (or if you did I missed it and apologize in advance) then. Not to mention, racist tweets are anything but minor shit if you ask me.

I'd still gladly continue slamming Newton if it wouldn't give the impression that I'm sticking up for a racist. Doesn't change my opinion that Cam is a complete jerk-off.
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.

Glad you can tell that from tweets.
Isn't it pretty obvious?
Evidently not... particularly since she felt the need to apologize for them.

I hadn't stated an opinion on Cam or anything else in this thread. That post was my lone post on the subject.
b. was in reference exclusively to Cam, and losing his sponsorship over what I perceive to be minor sh-t ie: his comment.
I already noted that it's not a good look and that it makes me sad that people suck, but if you'd like a more explicit sound bite, sounds like her dad is a complete asshole and she should be ashamed of herself for condoning/applauding that stuff.

And thus I wondered what what the reasoning behind your post.
I have no problem with him losing that endorsement to be honest with you. You say dumb shit, you have to deal with the consequences. What will be interesting though is what... if any... consequences she may face? I doubt any personally.
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.
Agreed. And if Cam Newton were smart (which as of now is a bit in doubt), he'd use the opportunity to take the higher road and make an apology without any equivocations. It would go a long way in fixing this mess for himself, and maybe even create some productive dialogue about both sexism and racism.
You're really more inclined to read that thing as actual admiration for her dad being racist the whole ride home, instead of being an "oh, out-of-touch dads" observation? I'd stay away from all Facebook posts, tweets, Yelp reviews, etc. from 20 and 30 somethings if that's the case.
I already noted that it's not a good look and that it makes me sad that people suck, but if you'd like a more explicit sound bite, sounds like her dad is a complete asshole and she should be ashamed of herself for condoning/applauding that stuff.
Actually I'm looking for some of that name-calliing that Cam was subjected to on this thread. I want to hear some 'That BITCH!', 'That cumbucket POS!'... ya know.. the good stuff!

Yeah.. I don't see that happening. And truth be told, I don't want him to if he doesn't truly feel that way.
this is just kind of how wry sarcasm works these days
Put it this way: have you honestly seen very many posts from people that express an earnest admiration for someone being racist? "I hung out with Joe and he's the best... I love his racist jokes!" "Good times driving with my friend, one of the funnies racists I know."
I can't even believe I'm trying to explain this shit.
The out of control PC culture of the country, as well as the power of social media mobs.
Eh... it's my opinion that people always talk about the country being too PC or not when it suits their purpose. Some of the very same people who are slamming Newton for what he said are the very same people who yell 'The Pussification of America continues!!!' for instance....

Truth be told... I can't believe it either. Again, guess it's a matter of perspective.
But to answer your question... yes, I have... and usually it's because that person is racist too.

to talk about themselves and other people? Usually they gussy it up with terms like "Un-PC."
Whatever... I'll just maintain that knowing how people tweet about everything they see these days and often do so with sarcasm, I think it's pretty fuckin safe to assume that it's in the spirit of the eye-rolling tweet, and not literally "Having fun with my dad! Racist jokes all the way home!"
work and all... it's just funny to me how a certain person can pass off something ignorant he said about women as 'locker room talk' and a sizable segment of society is ok with it... but let Cam Newton express surprise that a woman is knowledgeable about football routes... and he's an asshole that should lose endorsements!

and speaking of not going for fumbles, and since Boomer Esiason was ripping Eli the other day...
I'll never forget when they were doing the halftime, or postgame, show when Drew Brees tore up his shoulder going for a fumble.... But after showing the highlight and Boomer clearly said, "Yeah, I might have gone for that one"... there was a long post and all of them were looking at him, and maybe it was Marino said "did you just say you MIGHT have gone for it?!" Cut to commercial.
Pardon my typos in that last post, I was distracted.
Just a curious question. What was the score when he didn't go for that ball? For some reason I think that was in the final 20 seconds of the game and Cam just thought "fuck it"
being fired from Dannon is pretty harsh and probably unnecessary. They probably assume a lot of their customers actually watched the video, where he comes across far, far worse than just the words present. I doubt many did see it.

Evidently not... particularly since she felt the need to apologize for them.
"He's the best. Going for it on 4th down all the time."
Do you think they're sarcastic, or literal?

Some adults apologize for things they say that might upset other people even when that wasn't their intent.

Yeah.. that's the same thing...

Feel free to hold onto that opinion santa....
As you can already see... not many.
And with that... I'm out.
I'm fairly certain the number of people in the USA offended by the "bus talk" vastly outnumber those upset at Cam's.
By probably at least a magnitude of 20.
I don't care if you throw for 500,000 yards and 5,000 TDs in your career. There is no getting over that.

They were down 6 points with 4 minutes left. Unimaginable.

Compare that effort to Eli Manning's on the Tyree play, where the circumstances were more dire.
