Cam Newton: I'm an African-American quarterback that may scare a lot of people because they haven't

[bksballer89]

Literally all Cam does is Superman or Dab, and then go and give the ball to a kid. How can people be this blinded?

They're stupid. Its no different than Tony Gonzalez doing his slam dunk after every TD back when he played. Its the same thing actually. No different than Denver doing the mile high salute back in the late 90's

Wow. This is a problem for you? Good luck.

It's not a problem. It's just a recognition of someone being a douche. It is what it is.

You are intentionally ignoring the difference between spontaneous emotional outburst & choreographed dance moves. The question was legit in the light of you deliberate obfuscation of those facts.

Spike a ball and sometimes dance with your teammates? Cool because it's spontaneous. Do the same dance moves every time you score and then give the TD ball to a kid in the stands? Choreographed bullshit. Just wow.

Because a douche would totally give free footballs to kids right?

So are Panthers complaining about Cam getting too much attention?

Nope. From what I've read, his teammates love him.

Are fans not allowed to dislike certain players?

See what I mean? Clearly the "are you really this dumb?" question was justified.

Which is a MUCH bigger problem. imo

 

[Davis_Mike]

Yes. Next question.

Tom Brady, Tim Tebow, Kaep, RGIII, Luck, etc. etc. etc. etc. Pretty much every QB celebrates.

Look, if you think that Cam isn't doing anything different than other QBs, then this conversation is pointless.

No I don't see what you mean at all. You're just blind.

He celebrates when he get in the endzone as he is allowed to do. Have a problem? STOP HIM

 

[TKOSpikes]

Nope. From what I've read, his teammates love him.

Sure. Dislike all you want. Just know it sounds pathetic and whiney.

I'm not saying he isn't. He is. But there's not a damn thing wrong with it.

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

Who was the last quarterback to do it?

This is exactly his point.

It's somehow okay for a black wide receiver to dance after a touchdown, or a black defensive end to do a sack-shimmy, but not for the black quarterback.

 

[Davis_Mike]

Look, if you think that Cam isn't doing anything different than other QBs, then this conversation is pointless.

This is the truth.

I rarely go out of my way to say anything negative about most players, but the question was asked. And they don't like the answers they are getting. This thread is pointless in that light.

The Steelers have been doing choreographed celebrations all year long, but nobody gave a fuck about it. You know why? Because they are one of the most respected, loved franchises in the world. A lesser known franchise does it with a Superstar QB leading the charge? It's douchey bullshit. How can you guys not see a double standard here?

BINGO. Why can't a quarterback celebrate when he does something good like every other position player does without criticism?

 

[DJ Fieri]

You need a little context to why he even said that

Yep.

"But but but, QB's are supposed to lead the team and lead by example." Whiny pathetic bitches who are stuck in the past.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Cam celebrates excessively more than any other QB.
