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

[SlinkyRedfoot]

So quarterbacks are not players? They're not allowed to celebrate. End of the day if Cam was white this wouldn't be an issue

So, you think he's "uppity?"

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Could be he is Black

Could be his eyes are too close together

Some interpret his expressions as insincere... Why?

Could be he is a QB

Could be he doesn't fit the archetype of what a good QB does

Wears 1 on his chest- with a superman persona

Most, at least where I am from, are taught to cut the business out- or else.

Could be because rival fans simply don't like losing to his team


Plenty of potential factors are at play when it comes to Cam.

Going to have to take a few boxes to everyone's SB parties. There's sure to be plenty of haters crying whenever he dances or celebrates or does anything they deem to be douchey.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

They were considered douches for different reasons. First time ever a player is being called a douche because he celebrates when he score touchdowns.

I disagree.

 

[Cincyfan78]

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.

Personally, I like the somoan belly rub:

I don't have a problem with people calling him or anyone else douches for whatever reason they want.

If @Davis_Mike thinks Cam Newton is a douche, that's his right. I think every single player or coach that does that gay dab dance is a gaping asshole - and that is my right.

Yeah, them uppity blacks makes me the most uncomfortable

 

[Jakology]

I guaranfuckingtee if he was your team's QB, you would be dancing right along with him, and you would be pointing out how fucking awesome it is for him to give all the TD balls to kids. And all the good shit he does off the field that nobody talks about. But hey, keep playing double standards. I'm not going to stop you.

That's fuckin hysterical.

Dat's what I'M talkin bout!

It's like trolling on this board: at least be entertaining. Mark Gastineau's sack dance was just bad white dancing at best, roid ragin' at worst.

Alfred Popunu's "crack a coconut" celebration was creative and awesome.

A thread filled with Seahawk and Cardinal fans saying Cam celebrates too much? No way.

try not giving up 31 and 49 points to him next time if you don't like seeing him celebrate so much.

Right. It's not like there are any notable differences between a QB and any other position.

What I don't get is why so many people feel it necessary to criticize people for not liking Cam much less make it a racial issue.

I was being nice and not pointing that out. Thanks man.

Pretty much how I read it

Because they have pathetic reasons for not liking him? It's okay to have opinions, and I respect them. And you're a level headed dude who doesn't bitch about him, so you're cool. This is more aimed towards people who whine and bitch about every little thing he does.

I think you need a tissue, too.


Leave Cam alone!

And if Tom Brady was a Dolphin you would have a fathead of Tom Brady over your bed.

What a remarkable observation. Fans of rival teams tend to be more critical of a player than they are of a player on their own team. Who knew?

Meh you got me. I go to bat and defend players who I like, so I leave myself open to things like that.

 

[sonnyblack65]

I heard what he said on the radio this morn and he was 100% spot on except maybe the " we have never seen a player like him before" Randall Cunningham was the first guy and McNabb was close. He is bigger and tougher to bring down. When we look at the color of a player instead of his talent, it's sad. I'm gonna root for Cam and Carolina because he hasn't and doesn't conform to what others want

I find it modestly annoying but honestly it isn't that big a deal to me. If the Broncos were to stomp him into the ground next Sunday I would probably give a little smile but if they wind up winning, which I think will happen, it won't terribly upset me.
