Someone forgot to tell Cam that there are actually women sports reporters in America these days.Some of them even do a better job of covering their respective sports than the men do. And Cam needs to remember how this kind of thinking sounded when years ago old white men were questioning whether African Americans had the mental capacity to play quarterback in the NFL. Know your history young fella.
Still, having said all of that, you have to wonder if there is a little overkill going on here. I mean an NFL quarterback makes a dumb comment about the opposite sex. Put me in the camp of not being surprised. Dannon yogurt actually cut ties with Newton.
"We are shocked and disheartened at the behavior and comments of Cam Newton towards Jourdan Rodrigue, which we perceive as sexist and disparaging to all women," Michael Neuwirth, senior director of external communications for Dannon, said in a statement."
Hmmm, a lot of women eat yogurt so I guess you could say that this was a business decision.
But you have to wonder when we have a man who got elected after telling the nation that he likes to "grab em [women] by the pussy", why we are so up in arms about this particular sexist outburst. I happen to have my own ideas as to why this is such a big thing, and it has nothing to do with Newton's poor quarterback play of late.
trump's supporters like to say that his "grab em by the pussy" talk was just locker room banter. Just a couple of guys being guys. The irony is that Newton made his comments from an actual locker room.
Anyway America, quite a lot of you embraced a man who did and said things that are far more egregious when it comes to women, and yet, here you are pointing fingers at Newton.
Let's be clear, Cam needs to get a serious talking to about the fairer sex. It's just that some of you shouldn't be doing the talking.

I'm not watching football these days and despise yogurt, but I wonder if Dannon took this opportunity with Cam's sexist comment to the woman sports writer to fire him for a reason other than sexism. Maybe the yogurt company didn't want a kneeler and person who raises a black power fist during the anthem representing their brand?
Mr. Field, like Cam, none of us are perfect and deserve to be corrected as appropriate. But it is total insanity to publically chastise individuals for offensive comments, when we endure a pussy grabber in chief moron as pResident. When Dotard45 has any standard to which he is accountable, then maybe ...
Cam who?
punishing him for that Black Power fist raise after TD.
Looks like the president's own cabinet doesn't believe he's playing 4D chess. I might have to agree with Tilly.
Too bad his boss Putin won't let him fire Tillerson so the donald has to sit there and take his insults. So sad.
There's a special about Jessica Chambers Saturday on CNN. Now maybe pussy ass Lt. Commander No-Johnson can stop bitching like a girl on her period.
I'd have to say Dannon's withdrawal of his endorsement deal was aimed more at offended people from the Clinton-voting section of the electorate than at Team Trump.
Not all, but some, of the Trump supporters probably cheered when Cam suggested girls can't be sports reporters and she needed to sit the hell down and shut up. Hooray! Back to the good ole days, when women knew to keep their noses out of manly stuff. Cam Newton is Making America Great Again!
Of course, they were probably also really conflicted about siding with Cam, on account of him being a black NFL player, a group whom they are supposed to be boycotting right about now for their alleged lack of patriotism. Cognitive dissonance, they call it.
No one cares what these dumb niggers say anymore. World War III is about to start.
I know there are women who are knowledgeable about football but Cam doesn't bother me at all. He is used to coaches and players talking about passing routes. Yes, it is worse when a president says stupid things and sets bad examples, but remember what the O Jays said about people who smile in your face. Bill Clinton has a full Wikipedia page of his sexual misconduct allegations. People lost their homes because he repealed Glass Steagall. They lost their jobs because he passed NAFTA. We are fascist because of his Telecommunications Act.
So right now I am more concerned about Trump playing politics with the Iran deal. He has Iran derangement syndrome. Like General Flynn,Trump has always been a hawk on Iran, even though they were both against intervention in Syria. Still, Trump bombed Syria without waiting for an investigation of the gas attack, and he shot down a Syrian plane to protect American troops embedded with ISIS, before he ended our covert support of ISIS in Syria. Guess which two events our media applauded and which one they condemned as Trump doing Putin's bidding? CNN even went as far as to say Trump shot down the plane to protect "anti Assad forces" who were FIGHTING ISIS! There is also a proposal in congress to stop helping Saudis kill people in Yemen.
Send in the Newtons.
White Olympic Gold Medalist Ryan Lochte breaks the law, COMMITS A CRIME, vandalizes a gas station, lies about it, disrespects a whole country and gains million dollar endorsements afterward.
Black athlete uses the word "female" in an innocent statement and he's black listed and loses a million dollar endorsement.
There's a double standard here...NO DOUBT.
When you're black...step back...but when you're white everything's all right.
Just another day in RACIST AMERICA.
Black Men...Need to Unite.
It was a stupid question from a person who had no idea what she was asking. "Embrace the physicality of his routes".
Another Affirmative Action disaster. Very few women very belong anywhere near sports journalism, particularly sports like football.
Good for Cam Newton.
Drumpfuck or Newton?
The answer's plain to see
Pretty obvious pigmentally
Neither one's too bright
Benefits to the White
Both broke many rules to get where they are today. Newton's rise involved basically illegal monies if memory serves.
POTUS colludes with Russians to win the American election
POTUS disrespects and denounces a decorated US war hero with cancer
POTUS speed disparagingly about people of color
POTUS refers to his daughter as "piece of ass" and speaks of women in a crude manner.
POTUS says he wants to grab women by their "p _ _ _ y"
POTUS says Puerto Ricans are draining his budget
POTUS says Neo Nazis, white supremacists, and KKK are good people
POTUS insults and resorts to name calling of leaders of foreign countries
...When will he lose endorsements?
allegations Limpaw. HRC has thirty years of unfounded allegations against her people like you use to claim she is crooked. Drumpf has a lifetime of court cases where he paid massive amounts of money to victims then claims he is not guilty.
As for WJC, how many of those allegations had merit? My last count was about 10% of the Paula Jones case had merit. I believe WJC actually met her one time. The rest of her case was laughed out of court. Clinton didn't rape anyone. She signed two affidavits claiming the supposed rape never occurred. Slick Willie never fathered any black children, he didn't run guns and drugs through Mena, Ark airstrip for the CIA as guv of Ark. He wasn't even the second Kennedy assassin on the grassy knoll in Dallas, 1963. Neither Clinton suicided Vince foster in any of the five special investigations.
Try harder.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
All lies and distortion.
Fuck you, bitch.
"White Olympic Gold Medalist Ryan Lochte breaks the law, COMMITS A CRIME, vandalizes a gas station, lies about it, disrespects a whole country and gains million dollar endorsements afterward."
Actually, he lost all his million dollar endorsements, dumbass. And the country was subjected to a media barrage over it.
Meanwhile, black athlete Michael Bennett does practically the same thing TWO WEEKS AGO and he has caught little flak over it. There was hardly a peep in the media about it.
Yesterday morning the sports media united in praise and sympathy for Seattle Seahawk defensive end Michael Bennett when he tweeted out a story which claimed police had singled him out, pointed their guns at him, threatened to blow his brains out, and detained him in the back of a police car for “doing nothing more than simply being a black man in the wrong place at the wrong time.”
Bennett alleged that police had responded to reports of shots fired at a Las Vegas casino and while they were responding to reports of an active shooter he alleged they decided to racially profile Bennett and detain and handcuff him because he was a black man.
Bennett was quickly crowned a victim/hero by sports media, but then a video came out.
Near the end of the video you can see Michael Bennett, crouching behind a slot machine inside the casino, appearing to hide from police. When the police approached him because he appeared suspicious hiding there, he jumped up and ran away from them, refusing commands to stop, leaping a wall, and attempting to escape from them before being caught and detained.
Oh snap.
He wasn't singled out for being black, almost everyone in that crowd was black.
He was acting very suspiciously.
None of the arresting officers were white.
Michael Bennett lied about the whole thing to try to turn it into a story of racial oppression.
What a piece of shit.
Link on Michael Bennett story:
https://www.outkickthecoverage.com/michael-bennett-lying/
Like most blacks in Bennett's position the thought of being murdered by cop while unarmed had to be going through his head. I would have run had I been in his shoes.
I watched the videotape and was pretty underwhelmed at the lack of resistance from Bennett. Of course, asking the wrong cop the wrong question can bring any manner of charges against a black defendant. Prolly get his/her head caved in and multiple drain holes in their back if they don't kowtow to Massa Cop's every command.
He wasn't singled out for being black, almost everyone in that crowd was black.
How many whites were arrested?
I think I have located Baldingo. Running fer office and ranting about POC. Read his profile. He is very white, something, something and an inventor. Yup that is Baldingo.

@11:28, white privilege.
- I had to look up what Newton actually said, because I didn't know; I found this:
Charlotte Observer beat reporter Jourdan Rodrigue asked Newton during Wednesday's news conference about wide receiver Devin Funchess embracing the physicality of routes and if Newton got enjoyment out of that.
Newton responded, "It's funny to hear a female talk about routes like -- it's funny.''
- THAT is what has people all outraged...?
- Seriously, most women/girls/females ((no matter which term one uses, one will take flak for it)) *don'* know about routes and so on; she might have been the first woman Cam met who did. And maybe it just tickled him. People do not all react in the same exact identical way.
- What bugs me is that nobody ever bothered to ask him what he meant, or why he thought it was funny - nobody ever *thought* to give the benefit of the doubt.
-
- What I find to be far more disturbing than his comment is the fact that most Americans now seem to be twitchy bundles of "outrage" looking for an excuse, any excuse, to fly into fits of rabid anger.
-
- This "issue" has damn little to do with what Cam said or what he meant or didn't mean - what it IS about is the fact that too many people these days are existing in a continual state of rage and walking around with hair-trigger tempers, ready to explode and fight about anything, however trivial and inconsequential, all in the hubris-soaked name of preexisting, unexamined, and usually baseless "opinion". Meanwhile, the things that *do* matter are allowed to languish, ignored and unaddressed.
-
- This is what people fritter away their lives on ((as if they're going to live forever)), and then they take it even further down the proverbial rabbit-hole and egocentrically insist that the rest of us are all supposed to pretend that this is how "smart" people behave.

" Some of Lochte's Endorsement Rewards After He Broke The Law."
Lochte lost a million dollars in endorsements in the immediate wake of his shenanigans in Rio.
So your point is that he should be punished forever, for causing, like, $20 in damage to a gas station? And "defaming" Rio by telling a tall tale that inadvertently implied the city is a crime-filled, corrupt hellhole?
In fact, Rio very much IS a crime-filled, corrupt hellhole, so it's rather hard to argue they were defamed in any way. Lochte's story about a shakedown by a crooked cop was fraudulent, but Rio's crooked cops do shake people down all the time in real life.
And I feel like it's completely safe to say that in 2017, most people consider unapologetic sexism (Newton) to be far worse than a night of drunken vandalism (Lochte).
The President isn't a perfect human. Name a president that was perfect. Trump has skeletons. Tons of them. So did Hillary.
HRC isn't Potus, although w/o Russia's help she would be. And it still would not make any of the salacious accusations and flat out lies about her true.
Accusations against Drumpfuck have been proven. Wingnuts either don't believe they are true or accept they are true and couldn't care less.
Trump did and said some very f+++ed up s**t in his youth.
You never said or did anything you would consider f+++ed up s**t in your youth?
Thank god I wasn't famous and twitter, facebook, instagram weren't around when I was young. I shudder to think about my exploits and impact on my employment if they were.
Some people must have been monks or so old they forgot about their youth.

- It's tribalism in its worst, most simpleminded form:
"Our side good, your side evil."
With extremists, the moment one says *anything*, however minor, which departs from the extremist narrative, an immediate pronouncement is made that one is "on the other side". And once that pronouncement has been made, there is no quarter given, no listening, no discussion --- narcissistic hatred takes over.
- There are more right-wing extremists in the US than left-wing ones, and always have been, so most often here, the declarations that one is "an enemy" are made when one supports "stoopid fascistocommie antiamurikun" things like equal constitutional rights for all citizens.

Fucking wingnuts like Horny Hyde, dumbass dubya and a whole host of others childhoods lasted well into their 40's.
Wingnut Hyde fathered a child out of wedlock in his 40's and then claimed the statute of limitations on his childhood ran out.
Dumbass dubya sez he done things (like alcoholism into his 40's) when he was young and dumb that were young and dumb.
Did the official report of shooting say the shooter was a "black" man? Cops say the force used to restrain Bennett was acceptable. To whom? Them? The cops that get away with shooting unarmed blacks as acceptable force?
All whitey wingnuts that whine here claim Blacks and Hispanics don't get along so it was reasonable for Bennett to think the 2 Hispanic cops might shoot him and declare they were afraid for their lives. End of story.
