NFL Shocker .... Cam Newton Steps in It

[bshole]

He lost his sponsorship from Dannon Yogurt, It remains to be seen how many more drop him.

What he said to a female reporter:

"I know you take a lot of pride in seeing your receivers play well," Rodrigue said. "Devin Funchess has really seemed to embrace the physicality of his routes and getting those extra yards, does that give you a little bit of enjoyment to see him kind of truck-sticking people out there?"

Without rehashing the whole thing, that's just a good question for a midweek press conference from a local reporter who has been covering Newton for over a year. Newton responded like a jerk.

"It's funny to hear a female talk about routes like that," Newton said. "It's funny."

Should he be allowed to keep his job or should he be permabanned from the NFL?

Is that all he said though?

A football player's job is to risk obtaining and inflicting permanent brain damage for brainless plebian entertainment. They are modern day gladiators, except they do it voluntarily for money. Expecting them to be role models is kind of silly.

 

[Capt Caveman]

Old news. He already apologized and nothing else is going to happen to him.

Side note: every time a man refers to a woman as "a female" I hear it in a Ferengi voice ("feeeeeeemale"), like he sees women as a different species. They're women. People. Not ants in a lab.

Permabanned? Put it in context. People have beaten their wives and gotten to keep playing. It was a dumb comment but on the sexism scale only 2/10. There are a couple of times I have been caught unawares by a lady's knowledge of a topic and was totally surprised. I wouldn't have been as dumb as he was in saying what he was thinking at a news conference but he completely answered her question in a highly respectful manner outside of the initial dumb sentence.

You know why the NHL doesn't bother with this bullshit drama but NFL and WWE do?

It's because hockey is an actual sport.

Man up, boys, get with a real game.

Lolz it is def funny to watch old white men cling to the white hockey league (WHL?) like its gold now.

If it werent for the hits and fights it'd be right up there with soccer.

The irony is this is the exact argument people have been making against players expressing themselves by kneeling.

And what Newton said was stupid. Shaming deserved.

 

[BoomerD]

No shocker. Cam Newton thinks he's SuperCam...and better than other people.

Except for the fucked part. No nooky for our god.

word on the street is that he prefers women with a few miles on them. just sayin'

 

[UglyCasanova]

I don’t agree with Cam and definitely do see this as sexist but the NFL seems to be trying to dig their own grave. I have no dea who’s good this year but can tell you all about the politics.

 

[Capt Caveman]

Threw for 355 yards and 3 TDs for a win. Yup, he's really going to be banned/permabanned.

It is odd that on field performance should influence decisions made on morality. Out of curiosity, is there anything a player could say that would result in you in supporting their ban? I realize that this instance wouldn't do it for you. What if Aaron Rodgers said something overtly racist? Should NFL players (unlike almost every other employee) literally say anything and be allowed to keep their job? AS an example, a google employee just lost his job for the same kind of comments about women.

Son, *pats on shoulder*, I get it, you like your fancy kevlar equipped to look five times as big rugby players... They give you that stiffy you long for...

But in reality, it's not a sport at all, it's a play pretend rugby game with armour not to get hurt... that's all this little game is and it's boring as fucking hell, everyone is walking about... throws ball, catches ball, is down and more walking around.

A hockey game is where it is at and it's fun to watch, it's real sports, it's fast and it's skill based rather than "hurr" based.

And soccer? You mean football, well that is the biggest sport on earth, a small game has a bigger number of people watching it than the NFL "world retard season".

It's a game played by Americans and sissies in other nations that are not fit to play rugby. Next up, rounders for men. WHY?

By todays standards Cam is exhibiting Presidential moxie

BIG Canucks fan and while i don't mind the roughing, it's just an idiocy that some retards have to have for some reason and almost always staged, you can see them signing that it's "on"... For me it's about the game... and in the end, knocking two guys out and losing is still losing.

In hockey the skill of the team is what matters, it doesn't matter how physically able you are, if you have actual players, you can do anything.

Mats Sundin who was a big motherfucker that never fought knew that the only thing that mattered was how good you were at getting the puck into the net and he was probably one of the best players who have ever existed counting his whole career, he could lift a team and turn it around by just being himself.

Typical phony liberal mentality, role models when it's in their "politically correct" favor, throw the woman under the bus when it isn't.

 

[trenchfoot]

Pro football, one of the few bastions of male dominance and machismo that has not been "contaminated" by women.....yet. So from this frame of reference and from the shelter and insulation it provides, this guy speaking his mind in that way (among other factors) is something that I would think is an accepted and generally held notion of the culture they live in.

Like many other cultures, there are perfectly acceptable things to say within the culture and a horrible thing to say the same thing outside of it.

Comparable to the culture at FOX you say? In some ways yeah, in others absolutely not.

AS an example, a google employee just lost his job for the same kind of comments about women.

The point was that he didn't lose his job, get banned, fined or penalized. He apologized and is known to be immature. Being racist and immature are two different things. He has two daughters and knows now what he said was stupid. None of your examples are good. And what he said is not the same as the Google employee.

 

[Victorian Gray]

One might note that he never apologized directly to the reporter in question, didn't even mention her name in his 'apology'. Then he later tried to blame it all on a misdirected use of sarcasm when he was actually trying to make a compliment to the reporter. This, while trying to pull off a badly thought out pr stunt involving Rosie the Riveter.

Business as usual.
