Link: Cam Newton being sexist? Loses yogurt sponsor

Re: Cam Newton being sexist? Losses yogurt sponsor

I saw a news article about this on Facebook and a lot of people were defending him and said she was being sensitive.

I guess if I said I thought it was funny to see a black guy play quarterback then they would defend me as well.

You're not wrong. Gotta be smarter than that. Just answer the question and move on.

This is "funny" given that the advertising industry exploits stereotypical gender roles almost constantly.

He apparently didn't apologize when she went up to him after the press conference. What he said was dumb and sexist and I'm glad he's been called out for it. Mildly surprised by how loud his defenders have been.

That would be a fair point if there weren’t already blacks playing qb. I see his point, however, he shouldn’t have said that. She was doing her job.

Re: Cam Newton being sexist? Losses yogurt sponsor

I could listen for hours to Cam Newton, or any other professional quarterback, talk about how he plays his position -- in-play thought processes, reading defenses, strategies to set up a later play by running another one early, etc. etc. It's absolutely fascinating.

But can someone remind me why I should care anything at all about his, or any other QB's, opinions on any other subject?

Actually they go out of their way to make guys look like morons and women look in control of the situation.

He meant it in a derogatory manner. When he "apologized" he said he meant to say reporter, not female. In other words, he "meant" that it was funny to hear a reporter talk about routes.

Look, I am not a fan of Cam at all...but this is silly. I wouldn't call it sexist. Hey, I surprise a lot of men when I talk football with them. I don't see the big deal with this.

She's a sports reporter. It is literally her job to understand the sport she is covering.
 
Re: Cam Newton being sexist? Losses yogurt sponsor

I know that. Honestly, I think it was just Cam being Cam and not really articulating what he meant.
I mean. She allegedly approached him afterward and he refused to apologize. Assuming that's true then it doesn't matter if he articulated poorly. Even if he had apologized it was dumb and rude. Also, what else could he have possibly been trying to articulate?

She also claims he didn't even know who she was. She's worked for the Charlotte Observer as the Panthers beat writer for the last year. She's literally covered the team every day since last October, and he didn't know who she was.
