Cam Newton: 'I'm an African-American QB that scares people'

[Kat]

I didn't realize there was a face to the NFL. Faces of the greats maybe....and there have been many.

Michael Jordan lebron Kobe were the face of the NBA. Last white was Larry bird.

Look who gets the most endorsements. I'm expecting cam to be like Ali or tiger or Serena. I hope he wins Sunday. The young cocky stud vs old school.

No clue.

They were talking about this on sports radio Detroit. Whether you hate him or love him he is interesting and good.

I heard he broke Payton's rookie record. People like to say he's not that good even tough he only lost 1 game. At one point Carolina was the worst team that was still undefeated.

I'm a good judge of if someone's a jerk. Cams not a jerk. He's charismatic and outspoken and that threatens some people.

I 100% agree he is good. I watched him in college and he was great. I am not a huge fan of show boating...unless a group of players do it. Then it is not just to draw attention to yourself.

I have known about Newton for a long time.

He is VERY good, and I think Carolina will be winning the SB.

Having said that....since I watched him closely in college....while he was at Florida, (before Auburn), he stole a laptop. (from the school library if I am not mistaken). And he was caught in the act. For me that lowers character to be caught climbing out of the window while stealing something. He was. He was run off by Florida.

Then there is the matter of the $180,000 that the NCAA was after him for. It was filtered through his dad's church.
I am sorry, but at least then, he was a scammer.

But, I don't hate him. I don't trust his motives though.
I hope he has changed. He has a new baby to influence now. That is more important IMO than any football game....and hey...I LOVE football.

A. I did some crazy stupid maybe even criminal stuff back in college I'm not proud of. People grow up.

B. And I don't hate anyone taking money. I'd take it too.

C. He's very young and very good. I don't mind if one guy celebrates unless you are losing the stfu until you are winning.

D. My nephew barely beat me at video basketball. I was winning the entire game and the computer helped him in the end. But he talked shit the entire game. It's only annoying if you lose. I was pissed. If you hate cam maybe he celebrated too much against your team then I can see not liking him. I didn't root for Jordan or Kobe or Brady either but I respect their greatness.

Never said I hated him. Not once.
I did say he is sooooooooo good looking.
I wouldn't want a thief stealing anything of mine..and it was not that long ago..........of course now he has the money.
Isn't quite fair for other athletes that play by the rules and do not take money.........not to mention it can get the school in trouble.

OK..you have digressed to full blown moron. Color obviously matters more to you than just about any contributor on this MB. Too bad about the slavery thingy. It ruined the blacks. Bad luck eh? Color only matters to most whites when it comes to keeping their families and property safe and intact. You can rave on about how whites have no justification for keeping an extra eye on blacks but most violent crime in the USA is black on black so if I was you I would take the whites lead and slap an extra dead bolt on my front and rear doors.

I only keep an eye on white people. Your history has shown you can not be trusted and you still lack the basic tenets of humanity as a race. Once Black people stop thinking a few sane whites means all whites are great they will understand what your foul race has done. Whites have a justification for keeping an eye on Blacks. You are fearful that you are going to get what your ancestors deserved.

Fear you? That's a laugh. Thanks for that... there really isn't enough humor to go around.

You see Sport...you ARE inferior and you know it. The difference between you and I is that the 60" TV screen on your wall was purchased a dime on the dollar from some POS that stole it. I haven't bought stolen property in all my years. I will not support scum...you do it gladly like you are getting over on somebody. What THAT proves is that you are stupid and have no character. That means you make mistakes..practically every day.

Fear you? Right. I see people like you every day. Some have tested me and they are gone and I am still here.
The only thing I fear is losing those close to me. That hurts. I lost my favorite Pit last summer. That was rough. Fortunately I live right next to the largest cemetery in Seattle. That makes burying the departed properly very convenient. My dog Dre received a proper funeral...as good as any dog could hope for. The digging the grave was the hard part but that offers the homeless transients an opportunity to make a few bucks.

I admire blacks that overcome the shit they come from and rise up with good character and clean consciences and live their lives with enduring dignity. Then there are those like you, simpletons that need to bolster their shallow lives by blaming others for the shit lives they occupy. Fear you? All good white people and the handful of decent black folks need to do is be prepared to put scum down like the rabid dogs that they are so as to not be in jeopardy for taking out the trash. You go ahead on and keep trying to convince yourself that decent people must fear you. They don't.

Now run along and please do turn down the volume on your amplifiers blaring that stupid noise you entertain yourself with. You know what IS funny...When Will Smith whined that the Grammy's wouldn't feature your dumb ass rap on TV. Now THAT's one stupid N****R. I bet you call that steaming sack of shit music also. Fear you? How on earth could anyone fear someone that listens to rap and hip hop? Me? I do appreciate the warning from several blocks away that an extremely stupid individual is headed my way. Thanks for that.

Now...back to football. I am looking forward to Scam Newton making a clown out of himself in the SB. His ridiculous moronic hubris will set back respect for the angry young black athletes on a very large stage. Good for him...good for you. You do like the smell of ass though don't you. Me? Not so much.

I didnt read all of your post because its obviously a fear fueled rant. Without realizing it you have proved exactly what I am speaking about. Youre afraid. White boys like you make me laugh.

I get it that the truth hurts. The REAL reason you claim to comment on something you didn't read. I'm not a child or like you endowed with a child-like mind. I owned a music concert production company 69-73 bringing all the top black R&B and rock acts to Seattle. I interacted with the black community, hired the Black Panthers for security and so on. Earth Wind and Fire, Sly and The Family Stone and many others played on my stages. I came into close contact with more black people in my life of 66 years than you as a black EVER did. So Suck It!

I'm the only white guy EVER to hang out in a Black Panther safe house. You would have never made it through the door.

There is no need to try and impress me. I dont believe you no matter how hard you try. Give it a rest.

A friend of mine Maurice White died yesterday. I was the first promoter to bring him to Seattle back in 72. His and EW&F's second gig for me was to play for the troops at Fort Lewis. Not many people showed up and the band still played their hearts out. As the bus and trailer was packed and about to head back South to SF Maurice turned to me and said "Sean, I don't expect you to pay us for this last performance. We didn't draw flies." I had contracted him $4,000 to play the gig. I reached in my suit pocket and handed him the 4 G's and said "Mo, you guys played great. You deserve what we talked about" The man just silently stood there with tears running down his cheeks. The Band was dead broke and talking about going their separate ways. I would like to think that my honesty in spite of a sizable personal loss helped to keep them together.

If that "impresses" you then good...it should. Helping keep Earth Wind and Fire together was a good thing.

Cam is the modern Jackie Robinson and can expect white people to be angry at him finally breaking the white NFL monopoly

He isn't breaking a white monopoly. We had Doug Williams break the barrier. The last two years we have had Wilson in the Super Bowl. Cam is just another NFL quarterback that will be great or fizzle. I'm thinking a great QB.

Wilson was never the face of the NFL. In fact despite how black the NFL is its always white quarterbacks. It wasn't Jerry rice it was Joe Montana.

It wasn't Ray Lewis or Barry Sanders or emmit Smith. It's always the Manning's bradys and Aaron Rodgers.

Cam should be the new face of the NFL. He's fantastic. Love his attitude. Only haters hate.

Could be said OJ Simpson was the face of the NFL in the early to mid 70s. He was on lots of commercials. All of us wanted to be OJ running through defenses. Walter Peyton could have been the face of the NFL after OJ Simpson.

I'm not sure what the face of the NFL is.

What hate?

Oh you know. The hate toward white people. Or at least toward 85% of them.

I dont hate 85% of white people. I only hate the ones that actively harm Blacks. The ones that are passively racist dont really concern me.

Jerry West remains the face of the NBA. Thats why they call him "The Logo".

Panthers quarterback Cam Newton suggested for the first time Wednesday that race may play a factor in why he's become a lightning rod for public criticism.
''I'm an African-American quarterback that scares people because they haven't seen nothing that they can compare me to,'' said the 6-foot-5, 245-pound Newton.
The No. 1 pick in the 2011 NFL draft out of Auburn, Newton has his share of detractors who either don't like how he plays, his celebrations or his abundance of self-confidence.\
Newton, a leading league MVP candidate putting up record-breaking numbers, said he learned a long time ago that he can't please everyone.
''People are going to judge, and have opinions on things I don't have control over,'' Newton said.
The stout and speedy Newton is beating teams with his arm and his legs, throwing for 35 touchdowns and running for 10 this season. He has helped lead the Panthers (17-1) to their first Super Bowl since 2003. Carolina plays the AFC champion Denver Broncos on Feb. 7 in Santa Clara, California.




Newton: I'm black QB that scares people



Huh?? That doesn't even make sense.

He is as good looking as he can be, and he is a very good q/b, but I never once thought of his color. I don't get why that has to be brought into everything now days.

The thing that is scary is that he is going up in front of national media after being in college and forming sentences in that manner.

How did you like his attitude after losing the SB? No grace or leadership. He acted like a petulant child. One word answers and got up and walked out. THAT is part of why some people dislike him.

From his reaction to the fumble in the 4th Quarter, he is also a scared African American Quarterback.

Cam Newton's antics in Super Bowl 50 loss fuel criticism

He is an incredible talent and will be the favorite to win the SB for a number of years to come, but he needs to stop reading press releases on how great he is and do a little more growing up.

Winning with dignity is one thing. But a star should also know how to lose with dignity. It doesn't mean you like losing. Just show some respect.
