Grow Up, Cam!, LIVINGSTON, February 9, 2016 - So let me get this straight, Cam Newton, NFL starting quarterback for the Carolina Panthers, MVP of the 2015 season, paid millions and millions of dollars for playing a game, has a major city singing his praises, taunts his opponents when he makes a touchdown by "dabbing" and proclaiming himself to be superman, sits like a petulant pouting little child during a press conference after losing, and then, like a little brat, walks out. Really? Are you kidding me? Don't get mad at me. Cam Newton is the guy who proclaimed himself to be superman. Cam Newton is the guy, who, when he angered his opponents with his taunting stated "Well, keep me out of the end zone if you don't want me to dabb".
Oh, Cam was just so nice to reporters when the Panthers won their games. He had no problem dancing (dabbing) and simulating that he's superman by pretending to rip his suit off exposing his "S" (for superman) on his chest. All of America saw that Cam Newton. So when the Panthers met the Denver Broncos in Superbowl 50 and superman was sacked six times, fumbled the ball multiple times, kept out of the end zone, and ultimately soundly whipped, suddenly turns into a snibbly runny nose little brat when things don't go his way. Wow. Some superman.
Being the 2015 MVP, Cam Newton is the face of the NFL. He's the face of the Carolina Panthers and the leader of that team. When asked by a reporter about the Broncos, Newton stated that they did nothing special they were nothing great. Really? Sacked superman six times and soundly beat his offense and he can't be classy enough to give the Broncos credit for playing a great game? Ya know, Cam Newton is a perfect example why so many people are sick and tired of professional sports and all the whining that these spoiled millionaires do. They come straight out of college, unproven in the NFL and have the audacity to hold out in their rookie season and hurt their own team until they get the millions that they demand (like instead of 5 million, they'll just hold out until they get 7 million). Folks who actually live in the real world and pay the sky rocketing ticket prices, pay to come watch these self absorbed spoiled brats who know nothing about loyalty. For the halftime show of the Superbowl they show "Beyonce" dancing in another boring, same old, synchronized dancers thing who were dressed up as black panthers (for the new black panther party). Who's responsible for approving this stuff? Is sports a reflection of who we are as a society? Is Cam Newton's pouty little pity party and temper tantrum just a microcosm of the future of the USA? I hate to say it, but given all the whining about every little thing that students find offensive nowadays in colleges, it appears that we're in trouble. America is being dumbed down and completely sissified. More and more men are acting feminine. Pop music sung by men is now feminine. The major media outlets today don't even try to hid their OBVIOUS leftist ways and liberal biasness. I worry about the world that's being left for our grandkids. There's so much serious stuff going on in the rest of the world right now that's a direct threat to us. This is no time for our young men to be sissies. Hey Cam, why not man up and answer the reporters' questions like the other quarterbacks and players have done when they lost superbowls? Sure, it's not fun, but showing class in losing says a lot more about a person's character than "dabbing" and acting like superman when winning.
