On October 4th, 2017, Carolina Panther’s quarterback, Cam Newton made eyebrows, yes even unibrows, stand up with his comment made to Jourdan Rodrigue, a reporter with the Charlotte Observer. Rodrigue asked Newton about a simple question about wide receiver Devin Funchess\u2019s route-running. He grinned. Not a nice one either. Then he said, in a slow condescending tone: \u201cIt\u2019s funny to hear a female talk about routes. It\u2019s funny.\u201d Rodrique fired back on Twitter and said, “I don’t think it’s ‘funny’ to be a female and talk about routes. I think it’s my job.” In fact, she chose not to write Newton’s comments after the press conference because “it was worse.” <\/p>\n
It took Newton roughly a day to apologise. <\/p>\n
He even said later, \u201cMy sarcasm, trying to give someone a compliment turned in ways I never would\u2019ve even imagined.\u201d Does that sound like he’s telling the truth or?<\/p>\n
Oikos Yogourt said that they would not be working with Newton and will not be sponsoring anymore. Also, the NFL released a statement saying that his comment was “wrong and disrespectful”<\/p>\n
Now you be the judge. What do you think about what Newton said? Was he telling the truth that it was just sarcasm? Was it just a mistake and he did not mean it? <\/p>\n
