Cam Newton under fire for latest comments about women


There’s never an appropriate time to believe in nor express disrespectful, antiquated views about any person or persons—no matter their race, color, origin, religion, or gender. So the latest words to come from the mouth of Cam Newton, who already has a history of making degrading comments about women and is still currently a free agent, are particularly ill-advised, embarrassing and shameful.

The 32-year-old joined this past Sunday’s episode of the Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast, where he got into the topic of gender roles. While discussing what he looks for in a strong woman, Newton sounded like he jumped straight out from the 1950s.

Back in 2017, the Carolina Panthers quarterback made a dismissive remark towards Jourdan Rodrigue—who covered the team beat for The Charlotte Observer at the time. When Rodrigue specifically inquired about wide receiver Devin Funchess’ route-running, Newton seemed rather surprised of her knowledge.

“It’s funny to hear a female talk about routes,” he said with a smile. “It’s just funny.”

Newton, additionally, did not finish his talk without giving out some flack to the opposite sex as well.

“I’m not just about to sit up here and beat up my queens,” he’d then say. “I’m also going to tell the men to start being men, bro. That sucker (expletive) should not be rewarded. You know, when a person carries himself social media-wise and it’s a fraud in real life. Every person that’s got money, every person who’s rich isn’t a real one. I think that kind of gets misconstrued in this society now because a lot of people have money, but they’re not genuine people.”

Regardless, suggesting women should know how to cook and when to “be quiet” just isn’t it. And, as a result, he hasn’t gotten the greatest of reviews for his appearance.

The irony behind Cam’s comments is that he should’ve been the one, rather, to know when to be quiet.
