Cam Newton: I'm an African-American QB that scares people because my skill set isn't like anybody else
quote:
Q: Why do you think you've become more of a lightning rod than other athletes?
CN: "I think this is a trick question because if I answer it truthfully, it's going to be, 'Oh, he's this, that.' But I'm going to say it anyway. I don't think people have seen what I am or what I'm trying to do, and I said that prior to me being in this situation. But when I said it then — 'Oh, he's immature. Oh, he's young. He's this, that and the third.' It's like I felt a certain type of way then, I feel the same type of way now. Nothing's pretty much changed. They talk about maturity with me; they talk about skillset with this team. Nobody has changed. It’s been the same Ted Ginn that was drafted by the Miami Dolphins. It’s the same Jericho Cotchery, the same Philly Brown, the same Cam Newton. Nothing’s changed. The only thing has changed is that we’re winning. I said it since Day One: I'm an African-American quarterback that may scare a lot of people because they haven’t seen nothing that they can compare me to. It’s funny, I get inspired — It makes me go out there and practice even harder because I remember when I was working out for the Draft. I would see the Senior Bowl playing and I see these guys out there busting their tails trying to get drafted, try to have a job to provide for their family or themselves. And it’s like, here I am, I’m doing exactly what I want to do, how I want to do it and when I look in the mirror, it’s me. Nobody changed me. Nobody made me act a certain type of way and I’m true to my roots. It feels great, but yet, people are going to say whatever they want to say. And if I’m in this world living for that person — 'Oh, this person is going to say this, this person is going to say that' — then I can’t look at myself and say I’m Cam Newton, or I'm Cameron Newton to most people. Because I’m not because I’m living for you."

This should be fun.

I knew this superbowl would turn into a race baiting event.
Too bad one of its chief participants had to fall for the trap

He's black?
Posted on 1/27/16 at 4:23 pm to undecided
Yeah, well frick him now.....I have never had a real reason to hate on the guy, I acknowledge he's a great player. But playing the race card makes me lose any respect for him I had. Seriously, frick him for eternity

That's not what scares people

I like Cam, but he is wrong. It is his personality not his skill set.
Posted on 1/27/16 at 4:23 pm to MoreOrLes
I mean, he's not really wrong.
its probably a good portion of the ire from the Alabama fan base

Does he mean his penis?

Well when you have so many racists aholes, tweeting the panthers and tagging him, calling him a ni**er it is kind of hard to not fall in the trap

it has everything to do with it
if he sucked, it wouldnt matter
but he's a successful, black, arrogant QB
rubs red necks the wrong way

Yeah I saw some of that the other day. shite's pretty over the top.

don't act like you're the first black quarterback in football history... guys like Cunningham, Moon, Culpepper paved the way
Posted on 1/27/16 at 4:27 pm to undecided
I actually like Cam, I far rather have some dude showing off then some dude stating fights. But, he's wrong on this one
Posted on 1/27/16 at 4:27 pm to undecided
here we go
