Steve Smith believes race a role in why Cam Newton is polarizing

"I think it has to do with a little bit of arrogance and also, I hate to say it this way, possibly the color of your skin playing quarterback," Smith said Thursday on "The Dan Patrick Show." "I think it does."
quote:
Smith pointed to the reaction Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman received for his emotional postgame interview two years ago as an example of how black athletes can be inappropriately labeled.
"Automatically people started calling him a thug," Smith said. "They don't call Aaron Rodgers [a] thug. They don't call other guys of other colors thugs, but as soon as an African-American athlete does it, they say, 'thug.' "

Deshaun Watson is one of the best college qbs ever. He's black and athletic as hell and no one seems to hate him but South Carolina fans for rivalry reasons only but poor Cam just can't get no love from Whitey. It has to be backwards people and not anything Cam has ever done.
Being the first black QB in the NFL and Superbwl is really hard on poor Cam.

People hate arrogance of any color.

Can we just start ignoring race again? Like, I don't even give a shite anymore.

I must be forgetting that time Aaron Rodgers was arrested for stealing shite and kicked out of Berkeley.

Russell Wilson never had any of these issues and he's been to 2 Super Bowls already and won 1.
It completely falls on the shoulders of how Cam Newton conducts himself.

People don't like douchebags except for their own douchebags.
Period. End of story.

Don't start throwing Wilson into this. He's not "black enough".

It comes down to jealousy.

Whatever dipshit I didn't say that.
But Cam is disliked because of his actions. Simple as that. He was disliked in college and Watson is not. So that tells you it is how he does things that piss people off.
Watson isn't towing any line either you rascist prick. He just has class.
BTW, I'm black and people like Cam make shite worse because they can't be happy with the progress already made. There is always more progess needed but it doesn't mean we haven't come a long way.
Cam is a pussy. Barely over 40 years ago my ancestors were being attacked by dogs on college campuses and this little bitch doesn't like how some people on twitter don't like him.
He wouldn't have made it through the 50s and 60s, he's a pampered little puss.
Jimi Hendrix was once stopped going into an arena to perform at his own show by police because he was walking in with a white woman around 1968. The police said, "That boy ain't coming in here with a white girl!"
Jimi's crew argued and sought to have this policeman removed from the venue. Jimi said, "No! It's okay! She can leave now. 50 years ago they wouldn't have let me in here. 50 years from now it won't matter."
We need more brother like Jimi and MLK and less like Cam and Kanye.

Eh except Cam actually broke a law and got kicked out of UF? And people don't even give a shite about that.
People don't like Cam because he's an insufferable douchebag.
