Why does his Twitter video apology sound like an Al Qaeda recruitment video

Kige, who hijacked your account? Your posts have gotten more and more intelligible I've noticed.



As for Cam, I don't care if he believes what he said or not (and I feel like a lot of guys likely do), but he has to be a certain kind of stupid to think that thought, then actually speak it out loud. At a press conference. Regardless of what he believes, the fact that he doesn't have the mental wherewithal to keep that quiet peaks volumes about his intelligence.

Imagine how strongly he feels or what he's saying when the cameras are not on him if he felt that nonchalant about saying that when everyone else in the world knew that he'd get in trouble for it.

That being said, not excusing it, but I just always assume the NFL locker room is not really going to be the most respectful or PC place in regards to conversations about women.

Especially at the QB position. You have to be more aware. He's the face of the franchise.

This thread is golden with hypocrisy coming from all sides.

You guys hate Beth Mowins calling games, but are white knighting for a beat reporter

We are not an NFL quarterback who is the face of a franchise.

You're retarded if you're trying to seriously make that comparison.

And the beth mowin thing is because she's hideous and has an annoying voice. People bash male PBP guys here all the time. Equal opportunity hate here.

However, it's not wrong to say that most men don't know enough about sports to intelligently discuss the "routes" WRs are running. Anyone being honest should be able to admit that.


This completely misses the point.

It IS an exception for a woman to be able to intelligently and in a detailed way discuss the game. MORE IMPORTANTLY, that shouldn't be viewed negatively because the reason it's rare isn't because women are inferior...it's because women, on average, are less interested in the game.

Do we really have to pretend that it's not rare? Do we really have to pretend that if a woman came up to one of us and started discussing football in a very detailed and informed manner that we wouldn't be impressed?

You clearly don't know what this word means.

Most people in this thread have just been acknowledging how brainless cam was to say this. He's the face of a franchise and should know you can't say that without people making it a big deal.


You can't compare that to anonymous message board posters bashing a PBP chick because her voice is annoying.

While true, it's not an exception for a sports reporter to be able to discuss the game.

But that does not equate to what Cam did, which was basically laughing at the idea of a woman talking routes, it was 100% to mock women or the idea of women talking sports.

Again, not really what Cam did though.

She's a reporter covering the team. I think it's fair to say that she's just as interested in the game as any other reporter covering the team.

She's not some random woman running into cam on the street to talk x's and O's. She's a reporter trying to do her job.

Holy shite hearing black males defend Cam is classic

This is the majority argument I have seen, and Shannon sharp himself made it

quote:

If ALL these people believe Cam was wrong, why aren’t there just as many female head coaches as male coaches in the NFL? I’ll wait


So, how would Shannon feel if an owner said this to a black reporter

"It is funny hearing a black man talk about running a franchise"


I'm sure Shannon would say it's ok since there aren't any black owners......

What a shite show

I love it

I would think that assuming all women of the world are that delicate is rather sexist.

A bunch of virtue signaling horse shite

Going to have to side with black twitter here

The observer wrote 20 articles jubilant over cam losing an endorsement or admonishing over his remark

According to their own standards that reporter is a klansmen...but they are protecting her.

Wouldn't life be better if cam said that and she brushed it off & media liberals didn't circle like buzzards and where jourdan can laugh at harmless racist jokes and everyone is happy

Anyone who hasn't laughed at a racial joke is a fricking liar
