Both top players in their sports they both showboat and talk shite to the other team. But for some reason people love them some Bryce and hate them Cam. Why?

I don't feel like Bryce Harper antagonizes as much as Cam Newton. I really don't have much of a problem with Cam, either, but I do like Bryce Harper a lot more. But I'm a fan of baseball.

Ok dude. Seems you just like to make stuff up to make yourself feel better about yourself.

they both seem like dbags, some of us have more knowledge of cam simply because he played in the sec and we follow football more. on the flip, some of you act as if his pouting at the super bowl was no big deal but that will haunt him and deservedly so for a long time- pitifully poor sportsmanship at the highest level. of course, some of you will defend athletes regardless of what they do.

What excuse. I didnt make an excuse about anything. I said blacks like him because hes black and whites dont like him because hes black and hes a showboat.

Bryce Harper is probably the most hated player in baseball right now (who is not a holdover from the steroid era, so let's exclude A-Rod, whose crimes are over a decade old now)

I am not aware of this world in which Harper is beloved. My brother lives in DC and watches every Nats game and even he hates Bryce Harper (likes how good he is, though).

I acknowledge that cam acts like a fool. and also that if cam did what Bryce did last night (an action that I don't criticize in the slightest) that cam would be crucified on this board.

Haunt him, how?

It's a post game presser, it's not a big deal in the least. The idea that fans care that deeply about it is just weird IMO.

Cam is extremely likable off the field.

On the field he has some bad habits that turn me off.


im still trying to figure out why Harper is hated

Let it go man.

He left Auburn, he was there for one damn year...you were not his first or even second choice, he probably hates ya'll, move on from Cam worship....every Auburn poster who starts a thread is about Cam Newton, no matter the season or time of year.

Here it's baseball...and it's Cam again. Cam this, Cam that.

the idea that you fly into any thread regarding a player being discussed with your super supporter cape is weird to me. is there a player alive you wouldn't defend regardless of the situation?

And what? I know that sounds like me being an a-hole, but it's legit question. Many hated him before, many hated him after. That didn't really change much for him.

Sure, when they do something that actually matters.

hmm, i think it's to be determined on that. football season hasn't even gotten really close to starting back and that was the last taste of him- acting the petulant child that is. my niece (13 so i blame her age) was a big fan of his before the super bowl. hopefully, she's come to her senses by now.

That's why he comes back to Auburn every chance he gets and even came back to finish his degree.
