Nobody wants to talk about Cam?

Post by Kress »

I mean, there usually is no need to do so, but c'mon.



NFL star Cam Newton came under fire on social media Monday for comments he made about women.

Newton appeared on the "Million Dollaz Worth of Game" podcast on Sunday. The veteran quarterback was asked about his upbringing toward the beginning of the show, and he started to talk about his family and how he was raised by the "perfect example of what a man was" in his father.

"My parents had been together for 36, 37 years now, and it’s a beautiful thing. I grew up in a three-parent household — my mom, my father and my grandmother. And I knew what a woman was. Not a bad bitch. A woman," Newton said, adding that to him a "bad bitch" was a person who "looked the part" but didn’t "act the part."

"And it’s a lot of women who are bad bitches and I say ‘bitches’ in a way not to degrade a woman but just to go off the aesthetic of what they deem as a ‘boss chick.’ A woman for me is handling your own but knowing how to cater to a man’s needs. I think a lot of times when you get that aesthetic of like ‘I’m a boss bitch, I’m a this, I’m a that,’ no baby. But you can’t cook. You don’t know when to be quiet. You don’t know how to allow a man to lead."

Newton said he didn’t want to sit behind the mic and criticize women but wanted the "men to start being men."

"That sucka shit should not be rewarded," he said. "When a person carries himself, social media wise, and it’s a fraud in real life. Every person who got money, every person who’s rich isn’t a real one, and I think that kinda gets misconstrued in this society now because a lot of people have money, but they’re not genuine people."

Newton is currently an unrestricted free agent. He re-joined the Carolina Panthers in the middle of the 2021 season after a few injuries left the team’s quarterback situation in peril.

With comments like that, his declining skills, and his general attitude towards the game (which sucks), he should remain a free agent.

I get it, you are a lifelong fan and subscriber to the "Million Dollaz Worth of Game" podcast and do not want to discredit that venerable platform.

Cam Newton is and has been irrelevant for years. It would be like wanting to have a thread or discussion about Joe Flacco. What's the point exactly? Unless to prove that he's somehow in your head, @Kress

:P

Can they cook?








That is an actual consideration, by the way. I don't know what to think about anyone, man or woman, who can't cook.

Me either. And I'm sure there's a lot of people out there who can't cook, and people out there who talk too much.

But that's not something you vent about on social media for all the world to see, like that dude on BucZone who posted that picture of Willie Taggart hanging from a tree. That shit made national news.

Cam's been an idiot since he stole a laptop and got himself kicked out of UF. Probably before that, too. I just can't verify his childhood.

Cam is going to have the same problem as Kaepernick but for slightly different reasons. He's not good enough to start and he brings to much baggage to be a backup.

We were talking recently about how Gronk is "fake dumb." Cam is real dumb.

That's exactly right.

When the baggage/distraction you bring outweighs the value/talent you provide you become irrelevant/worthless.

This is true of most businesses. Professional athletes actually get more leeway to show their ass though as long as they are talented.

Truth.

We're all equations to the people we make money for. I'm too tired right now to figure out an actual formula. But it'd be SOMETHING like:

(Productivity - Bullshit) x Difficulty To Replace With Someone Else

In Cam's case, bad math.

Good example of this: Cam said some "cancellable" shit back in 2017, too. But he was still a Pro Bowl level QB and the Panthers were 11-5, so under rug swept. He was still good math.

And even though Kaepernick's Bullshit number is sky high, if he'd become the Rich Man's Randall Cunningham instead of the new Kordell Stewart, he's still in the NFL as I type this, no matter what he said about America or Castro or Slavery.

Eh, it was hardly swept under the rug. The NFL just didn't care about the bad optics.

Fair enough, works out the same though. He was worth the bullshit then, so it played out different. Now everyone around the league is going to act aghast for cheap applause because he can't make them money anymore.

We're all just rotting meat with a formula of our worth attached (in the context of our professions and employers.) One of the things I like about the NFL, honestly, is you can usually do the math in real time. Very little guesswork. People pissed about Kaep, or confused why Deshaun Watson just got $240 million, are adorable to me.

You could apply this to pretty much any corporate entity in the world to be honest.

Great. This thread will now go for 36 pages and get moved to off topic due to extensive race discussion.
