boyst Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 There are definitely some angry folks on the wrong side of history, holding onto their rapidly-eroding status of being in the cultural driver's seat. If all you have going for you is that you're a white male - you need to work on yourself. It's not society's fault. All of that said - Cam is a moron. being a white male is no different than a Philippino woman unless you let it be. Gender identity is a social construct.

MJS Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Lots of dinosaurs here. Just like in real life. My wife was recruited out of college by IBM to be a programmer. She was the only female in the recruited group. Her entire career she was paid less than the men whose programs she would have to fix, because some of them were clueless. She was often not taken seriously because she was a good-looking woman. This behavior didn't make her real happy. In this thread, we see some with the same stupid attitude that she often encountered. When called on it, they lash out and call the rest of us feminists or something similar. It's all looked at differently by the dinosaurs when it's their wife or daughter that is treated that way. The dinosaurs are insecure, afraid, little children who can't distinguish between a macho idiot and a man. Exactly. They defend their right to belittle women to the death, as well. Good for them, but the rest of the US is hopefully getting smarter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good for them, but the rest of the US is hopefully getting smarter. "Political correctness" is an annoying, often counter-productive way to advance a laudable goal of increased respect and tolerance. But it is not, as some posters here (and many in society) think, a symptom of degrading moral standing or a societal loss of fortitude. It's just Grievance-Based Politics. Again, super-annoying; doesn't make us weaker as a people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to still elevate and look to the best as the right example in society, no matter who they are.

Kelly the Dog Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Did she shake her head and dump you when you called Dan Manucci "the next Joe Ferguson"? No. But I did see Dan Manucci's parents at a bar in Scottsdale called Hightops, while Dan was playing in a Bills game, and they had the world's first camcorder taking Betamax home movies of a 12 inch screen up in a corner showing the game.

eliteqb Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 It sounded more like she made a statement to me and look how smart I am to say such a thing. Had no trouble with Cam's reply and don't think she should be upset at all. I've played and watched football for over 50 years and wouldn't know how to make a sensible reply to that question.

Watkins90 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 He said what most men think,except he shouldn't have said it. He's just not very smart. He'd be better served to ignore asinine questions from all reporters. That wasn't an asinine question, but a rather nice thought out question. She asked him about Xs and Os, and he answered like, 'Well, your female, so you clearly can't have any clue about routes." so he found it funny. is she out there running routes? I took a quick look. no videos or evidence she does? okay, so she is a sports writer and I'm sure she has some familiarity of how the routes are run but it looks more like poking fun at her then insulting? like I said, sensitive reporter and the media is eating it up. I find it to be no big deal. now if he cussed, called her a whore or something like that. yes, that would be insulting. lets make a bunch of something out of nothing. Just because she never actually ran routes doesn't mean she doesn't know what she is talking about. http://www.charlotteobserver.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/scott-fowler/article177107336.html#wgt=blogs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8-8 Forever? Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Cam made a sexist comment toward a female reporter at his press conference. It's going over about how you'd expect. @jjones9 "It's funny to hear a female talk about routes." What an embarrassing statement from Cam around 6:50 mark To say that in response to a legitimate question for @JourdanRodrigue is so backwards and disrespectful to her and to women Video http://m.panthers.com/media-vault/videos/Newton-Im-trying-to-win-any-way-possible/19b2887c-e136-429b-8d14-3044c10dd03a The reporter: @jourdanrodrigue I don't think it's "funny" to be a female and talk about routes.

Watkins90 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I don't mind women in sports. But let's be real. They find hot chicks. They teach them what they need to know. They coach them on what to say. And, because they are professionals, they learn. I would bet my son's life on the fact that ZERO of the women on TV for football, were football enthusiasts growing up. They're entertainers and they've learned their parts. They don't know schit about running routes and Cam Newton knows it. Should he have said it? Perhaps not. Perhaps so. I applaud him, personally. Maybe we should do our homework before criticizing women reporters. http://www.charlotteobserver.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/scott-fowler/article177107336.html I'm not saying all women reporters are like this, but this girl seems to be legit. Actually, loves football and tries to digest as much as possible. We sit here and praise the guys who watch the all-22 and give a breakdown. They all claim to not be coaches, yet we take their word for what they see. She never claimed to be a coach. She asked a question about routes and he blew her off like she didn't know anything because he thinks any women in sports doesn't know ****. While that might be the case with some, it ain't with all.
