Question: why is someone automatically racist for disliking Cam?
I have nothing against the guy, just a general question. He's a good QB. Not my favorite, but whatever. Why is someone racist if they think he's a smug, smarmy rear end?

I have noticed this too, in the last few years there has developed a sort of hivemind of underemployed 110 IQ dullards who propagate this stuff on their twitters and blogs etc. Which makes it gospel. They all talk about the same stuff. They're this weird cohort of sports fans who don't actually seem to like sports. People in the media follow all these people and get a warped view thinking everyone agrees and it just becomes gospel. Its not great.

The phrasing is very similar to classic racist rhetoric. And you're talking about the Carolinas here.

I don't care if you don't like Cam Newton unless you're one of those idiots who posts stuff about how he's an uppity classless showboat unlike that good one Player X or whatever on Facebook.

The "classless" I do find a bit ridiculous considering we're talking about a sport that has lifespans shortened every Sunday.

There also isn't much evidence he is smug or smarmy, so that's a clue. I mean Cam could be a dick but I don't know how you would know. He doesn't say that much to the media, as far as I know.

You're not necessarily racist if you don't like Cam.

Chances are you're a crybaby whos just jel because your team got owned by him this year like AAC or you dont like fun and probably need to have a stick removed from your rear end.

Either way you should gently caress off because Cam owns and will win mvp next week and it'll be cool and good.

Or I'm a good Christian who doesn't appreciate him declaring his son to be the messiah, in essence declaring himself to be god. Shameful stuff, and the kind of behavior you really only see from people taking lots of drugs or with serious mental illness.

After what I just saw happen to the Cardinals, I can safely say that I feel Tom Brady deserves to have Short and Starr in his face for four whole quarters. And Malcolm Butler deserves to be styled on by Ted Ginn. Bill Belichick deserves to be out coached by Ron Rivera. The Patriots deserve the Panthers.

The best thing about Cam Newton winning the Super Bowl will be the long, boring offseason months as abrasive Southern posters talk down to us, because the rest of the country is racist for not cheering on the Panthers. Midway through the offseason they can have another celebration, to mark the one year anniversary of Carolina no longer flying the Confederate battle flag in the state capitol. :ironicat:

Foreal though - It's really cool to me that Cam went from irresponsible, somewhat troubled college kid to top 5 QB about to play in the Super Bowl. He also apparently does a lot of good charity stuff in Charlotte. Plus, I thought he was going to flame out in the NFL because he just relied so heavily on natural athletic ability, but dude is just fantastic now and the Panthers offense is so much fun to watch.

Also my mom says he's "cute as a button" and she'd like it if he won because she wants him to "make those whities squirm" (the white people who write letters to newspapers abut Cam)

She hates Tom Brady, however. When the Pats lost she texted me: "That's what he gets for cheating with his deflated little balls"

It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, MAD-2R World
No more football is going to suck. :smith:

Before the games were played yesterday I would have said the Patriots were worse than either of the NFC teams. Palmer's comprehensive turbo sewage explosion meltdown (4 picks and 2 lost fumbles? :wtc:) makes that look less smart, but overall it's probably still true if you're just comparing position groups to each other. The Patriots team that the Broncos squeaked by at the last second (again) is just a lot worse than last year's team. I don't think this bodes well for Denver in the Super Bowl.

The Panthers have a better defense, and a better offensive line, and better running backs, and Cam is just ridiculous this year in the best way. poo poo, overall their receiving weapons are probably playing better too... Gronk was still great, but their white dwarf receivers couldn't do poo poo, and LaFell destroyed the last vestiges of hope that his actually useful 2014 season was anything but a bizarre fluke, and LOL at making White your featured 3rd down weapon.

The Broncos defense is legitimately really good, and :baby: called a perfect defensive game plan... but they got to feast on maybe the worst tackle to play a snap in the playoffs this year (Cannon), and I don't think anybody on Carolina's line is anywhere near as lovely. If Denver tries to use the same strategy on defense against Caronlia, the Panthers will probably run for 500 yards.

Honestly I have always liked and admired Peyton Manning and I'm rooting for him to go out on top. Really, why would anyone root against the guy unless you're a Panthers fan, a fan of a rival AFC West team, or an rear end in a top hat?

However, if Cam and the Panthers win I won't be crushed. I just hope it's a good game. I have no dog in this fight.

Panthers gonna win and it's gonna be exciting as hell, it's gonna be good to see that denver d destroyed on a purely revenge based level. Also I think a team that can manage to run the ball and have an offensive line made of something other than tackling dummies will give them some trouble.

The most fun narrative for these types is hey look at all these white people who hate Cam...racists! I hate to break it to everyone but not many people hate Cam, and most of the ones who do would love him on their team or are insane Alabama homers who still care about "$cam Newton" which is more a psychopath college football thing than any racist crap.

Cam is about to be the runaway MVP. He was in 2 national commercials in a row yesterday. He is one of the top 3 faces of the league. Settle down about every white person hating him. It is just a stupid narrative.

Just realized I posted this while having an avatar mocking old white people for being racist against Cam :lol:
