Cam Newton | Page 20 | 49ers Webzone Forum

Well, this happened https://youtu.be/y66UzHEPq98 And now people are freaking out. Cam lost a major sponsor and other players like Russ Wilson are using it to claim they support equality (as if Cam doesn't) https://www.seattletimes.com/sports/seahawks/on-cam-newton-controversy-seahawks-quarterback-russell-wilson-supports-equality/ Wilson says most of the women in his life "know more about sports than he does". That's just it, most of us wouldn't share his experience. I've asked most of my friends about this today and we all agree most all of the women in our lives are not football fans to the point of analyzing plays. How many women are on this site doing such? Two, three...maybe five? I'd welcome it. Hey, if most women loved football I'd be a very happy man. Anyhow, I think it's obvious Newton wasn't suggesting women can't understand football, IMO his reaction was suggesting most women don't really have an interest in football to the point of analyzing plays etc, so it was a surprise to see. What do you think? Is he some sort of horrible sexist as so many are suggesting?

Anyways, while I do think that Cam's decision to not get vaccinated played at least a part in him not staying in NE, any sort of discussion about vaccines themselves should be taken to the threads we specifically have for that that topic in the Parking Lot.

I agree. I just peeped into this thread briefly and saw a vaccine discussion about Cam so I posed a question based around whether it makes sense to banish players over vaccination status if disease transmission ain't the concern

Now if it is the concern then you have to protect other players and I wouldn't want Cam on my club either because that puts me at a competitive disadvantage

You would be wrong. He's not vaccinated.

So how about he should've been fully vaccinated day 1 like any sane individual. Don't worry about boosters or further protection in the future: step 1 - get vaccinated

He was a hell of a player at his peak, but I honestly think his arm is shot now.

Could he have chose a more annoying font to write his IG message with?

We should've paid more attention to BB's announcement that Cam gave Jones an opportunity and he obviously made the most of it. Still, it was a surprise of sorts...Cam will likely sign with another team, but whomever that is has to be a bit wary of his overall status and COVID history.

That is one example of how he calls attention to himself. At some point, it becomes too much.

Many teams will be reluctant to sign anti vaxxer. Brian Hoyer is one and pats also cut him

CAM just never got what Bill wanted.. at the stage of his career, CAM should have been move a leader and be more reserved so the young guys will follow him..

INSTEAD, he still saw his self as a STAR and was dancing around all practices and pre games... he just didn't see who his HC is now..

Maybe he thought because he caught Covid last year already he no longer needed a vaccine. Either way, he's supposed to be a team leader, but won't lead by example or make sure he doesn't detract from his team.
