Leading up to Super Bowl 50 there’s been a lot of speculation about Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton and why it is that some people don’t like him? Is it racism, his personality or something else about him that rubs people the wrong way?
Newton himself seems to think it has to do with racism and him being an African-American quarterback. Newton stated this in a recent press conference:
“I’m an African-American quarterback that may scare a lot of people because they haven’t seen nothing they can compare me to.”
Are some fans and media afraid of Cam Newton because he’s black?
