Newton: Word choice 'extremely degrading'
Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton said Thursday night that, "After careful thought, I understand that my word choice was extremely degrading and disrespectful to women," a day after he made light of a female reporter for asking a serious football question.
Newton said it was not his intention to be disrespectful.
"If you are a person who took offense to what I said, I sincerely apologize to you," he said in a video message posted to his Twitter account.
"I'm a man who tries to be a positive role model in my community and tries to use my platform to inspire others. And I take ownership to everything that comes with that. And what I did was extremely unacceptable."
Charlotte Observer beat reporter Jourdan Rodrigue asked Newton during Wednesday's news conference about wide receiver Devin Funchess embracing the physicality of routes and whether Newton got enjoyment out of that.
Newton laughed and responded, "It's funny to hear a female talk about routes like ... it's funny."
In his video statement Thursday night, Newton noted that he has two daughters.
"At their age, I try to instill to them that they can do and be anything that they want to be. The fact that during this whole process I've already lost sponsors and countless fans, I realize that the joke is really on me, and I have learned a valuable lesson from this," he said. "And to the young people who see this, I hope that you learn something from this as well: Don't be like me; be better than me.
"To the reporters, to the journalists, to the moms, supermoms, to the daughters, the sisters and the women all around the world, I sincerely apologize and hope that you can find the kindness in your heart to forgive me. Thank you."

He has that smug frat boy aura about himself
Jemele's an idiot. ESPN wants to scrap her and Mike's hour of Sportscenter so bad to get back in the graces of pro-Trump hillbillies. She's making it easy for them. At least have a buffer period of a few months before you start back up your political related tweets. Don't keep doing it right after you just got a warning and all of white America is watching you like a hawk, just waiting to tattle to ESPN that you're not following their warning. I bet Jerry Jones made a call to. She walked right into that one. Don't make it easy on them. Be smarter.
I'm gonna be mad if she costs Michael his job. He's gonna back her no matter what, but she keeps putting him in this situation.

She's an idiot for doing what people say those in her position should do and speak out? People stay talking about looking past your paycheck and doing the right thing but then call those who do idiots...
This is why I kept saying in the election threads last year majority of people ain't built to sacrifice the way they're demanding others do

That tweet was stupid af by Jemele. Advising people to boycott NFL advertisers (which ESPN is one of) gives those people a valid reason to suspend/fire her.

Stephan A told people to boycott the NBA during the Sterling incident and no suspension. What's stupid about her tweet exactly? I commend her for not being a tool like so many blacks in her position.

You're an idiot, too. No one's telling her to not speak out. She just needs to be smart and strategic about it. Because if she gets fired, then she no longer has a platform to "speak out" on. Stop thinking sacrifice means being unemployed. A lot of black people unemployed helps no one. You get into positions of power and then strategically use that power to inspire change. But the key is being in a position of power. No one listens to people in the unemployment line.
If Jemele and Mike's show gets cancelled, then expect ESPN to also put a muzzle on First Take. Then there's no more "speaking out".

You have a point but I'm not mad at the lady for speaking her truth. Not to mention the fact that she did use her position of power to speak out against social injustice. I commend the lady for not being afraid
Hopefully she has her money straight and consumers will back her. I know I for 1 don't mess with ESPN like that anyway and I most definitely will stop my lone support of viewing NBA games on that network if they fire her.

SAS is a more valuable employee and he wasn't already in the hot seat before he spoke out.
She's not wrong for speaking out but going directly against your employer when there's already people gunning for you (the white house was campaigning to get her fired) is stupid.
