Brandon Marshall: "race isn't the reason people don't like Cam"

According to the coli we gotta dance on the field, dress a certain way or we not "a real one".

I'll post the article:
-------------------------------------------------
Brandon Marshall doesn’t think all the criticism that Cam Newton gets is about race.

Newton, the quarterback of the Super Bowl-bound Carolina Panthers who has irked some with his touchdown celebrations, said on Wednesday that he takes heat because he’s black.

“I’ve said this since Day One,” Newton said. “I’m an African-American quarterback that scares people because they haven’t seen nothing that they can compare me to.”

But Marshall, the outspoken Jets receiver, sees it differently.

“It’s a generational thing and I just stick to that,” Marshall said on “The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore” on Wednesday night. “I don’t think it’s racial. I just think that there’s a box that we put our quarterbacks in and we say, ‘This is how you’re supposed to be. This is how Peyton Manning did it, this is how Joe Montana did it, Tom Brady, so you do it the same way.’”

Of course, every quarterback Marshall named in that sentence also happens to be white.

Critics of Newton have complained about his dances, questioned his leadership and — in multiple letters to the Charlotte Observer — complained that he hadn’t married his son’s mother.

Though Marshall doesn’t think that race is at the heart of the criticism around Newton, he did compliment the quarterback for speaking out about how he felt.

“I commend him because back in the day our athletes and entertainers used to be civil rights leaders. They used to speak up,” Marshall said. “But now, the business has taken over. You have these brands like Under Armour, Nike and Beats by Dre and the yogurt thing (Dannon) that he endorsed. They come in, they tell you, ‘You know what, just be a good boy, shut your mouth and collect your check.’”

“I am one of those guys that, if I have an opinion I’m going to to say it. I guess that’s why I’m on my fourth team,” Marshall added with a smile.

With regard to Newton’s famous post-touchdown dance moves, Marshall seemed conflicted. First he said, “I don’t want my quarterback dancing. I’m from the old school ... I want my quarterbacks to get back in the huddle and lead us.”

Then Marshall reversed himself and complimented Newton. “But what we have to understand is this is the new generation,” he said. “This is what they’re doing next. They’re disruptive, they’re disrespectful, they don’t give a damn about anyone, and I kind of like it. Go back to when he was a rookie and he said, ‘I want to be an icon.’ You want to be an icon, you can’t stay in the box, you have to get out of the box, you have to be disruptive.”

Asked if he thought the dancing was a bit much, the wideout said, “So too much? That’s the question. He’s 15-1. He’s the MVP. He’s going to be the sixth African-American quarterback leading his team to the Super Bowl. It’s working.”

Ultimately, Marshall seemed to come down in favor of Newton’s moves, despite what the receiver said early in his interview.

“I love it, keep doing it, keep dancing,” he said.

Marshall was also asked if he thought the Jets were better than the two teams in the Super Bowl. “Absolutely,” Marshall said. But when he tried to elaborate on his explanation, the wideout couldn’t keep a straight face, revealing that even Marshall knew he was stretching the truth.

But he named 3 white quarterbacks tho

The same people that hate Cam Newton loved Joe Namath.
The same people that hate Marshawn Lynch loved John Riggins
The same people that hate Floyd Mayweather loved Rick Flair
The same people that hate T.O. love Johnny Manziel
The same people that said Barry Bonds was the worst thing for baseball are saying Donald Trump is the best thing for America.

I don't think I've seen a single white person who likes Manziel (Skip Bayless doesn't count).

Cam actually said something with substance and relevance, Dwight is strictly a clown to make cacs heel safe. Cam has fun but isn't there to tap dance for others, that's the big difference

Cam was getting hated before his comments. At the end of the day, the idea of a "safe negro" is a fallacy. Some might get more leeway than others, but at the end of the day, racists aren't labeling us cornballs, swaggy, safe or unsafe. We're all n words to them. Why we're so quick to create division amongst our own when the ones who hate us hate us equally will never make sense to me

Exactly!

Here's why Russell Wilson is a cornball:

He was parading that clearly golddigging white girl around and EVERYONE knew she was wack, and he was still like 'nah that's all me" til he found out she belonged to the trailer park streets.

Then he has the nerve to wife up a chick who makes terrible p*ssy decisions and raise a child thats not his that had have the genetic material of a woman that would lay up with a garbage drug addict rapper like Future and half the genetic material of a garbage drug addict rapper.

Straight cornball shyt.

And the reason why white folks don't like Cam? Because even though he dances, he doesn't dance for him, he dances for himself, and a black man not interested in trying to make white people happy and feel safe is a danger to them. Just like Richard Sherman wasn't interested in white people feelings over his own.

Now can you really say and believe in your heart Russell Wilson wouldn't put white America's feelings over his own? Over black Americas?

Isn't Steve Smith married to a white woman AND has kids with her? I rarely see him getting criticized for being a "cornball". Or when he threw Cam under the bus.

Cam was 'big source of frustration' for Steve Smith

Steve Smith and Cam Newton said all the right things to the media this week leading up to Carolina's matchup in Baltimore this week. But the real story was typically more interesting.

"From what I understand, Cam Newton was a big source of frustration for Steve Smith," NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport said Sunday on NFL Gameday Morning. "In fact, he told close friends he doesn't believe Cam Newton sees the field at all, specifically in the red zone. What Steve Smith told friends is that Cam Newton doesn't think fast enough or isn't precise enough to succeed in the red zone.

There is some statistical proof for Smith's assertion. Newton has only completed 44 percent of his passes in the red zone since 2011. Then again, Newton is one of the best red-zone runners in the league (not that wide receivers care as much about that).

Newton hasn't been able to run this season because he's not 100 percent healthy. That means he'll have to prove Smith wrong with a few well-timed passes Sunday against the Ravens.

And Cam isn't safe? He's essentially the Dwight Howard of the NFL

He a cornball too. Russell Wilson tends to be more open with it then Steve Smith though. Maybe it's visibility. Funny how some of the same dudes in here calling that one chick a bedwench for dating all those white men afraid to call Russell Wilson a cornball for marrying a huge slutbucket of a white cac.

He a cornball too.

Except that no one calls him that here. Just like no one calls Randy Moss a "cornball" for marrying someone white. It all depends on how they act which is stupid. The "cornball" label is lame and just creates unnecessary division. As far as Russell's situation with Ciara, there are countless pro athletes involved in ridiculous simp dilemmas. He's definitely not the only one.
