Lol Cam got these people so mad they don't know how to take it. Got people going on Social Media writing letters and shyt, calling the police on him, saying distasteful comments about him, bring up things that happen about a decade ago. All the dude is doing is playing a game he loves and having fun while doing it. Well all I got to say is make em mad Cam, keep doing what you doing, fukk em. We are 9-0 the team as a whole looks like they are coming together and no major injuries happen last game, I feel the only thing that can stop them is themselves. The deadskins are coming off a huge victory against the Saints so their fans are real cocky right now, lets bring them back to earth. Alright Panther nation "Keep Pounding" y'all.
And Let The Church Say AMEN!!!

A concerned Tennessee mom can't explain Cam Newton's dance to her 9-year old daughter
Tennesee Titans fan Rosemary Plorin of Nashville attended Sunday’s game against the Carolina Panthers with her fourth-grade daughter. On Monday, she sent us this note she wrote to Panthers’ quarterback Cam Newton:
Dear Mr. Newton,
Congratulations on your win in Nashville today. Our team played well, but yours played better. Kudos to the Panthers organization.
That game happened to be my nine year old daughter’s first live NFL experience. She was surprised to see so many Panthers’ fans sitting in our section of the stadium; that doesn’t happen much at fourth grade football games. And she was excited we were near the end zone, so we would be close to the “action,” particularly in the second half.
Because of where we sat, we had a close up view of your conduct in the fourth quarter. The chest puffs. The pelvic thrusts. The arrogant struts and the ‘in your face’ taunting of both the Titans’ players and fans. We saw it all.
I refuse to believe you don’t realize you are a role model. You are paid millions of dollars every week to play hard and be a leader. In the off season you’re expected to make appearances, support charities, and inspire young kids to pursue your sport and all sports. With everything the NFL has gone through in recent years, I’m confident they have advised that you are, by virtue of your position and career choice, a role model.
And because you are a role model, your behavior brought out like behavior in the stands. Some of the Panthers fans in our section began taunting the hometown fans. Many Titans fans booed you, a few offering instructive, but not necessarily family friendly, suggestions as to how you might change your behavior.
My daughter sensed the change immediately – and started asking questions. Won’t he get in trouble for doing that? Is he trying to make people mad? Do you think he knows he looks like a spoiled brat?
I didn’t have great answers for her, and honestly, in an effort to minimize your negative impact and what was otherwise a really fun day, I redirected her attention to the cheerleaders and mascot.
I could tell she was still thinking about it as we boarded a shuttle back to our car. “I guess he doesn’t have kids or a Mom at home watching the game,” she added.
I don’t know about your family life Mr. Newton, but I think I’m safe in saying thousands of kids watch you every week. You have amazing talent and an incredible platform to be a role model for them. Unfortunately, what you modeled for them today was egotism, arrogance and poor sportsmanship.
Is that what your coaches and mentors modeled for you, Mr. Newton?

Dance backlash: Panthers QB Cam Newton not out of step, just a step ahead
Cam Newton’s touchdown dance Sunday made some people uncomfortable
Perhaps part of their discomfort has nothing to do with whether it was taunting
Newton is putting his culture on display in a city where it’s mostly foreign
)

BY JONATHAN JONES
jjones@charlotteobserver.com
The explanation of Cam Newton’s touchdown celebration in Sunday’s victory against the Tennessee Titans is simple, but complex.
Newton is a young, successful black man celebrating through culturally relevant means.
It’s not hard to grasp that concept, though talk radio callers and a half-dozen Panthers fans who have emailed me have struggled to do so. Let’s unfold it.
In the fourth quarter of Sunday’s 27-10 victory in Nashville, Tenn., Newton extended the ball across the goal line for his sixth rushing touchdown of the season. As is his wont, he found an unoccupied spot in the end zone where he could put his dance moves on display.
First came a few dance steps and then the dab, a dance move born in Atlanta and Googled across Charlotte since Sunday afternoon. He followed that up with another dance step, “hittin’ dem folks” once, and then did it twice more in the faces of Titans defenders displeased with his celebrations.
Titans interim coach Mike Mularkey called it taunting. After the game Newton said he wasn’t being boastful; he was just being himself.
Newton is from Atlanta, the unofficial black capital of the United States. Two Saturdays ago I sat at a bar in midtown Atlanta and I was not a minority. Not that I’ve kept track, but I can’t remember that ever happening to me in Charlotte.
Newton carries with him the same culture so heavily influenced by African-Americans. Atlanta birthed Martin Luther King Jr. and OutKast. Newton saw the rise and fall of Michael Vick, the most dynamic quarterback in league history to that point.
Quarterbacks across the NFL celebrate touchdowns. Aaron Rodgers’ Discount Double Check move is so loved it’s become a commercial. Tom Brady cusses and carries on like he’s in a high school cafeteria. Brett Favre, who once did the since-banned throat-slash gesture in a game, would rip off his helmet and run around aimlessly after scores.
So why is Newton any different? He celebrated a touchdown – in a league that features the greatest athletes in the world – by doing a popular dance his little brother asked him to do.
Placed in a vacuum, that story should be one we celebrate.
The great black quarterbacks who came before Newton didn’t celebrate – for any number of reasons. Maybe they didn’t have rhythm. Maybe they had different temperaments. Or maybe – and probably – they couldn’t, for fear of the reaction.
We’ve seen the kind of fuss Newton’s celebration has caused before, when baseball star Ken Griffey Jr. wore his hat backward in the mid-90s.
Black people had played baseball for decades, but Griffey brought the game to generation of kids and made it look fun.
You waggled your bat like Griffey, wore your hat backward like he did in the home run derby. You had your parents buy his signature sneakers, which rarely happened with a baseball player.
In much the same way, Newton is ushering in football for a new generation. He has the 10th-best selling jersey in the country, according to dikk’s Sporting Goods. His Superman pose is imitated at every level of the game.
Before Sunday’s game, Trenton McNair, son of legendary Tennessee Titans quarterback Steve McNair, was at the game in Nashville, where his father was the NFL’s MVP in 2003, four years after he came within a foot of a Super Bowl victory.
Trenton could have been in his dad’s throwback jersey. Instead he wore a blue No. 1 Panthers jersey, and he spoke with Newton before the game.
Of course Newton’s dances are a form of self-aggrandizement. There is an inherent “look at me” nature to any celebration – white or black player, quarterback or otherwise.
But perhaps unwittingly, Newton is introducing a culture foreign to a good portion of Charlotte. Historically, there’s resistance when that has happened. Sometimes it’s followed by acceptance.
Some people are mad at Newton, and I can assure you he does not care.
Monday morning across Charlotte, people were doing the dab and hittin’ dem folks, but only after they tried it in private Sunday night.

Oh ok I get it
It's okay for the NFL's favorite CAC to throw a jab
Andy Dalton takes J.J. Watt's Red Ryder BB gun joke way too seriously
But they mad at our boi when he hit the dab.

now yall see why posters on here are so negative towards white media.
and i bet these fukkers are searching for a rape/domestic violence case or something on cam. every time he plays good and is close to a championship/superbowl they look to discredit him in some way.
they do not really have the material so they will just scrapping the bottom of the barrel/rehashing old shyt hoping he slips up some where.
you not only have to win on field but also off the field is just as important in this social media / camera phone era.
