Cam Newton says his ‘sarcasm’ got him in trouble

Cam Newton

Cam Newton was still talking about his sexism controversy during the week following Sunday’s road win over the Lions.

After the game, the Carolina Panthers quarterback said his controversy stemmed from a sarcastic comment gone wrong.

Cam on comments: "Lesson learned for me… my sarcasm trying to give someone a compliment turned in ways I never would have imaged…"

It’s truly a wonder what part of laughing at a female reporter for talking about routes was complimentary rather than sexist.

Newton gave a good apology for his remarks and should leave it at that rather than justify something he acknowledged in his statement was wrong.
