Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton laughed and made light of a female reporter who asked about one of his teammates, saying it was "funny to hear a female" ask the question.

Charlotte Observer beat reporter Jourdan Rodrigue asked Newton during Wednesday's news conference about wide receiver Devin Funchess embracing the physicality of routes and if Newton got enjoyment out of that.

Newton responded, "It's funny to hear a female talk about routes like -- it's funny.''

I don't think it's "funny" to be a female and talk about routes. I think it's my job.
Jourdan Rodrigue (@JourdanRodrigue) October 4, 2017


I spoke with him after and it was worse. I chose not to share, because I have an actual job to do today and one he will not keep me from.
Jourdan Rodrigue (@JourdanRodrigue) October 4, 2017


Rodrigue and Newton spoke afterward, but she declined to comment about the meeting.

So he was saying to her face "It's funny to hear a woman talk about Football in a non-surface manner"

Yup, that's a pretty dumb thing to say as the face of a franchise and face of a town.

I mean, he was kicked out of school for stealing a laptop that he wrote his name on and threw it out of the window when the cops were right there.

Hes not a bright one. Just a shame that nobody will care about this awful incident and itll be like it never even happened.

Cam said nothing wrong.

Only routes women should be concerned with is the route from the bedroom to the kitchen.


Its the currently occuring unit of annual time, of our Lord, Jesus the Christ, Two Thousand and Ten and Seven, when we've put a man on the moon and mapped the human genome, and people are still making jocular quips about female women in the kitchen room.

If that guy was literally an expert on the topic and the woman completely belittled him on the basis of his sex then yeah it'd be understandable for that guy to be annoyed by it.

That was a stupid way to reply to her. Like, why even reply that way even if you felt that way in your mind, just answer the damn question.

Stuff like this is what women talk about when they say they feel they have to constantly "prove" themselves in their professions. He wouldn't have made a statement like that in regards to a male doing the same job as her and that's the entire point. Keep in mind that most dudes don't know anything in depth about route running either but would never be questioned about it if they asked a question about it.

Of course, certain people see this (kind of funny how I could predict who would see no problem with it) and pretend like it means nothing and pretend that statements like this have a bearing on how someone like Cam might treat or think of women. But ok.

At the end of the day by no stretch would I say he deserves to be suspended/fined/punished, that's going too far. However it was a stupid thing to say and he deserves to be called out on it.
