I'm sure Danny B will be along to accuse me of "defending" Newton, but does he really need to know her name? The self-importance of these reporters is striking. It kind of reminds me of Bruce telling Ed Lynch that he gives him his job.

I don't think him not knowing her name is what people are pissed about.

I don't think football players should be knocking anyone for their mental acuity.

Especially the guy who scored 21 on the Wonderlic.

No shit. But she's pissed about it.

Nope.

Nope what?

Come on, man. You're trying to carve out a narrative that isn't there. She's pissed because he thinks she's a football dumbass due to her gender.

You left out her motive for confronting him in the first place.

None of that shit about her name matters. He's a jack off, and he has literally set the bar for misogyny. He gives Julie DiCaro ammunition.

Both things can be true. She clearly has an elevated opinion of her own importance, as most reporters do. "Without me you don't have a job."

I didn't read as much as you probably did, but come on, dude. Denying the stupidity of things like this helps the cause of moron feminists like JDC. Admit sexism when it truly occurs, and it lends credibility.

Who is denying Cam Newton's stupidity? Certainly not me. As far as his sexism is concerned, it's insignificant. He isn't employing the reporters. He can have whatever dumb ideas he wants. And they can report them. Maybe he'll lose an endorsement. If you're looking to football players for guidance on social mores, I'd suggest you look elsewhere.

Really?

I don't think anyone is drawing any larger significance from his idiotic comment. People just care because he's a very well-known sports figure, and his comment was absolutely offensive to women. I'm the farthest thing from a feminist you'll ever meet, but let's not be ridiculous. That shit was insanely offensive.

And that was pre-CTE.

It's cool. I hate women sports "reporters" almost as much as I hate Trump voters. I don't get all the hubub either.

"Rodrigue ended by asking Newton – whom she had introduced herself to on the first day of her employment with The Observer in October 2016 – if he knew her name after she had covered the team almost every day for the past year.

Newton said he did not.

“Jourdan Rodrigue, Charlotte Observer,” she said, and then walked away."

We've gotten to the point where saying it's funny hearing a woman talk about routes is insanely offensive.

Congratulations America.

You suck.

Yeah, that was just a little over dramatic, leashyourkids.
