Newton's been heckled all season long for overemphasizing his touchdown celebrations with a dance that has swept the country and seen its audience reach the level of Betty White and Hillary Clinton. EIGHT LETTERS OF INTENT So when Cam Newton shows frustration in his postgame press conference and walks out on the media during a question, it gives all the Newton-haters FOR HENS something to bond over. He’s immature, a sore loser, not a true leader—you’ve heard them all. The fact of the matter is that when Cam Newton plays football and plays it well, he has fun. He enjoys the game and inspires kids to score a touchdown for themselves and their team and to celebrate with pride. Give credit where credit is due—the Broncos’ defense gave the Panthers no opportunity to succeed Sunday night. Newton can be criticized to the moon and back, and he will continue to be, but that is the misguided misrepresentation of one of the best athletes in the country. Cam Newton is currently changing the game of football. The NFL has not seen a quarterback of his stature and skill, and he’s the only member of the Tebow-Griffin-Manziel Heisman-to-bust clan still relevant in the NFL. Rather than bashing Newton for failing to talk to the media properly, let’s remember that he’s still learning. He just had one of the greatest regular seasons ever and then got beat by the legendary Peyton Manning in what was likely his final game. Shouldn’t that be the storyline we focus on?
