Wouldn't he have to post before me in order for me to mimic him?

Don't strain the brain of the self proclaimed "smart one"

"Cam Newton Foundation gives $150K to Charlotte schools"

 

 

 

Never said that Cam was not a good guy.....because he is.

 

Just pointing out that his being in an accident is no more "dark or tragic" than someone else....used a surgeon, teacher, firefighter, etc to make a point.

 

Point is that too many people idolize athletes.

[chknwing]

My point is that the fact that people place an athlete on such a pedestal and call them "the biggest icome in the state" kind of shows that the majority of people idolize and value the wrong things.

 

He is a football player....nothing more.

 

If you are going to rank things, I would say that a doctor, or a teacher, or a firefighter, etc being in a crash would be more of a tragedy....as they actually provide more to society and life than a person who plays football on Sundays.

 

I dont know if I would go that far.  Cam, as well as most athletes give back to their communities.  Cam is a role model.  Children do look up to him.  He wasn't doing anything stupid to cause the accident.  Saying hes "just a football player" is a little rash imo. I understand your point though.  Not saying he should be placed on a pedestal but he shouldn't be thrown under the bus either.

And I'm just pointing out that Cam isn't just a typical football player.

City and states sports history.

And stop shitting up a nice thread

 

Sorry...forgot about who the avg person on the Huddle is.

 

Cam is da greatest.....He is superman....I would just die if da man got hurt.

 

Is that better?

I was at the Hornets game when the re-retired his jersey. It was a really emotional moment and the team did right by him and his family. He was an asset to the Charlotte community but made a poor decision. Sounds like a lot of people.  Obviously everyone here critical of him has never made or almost made a tragic or horrific mistake in their life so they are free to criticize posthumously a person.

What?  How hilarious.

 

Cam IS just a typical football player.  There are players on every team that do the things he does on and off the field.

People are grumpy this morning!

Just refuse to hold him up like some hero....he was a basketball player who decided that street racing in rush hour traffic was a good decision.
