"Cam Newton is ruining the game of football.

It’s like all he really cares about is either running the ball into the end zone or forcing his teammates to go to the end zone to catch a pass he’s thrown there. I know there are some bandwagon Cam Newton fans who will say with a straight face that this kind of behavior is part of what makes him a fun, likable player, but to those of us who respect the game, it makes him look like a clown.

Starting with the gridiron’s earliest gladiators, football has always been a battle fought on the sacred patch of green grass between the goal lines. So someone explain why a player who spends most of his time crossing those goal lines receives the kind of praise Cam Newton does. It’s flat out disrespectful to the game, a game that happens to be our country’s most beloved sport. I’m not trying to say Cam Newton is unpatriotic, but I am saying he clearly isn’t a fan of our country. Is this really the type of behavior we want to reinforce?"

I was about to say "what the" till I saw the link source.

Reminds me of a comment made by a Seahawks fan after the playoff game "if they didn't score so much in the first half we would have won."

Only the Seahawks fan was serious.

Looked it up just to be certain. As I suspected, the Seahawks have lost every single game where their opponent scored more points than they did. 

Somebody should probably let him know that.

Satire or nah?

Maybe change it to "working football" ;-)

What's sad here is that I clocked into this thread expecting a serious article.  I then felt silly when I saw the story was sourced to "Funny or Die".

But then I also realized that as many idiotic stories as there have been about Newton this year, I had every reason to expect this was serious.

Shame, isn't it?

Thats more die than funny. Could have been a little humorous with some over the top acting in a youtube vid.
