Did Cam Really Say This??

[Greatman77]

Surely this was taken out of context, Cam can't provide for his family any more?

The quote says "...I can't provide like I once did". No one in the Newton family is going hungry.

He says “…like I once did.” I just take it to mean he had to dial back spending and be smarter with his money since he doesn’t have his NFL paychecks coming in anymore. I don’t think there’s anything heartbreaking there, just reality. Sorry kids, we’ve gotta trade in the $20m mansion for a $2m mansion. Sorry, can’t buy 2 lambos for each of you. If he truly can’t provide at all it is just mismanaging his money and it’s hard to feel bad about that. Not everybody is going to be great with money but when you make that much you can hire somebody who is.

Yea this came out awhile ago watch the interview he definitely clarifies what he means. He def ain't broke he's got a lot of business ventures

Yep. He was saying no longer making NFL money was humbling for him as a man/father not that he's "struggling"

Reading comprehension brother.  Big difference in what was said and what you took from it.

"Surely this was taken out of context" is literally what I said. But yeah, the post on X was clickbait, for sure.

It says in the screenshot you posted "I can't provide like I once did", as @shaqattaq    said.

Don't worry about Cam.  He's an intelligent man, and has plenty of ways to provide for his family.

Cam has always been a difficult cat to read, I don’t think anyone will argue this. His clarification was equally vague. What he meant is definitely up for interpretation.

This is some troll poo

[Move the Panthers to Raleigh]

Whenever I hear about pro ball players needing millions to “provide for their family” I always roll my eyes and laugh

1. once you get used to whatever lifestyle bar...change is felt by all. 

2.  not saying this is the case, but never underestimate the ability for pro athletes to go broke.  They go broke at a crazy rate.  Even the high earners.  Feel like Adrian Peterson was just back in the news about being broke. 

Cam got like 8 kids and 3 baby mommas.  So yeah, he can't provide like he used to back in the day.  Math going to math and that ain't gonna be good for Cam.

This quote was a while ago and he’s just saying money obviously isn’t coming in like it was when he was in the league. He’s not broke.
