tigerman1186 537 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Did I miss something concerning Cam and how he is being slammed by the NFL, and others because of his remark about 'routes' from a women reporter'???? I didn't see how he did anything to offend her, he just made a statement. Then on NBC news tonight, a female reporter for US Today, said he better get used to it, because 'we're not going anywhere." It sounds like to me someone got their feelings hurt and can't handle it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southwest 186 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 I think it was poorly worded by him,he should of said repoters instead of saying women. Secondly an abrupt apology would of smoothed it over alot better im guessing. I would like to see what comes of the tweets that she wrote a few years back.

Sully to Beasley 643 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 We have become the "United States of the Offended". I get so tired of the speech police. Cam was obviously joking with the reporter but of course, the PC crowd saw a chance to exploit someone famous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shabby 1,948 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Maybe a woman, who spends her adult life being a credible sports reporter doesn't like being dismissed because of her gender. It was a sexist and ridiculous comment by Cam and he should have had the courage to apologize for it himself rather than having his team do it for him. I lost a lot of respect for him.

3rdgeneration 6,458 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 He did come out and apologize. I felt like it was very sincere and showed that he had actually thought about what he said. Now, he may have been told to apologize, I don't know. But what he said seemed to be coming from him and not something written by some suits somewhere. He has had way too much success very early in his life. He is still learning. I will give him a break because he humbled himself to apologize, and hope it contributes to building his character.

tigerbrotha12 2,362 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 He really didn't do a whole lot wrong. He made a comment that the PC crowd took and ran with since their national anthem protests are running out of steam. Just a bunch of whiners trying to make sure no one is offended. Bear Bryant once asked a woman reporter "well what you know about football, you ever play?" And barely anyone remembers that. If you're gonna condem this, you gotta go back and condem everything else you used to let slide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at what Cam said and replace the word woman with black, jew, gay, and maybe then you'll understand why saying that about a woman is so disrespectful. the fact that someone has to explain this to you guys.......

doc4aday 1,887 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Cam needs to focus on the good he does in the community and he does do a lot of good. He knows better than this and should learn from this and be the kind of man we know he is capable of being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folks gonna be piling on at least through the game on Sunday...and then maybe something else will become the issue next week.

jAUSon 2,836 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 He shouldn't have said it, but as always, the level of bullshart outrage this has caused makes me not give a crap what he said. Maybe some of these people will get pissed and set themselves on fire like the good ol days. Let the cable cutting continue: baseball, football, and nascar in the near future won't be able to retain enough subscribers to float these $150 a month providers. I look for a major correction here, maybe even in our household soon. - We're gonna "truck stick" ole miss saturday. War Eagle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like to me someone got their feelings hurt and can't handle it. It's the double standard at work....media can say or imply anything they want ...supporting facts optional...about a celebrity like Cam without remorse or need for apology. If you read any of the stuff on the internet sports sites, some folks dusted off the old innuendoes about how Cam got to Auburn...just to throw another log on the fire. .

Farmer Brown 2,391 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 My answer is this...The bizarre, contemporanous, apocalyptic statements from those in the public eye, shows a stylized phraseology of ancient conceptual imagery. In other words, people are so thin skinned now days, one cannot say anything without offence. It aint like it used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As people age their skin actually does get thinner so you may have just insulted the majority of the Greatest Generation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
