Sitting on the sofa (or within the press field) and believing that you are able to do, or be higher at, what skilled athletes accomplish on daily basis is outrageous. However considering you’ll be able to beat up a person who’s arguably essentially the most bodily imposing quarterback the NFL has ever seen isn’t simply laughable, it’s proof of why you deserved to get your ass whooped.
Cam Newton stands 6’5” and weighs someplace round 245 kilos, give or take. Working up on him is dumb.
He’s a game-changer. Not a sport supervisor.
On Sunday, social media was in a frenzy after footage confirmed Newton “knuck’n” as a result of a gaggle of males had been “buck’n” at a 7-on-7 youth soccer event in Atlanta — Newton’s hometown.
It’s nonetheless unclear what brought on the lads to assault Newton, as he fended off the lads with ease. Finally, we’ll know extra and all of the questions can be answered, as Newton doesn’t draw back from issues on his podcast or through social media. However this isn’t about why the scuffle occurred, who was concerned and what it means. That is in regards to the one factor sensible folks have all the time recognized, which is that attempting to combat a professional athlete is silly.
Nearly all of them are real-life motion figures. It gained’t work out properly for you. It’s why Newton’s hat didn’t transfer an inch whereas a gaggle of males had been attempting their hardest to inflict ache on a person who most likely felt nothing after these males gave their every thing. “Newton, the No. 1 choose within the 2011 NFL draft out of Auburn, doesn’t seem to throw any punches within the video and appears to be heading off three different folks. There’s one punch thrown in Newton’s path, however it’s unclear if it landed on the previous quarterback,” learn the report from ESPN on the incident.
It’s as if the group of males forgot who Newton was, or had been someway unaware of his resume. That is the person who was part of these notorious Florida groups throughout City Meyer’s run with the Gators earlier than he left this system allegedly attributable to a stolen laptop computer, during which he was doubtlessly dealing with a felony. Newton then went to Blinn School, a spot that the sports activities world had by no means heard of, and gained a junior school nationwide championship in his lone season. He did the identical factor the next season, as he gained the Heisman and a nationwide championship at Auburn. He then turned the No. 1 choose within the 2011 NFL Draft and produced one of many biggest rookie seasons we’ve seen from a quarterback. 4 years later, he turned the primary Black quarterback to ever win MVP, outright. He additionally took the Carolina Panthers to the Tremendous Bowl that season.
There are tons of causes to make enjoyable of Newton and suppose he’s a joke. He says silly issues — so much. He wears bizarre outfits and hats and appears extra like a comic book ebook villain than a former NFL quarterback along with his resume. And his views on girls are horrible.
However regardless of all that, he can whoop the asses of 99.9 % of individuals on this Earth. His center identify is Jerrell, which is similar to Joe-El — Superman’s dad. That’s not a person you need to play video games with.
In all seriousness, it was unlucky that Newton was even put in a scenario during which he needed to defend himself, at a spot the place children had been enjoying, particularly since he’s been an energetic chief in youth soccer in Atlanta for years. And given the present local weather of America, and what passed off on the Kansas Metropolis Chiefs’ parade, it’s even sadder that we’ve to be grateful that weapons weren’t concerned on this incident, because it was over a number of seconds after it began. Hopefully, cooler heads will proceed to prevail.
However in the long run, Sunday was a reminder that considering you’ll be able to interact in fisticuffs with professional athletes who play a sport during which ridiculously sturdy males routinely seize, sort out, push, pull, and hit one another is admittedly dumb. It’s like Bomani Jones identified on Twitter/X, Cam Newton and Pacman Jones each went to Westlake Excessive College in Atlanta. “Go away these Westlake dudes alone, man. Simply depart ‘em be.”
