Carolina Panthers quarterback and racial injustice protester Cam Newton looked a little shaky on the matter of gender equality Wednesday.
During a press conference, Jourdan Rodrigue, who covers the Carolina Panthers for the Charlotte Observer, asked Newton:
“I know you take a lot of pride in seeing your receivers play well. Devin Funchess has seemed to really embrace the physicality of his routes and getting those extra yards. Does that give you a little bit of enjoyment to see him truck-sticking people?”
Before answering the question, Newton felt obliged to point out the sports writer asking the question was a woman.
“It’s funny to hear a female talk about routes like that,” he said. “It’s funny.”
Looking at the video below, it seems as if Newton expects the rest of the sports writers to laugh at his clip. No laughs are forthcoming, forcing him to then actually answer the question Rodrigue posed.
Still, Rodrigue admitted on Twitter that Newton’s patronizing remarks were uncalled for.
I don't think it's "funny" to be a female and talk about routes. I think it's my job.
