Oh no Cam Newton what are you doing? During today’s Panthers press conference Charlotte Observer beat reporter Jourdan Rodrigue asked a routine question to Cam Newton to which he replied “It’s funny to hear a female talk about routes.” Jourdain and several reporters took to Twitter to crush Newton over his sexist remark.

Better get used to it, Cam Newton. We "females" are not going anywhere. We love football, KNOW football, enjoy talking about football.

Ladies – do not feel forced into defending our sports knowledge. This is on Cam Newton – NOT ON US. Unacceptable in 2017 to go back to this

Unfortunately, Cam Newton's sexism happens more than people think. We get this from athletes, coaches, colleague, readers, viewers…

Cam Newton kicks off October’s NFL Wear Pink campaign in a very NFL way.
