Cam Newton Tries To Explain His Controversial Comments About Women

Free agent quarterback Cam Newton found himself as the subject of controversy last week.

While making a podcast appearance, Newton had some questionable things to say about what he wants out of his woman.

“Now, a woman for me is handling your own but knowing how to cater to a man’s needs,” Newton said. “And I think a lot of times when you get that aesthetic of: ‘I’m a boss (expletive), Imma this, Imma that.’ No, baby. But you can’t cook. You don’t know when to be quiet. You don’t know how to allow a man to lead.”

Yesterday, Cam Newton released an eight minute video where he tried to explain his comments.

“When you’re doing a podcast,” Newton said via PFT, “there’s multiple topics that’s being thrown at you at a time. Like, how do you feel about this? How do you feel about that? Cam, how do you feel about your NFL career? Cam, how do you feel about being a father? You know, you have seven kids. You have this and you have that. And it’s being looked at like it’s overwhelming to one hand but also it’s like if you want to scrutinize and look at every single thing that I said, you can’t just pick two lines. Look at the totality.”

Cam Newton currently remains a free agent, but he’s holding out hope that some NFL team comes calling.

After making his return to Carolina last season, Newton struggled mightily. He threw just four touchdowns to go along with five interceptions during his five game stint as the team’s starting quarterback.

We’ll see if someone wants to give Cam Newton another chance to prove he belongs in the NFL.
