Whaaaaaa...

Newton said he fully believes that his race unfortunately plays a role in how people view him because he doesn’t necessarily “fit the mold” of the league’s many white quarterbacks in the past.

Although some people won’t admit it, the reason why they are uncomfortable with Newton — his dancing, confidence and skill set — is because he is black.

The 26-year-old also said he understands that no matter what he does and what he accomplishes, people will formulate reasons to criticize him.

Sounds like the world revolves around Cam Newton.

“...he understands that no matter what he does and what he accomplishes, people will formulate reasons to criticize him...”

How is that different from Brady, the Mannings, Y.A. Tittle, et al?

Why does he think people are uncomfortable with him? Being black, or being a black quarterback, dancing on the field, or having confidence, etc. is hardly unique in the NFL, where about 80% of the players are black.

The Denver defense was not uncomfortable with him at all.

He relieved his critics of the burden of "formulation" and presented them with an open act of cowardice.
