30 Football Players With Dreads - SportyTell

[ConservativeInPA]

They change the rules often enough in the NFL to make the game barely recognizable to old people. In the name of geriatric justice, there should be rule changes to draw old viewers back to pro football. Defenses should be awarded two points and a free kick, for tackling any offensive player by the dreadlocks. Offensive players should be allowed to hold any defensive player by dreadlocks. That might just get me to watch pro football again.

too bad he’s not correct in his accusations. Even the other day Vogelbsch of the Mets looked hideous with his cornroles.

Cam has always loved holding the race card...
He is racist scum...

Cam Newton Backs Away From Fumble- Super Bowl 50

[17th Miss Regt]

I's been hindered. And I'm not changin’," he said on Josina Anderson's "Undefined" podcast.

Silver lining to this. He is standing up for what he believes in (dreadlocks) even though it comes at a significant personal cost (no job).

A lot of politicians could learn from his example - especialy the part about no job.

[If You Want It Fixed - Fix It]

Entertainers must entertain. That is what pays.

I boycot the lot of them.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Whose story sounds just dreadful.

[fhayek]

How much does an NFL quarterback make? What $10 million a year? If this was even remote true, and he still did not cut his dreadlocks, than he is even a bigger idiot that I thought he was.

[Larry Lucido]

I find it funny to hear a washed up football player talk about roots.

Also, simple fix. plenty of barbers out there.

Cam Newton may have suffered too many concussions so he fears CTE in his future. Take away his running game, he’s useless as a QB. That’s what happened after that Super Bowl. I think he’s shell shocked and he’s never the same after that.

I have the opposite problem. I’m not on an NFL roster because I’m bald. The fact that I’m old, slow, can’t throw or jump has nothing to do with this blatant discrimination.

Excellent analogy! I'm still laughing.

[FatherofFive]

Excellent analogy! I'm still laughing.

Glad I could give you a chuckle. I often debated the "Diversity is our strength" bs with HR types. I shoot 85% from the foul line. 60% from 14-18 feet. But I can't jump or play defense. I would add diversity to the NY Knicks, but I wouldn't improve the team.

[where's_the_Outrage?]

I disagree, I believe he was coached to protect himself, risk avoidance. And he did that.

But when you’re in the game of the year, it’s all out. I absolutely believe that if Tom Brady was in that situation he would not have hesitated to dive headfirst into that pile.

So bad coaching, but Cam takes the blame.

[Some Fat Guy in L.A.]

Cam is and always was a schoolyard QB, like Krappernick. When he was a step quicker than everyone else he was able to make it work. No longer.

Of course this notorious fact and its effect was known to all when the Memorandum was executed. Ukraine sought a higher level document was but was refused.

The document was BS but at the same time, Ukraine was able to receive support from USA and UK like they promised to do.

[MinorityRepublican]

Wrong thread.
