The former Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton is mired in controversies over his latest remark about women in society. As soon as the fans and celebrity world started lashing at him, the quarterback came forward to cover his statements by claiming that he is not a “Sexist”.

The recent justifications that Newton put forward were through his YouTube channel. Last Sunday, while speaking to Barstool Sports, Newton opened up on various matters that included views about women in society. By citing an example of his parents, the QB seamlessly went on to speak his heart which landed him in trouble later on.

What were the controversial statements?

The 33-year-old quarterback was at the center of hatred for a few days. In an appearance on the Barstool Sports Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast, Newton explained his perspective of how an ideal woman should be.

“I had a perfect, a perfect example of what a man was in my life by my father,” Newton said in the episode. “My parents have been together for 36, 37 years now and it’s a beautiful thing. I grew up in a three-parent household: my mom, my father, and my grandmother and I knew what a woman was, not a bad (expletive), a woman,” Newton added to his statements. While the next following statements are what have irked the fans and celebrities from Hollywood.

“Now, a woman for me is handling your own but knowing how to cater to a man’s needs. Right? 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.” Newton added.

Cam Newton justifies his statements

After receiving criticism over his comments about women’s role in society, Newton insisted that he is not a “Sexist.” “I never wanted to demonize or to shrink women’s power in America,” Newton said. In his attempt to clarify the comments, Newton said that he expects the same attitude from the men in society. According to him, it was more inclusive and less abrasive.

“I should have said on top of what I also said and mentioned that not only should a woman know when to be quiet, a man also should know when to be quiet,” Newton added to his statements.

The former MVP marked his entry with the Carolina Panthers in 2011. Moreover, the player is also a Heisman Trophy winner. In terms of passing yards, he is 44th in NFL history with 32,382 yardage. The running abilities are what made Newton a star during his prime. But his recent comments didn’t go well with the fans, making them react despite his performances in the past.
