Cam Newton came into the league with plenty of baggage. He clearly took some dolla bills to go to Auburn but honestly what big time college athlete hasn't. I have no problem with it, these guys are the only reason schools stay afloat. But to people who think they are above it all, it was a huge problem and along with some of his mechanical issues there was some concern surrounding him when the Carolina Panthers took him number one overall. But now that he has played mediocre enough in the preseason to lead a shitty Panthers team into the regular season the owner has another message for his new star, don't act black. Panthers owner, Jerry Richardson suggested to big Cam that he not get any tattoos or piercing during his stay in the Carolina's so they can appeal to a broader audience. This is an actual convo that Richardson recalls having with Newton
“Do you have any tattoos?” he asked.
“No, sir,” Newton said. “I don’t have any.”
“We want to keep it that way,” Richardson said. “We want to keep no tattoos, no piercings, and I think you’ve got a very nice haircut.”
I see good things in the Panthers future as long as they keep those nice haircuts.
