Female Sports Reporter Appalled by NFL Star Cam Newton’s ‘Sexist’ Comment

There is fallout for Carolina Panthers star quarterback Cam Newton after a sexist exchange with a female sports reporter Wednesday afternoon. The reporter, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Charlotte Observer, asked about the "routes" that Newton used in practice that day. "It's just so funny to hear a female talk about routes," he said. "It just is." The room fell dead silent and the reporter said she was taken aback. The blowback is gaining steam. Dannon yogurt severed ties with Newton as of Thursday.
