Cam's first-down celebrations really bother a lot of people. Why?

[camycamcan]

My grandpa hates that too

[The NFL Shield At Midfield]

Rodgers was karate chopping first downs on a 6-10 packers team

Somebody stop him he's having fun!

[Silent Majority]

Lol....fug jim celania, chris "the ravens fan" mcclain and the other guy who is a jets/giants/whoever fan. Charlotte has to be one of, if not, the only major sports city, where ALL of the radio personalities aren't even fans if the goddamn team first!

Bitches gonna bitch.

If Cam wants to get revived up and show some emotion by giving the "FIRST DOWN" sign that is great because it  shows he's into the game.The one's that don't like him doing this are probably the same people that would want football to revert back to the leather helment,no face guard,single wing wing football era..

People on the radio, the office, and my own old-ass dad have been going off on this today. It's been the #1 topic of conversation I've seen people having after yesterday.

 

I think you'll find that Panthers fans that aren't on the Huddle are very different from Panthers fans that are on the Huddle.

i dont doubt that.  the cam haters needed something desperately to whine about last year since we were winning, i just assumed losing created other more important things to whine about.

Bingo!!!!! I often listen to their show because nothing else is worth listening to on the drive in  to work. I also find it odd that they are not diehard Panthers fans, since they work for a radio station located in the heart of the Carolina Panther fanbase.

Not sure why it bothers anyone

[MadHatter]

Don't really have any issue with it.

 

However, I have never liked it when a player celebrates every first down.  Celebrate big plays....key first downs...touchdowns, etc.

 

Every 1st down is just a bit much

[Huffgolf30]

I'm a big cam fan, but the celebrations get old. How many times can you celebrate? Just win the %**%ing game.

[JJman]

Honestly, who gives a fug what Cam does when it comes to something as small as that. People are so fuging uptight now it's insane.

[TheRed]

This is the cliche answer, but... I think it's a big part of it unfortunately.  About 99% of the people I see talking poo about Cam... calling him "Sir Cameron Newton: Leader of Men, Lover of Puppies...Esquire" etc., are bitter white guys.

 

 

 

This is also my answer to those criticizing Cam... the PA announcer makes a HUGE deal of first downs in the stadium and everyone in the hyped up sections does the point when we get a 1st down.  Why shouldn't Cam?

 

 

Edit:  Nice filter there mods...   I typed "S-cam Newton" in reference to what was being said, fyi... 

 

Yep, same for all those who were relentless in letting anyone and everyone know how big of a bust they thought he'd be. Bitter white guys.

 

I have no problem with it at all, but when I see him do it I know there is some old white guy somewhere getting bent out of shape because "football was never like this back in my day!". Unfortunately there are still people who think it's 1950, and players shouldn't show emotion.

Well, at least he's not jumping in the air and busting his ACL like Houston and that Lions player did.
