Cam Newton: I am a Falcons fan all but 2 days a year.... WTF?

[PATRIOTSFANINPA]

Do these players know when to shut up?

Cam Newton a Falcons fan, but only for 363 days a year - NFL - Sporting News

......First it was Kaepernick pissing off 49ers fans by wearing the Dolphins cap but I think this is worse because not only is Cam saying he is a Falcons fan except for 2 times a year but he is also on a team in the same division as Atlanta!

What happens if Atlanta is going to play Carolina late in the season and the playoffs for the Falcons are on the line while Carolina is already eliminated from the postseason....does Cam throw the game?...some Panther fans may think so.

I can't imagine Gronk proclaiming he is a Bills fan because he is from that area...even if he was,even Gronk isn't that stupid to say so.

I think Brady still has love for the 49ers in his heart but he also is not going to say he is because he has brains ...its just something you should be quiet about.

The abject stupidity of these muscle heads and their inbred cousin sports writers never ceases to amaze me.

 

[Oswlek]

Meh. Not bothered by this one. :confused2:

 

[chasa]

Kap and the dolphins hat? I get it, you like to wear a lot of different hats, its cool whatever.

Cam saying hes a falcons fan 363 days a year?! are you ******ed cam? jesus they are in YOUR DIVISION!

That would be like tom brady saying hes a jet fan 363 days a year. Its insane.

The commericial with the little kid asking cam newton questions about how the kid is going to get draft #1 and make panthers fans forget about him, and how the kid is going to be cams moms favorite player could happen sooner then he thinks.

 

[PATRIOTSFANINPA]

I am sure Panthers fans are going Livid....and they have a right to as Atlanta is most likely the most hated division opponent among all the others in that division...primarily because the Falcons and Matt Ryan are pretty darn good and a SB contender this year.

Okay, OP. Lets say youre a football player. Really good one. Youre a big Pats fan. You get drafted by the Miami Dolphins. Are you going to just stop being a fan of the team you've been pulling for your whole life?? Its not Cams fault he ended up in ATL's division. When youre a big fan of a team, its really hard to let go of the passion for the team.

I never said I was against him being a fan of a team but to proclaim it to the press is another thing.

Some things you should keep to YOURSELF as a professional athlete and especially in the same division.....this is one of them.

If you say you wouldn't be pissed if Brady suddenly said 'I have always been a Jets fan' except for 2 days a year to the press...I would call you a liar.

You don't have to stop pulling for that team. But you should probably shut up about it, as opposed to telling the press and the entire world.

I have no interest in Tom Brady, the person. His likes/dislikes are completely meaningless to me. He could dress up like fireman Ed on his days off and it wouldn't bother me as long as he throws 40 TDs.

Fair enough, but don't knock on the guy for being a lifelong loyal fan.

It would be asinine to remain a fan of a division rival.

It would be even more asinine to admit it.

No offense, but :bricks:

no its not cams fault, but you know what, it doesnt matter.

Cams whole career right now hinges on the Panthers actually winning games(they have not since he arrived) and to come out and say he loves the falcons who consistently win their division.

Its gotta get some fans wondering if maybe Cam is tanking games on purpose so that the falcons have an easier road to the division title.

I'll bet team ownership is just thrilled. Such public idiocy is not fan inducement to attend or watch games.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

It's bad for a # of reasons. For one, his team would finish higher in the standings if the Falcons lost more on those other days. But instead he's pulling for them to win. That's not good.

At least with Kaperdink the Dolphins have little to no affect on SF's place, if anything cheering for the Dolphins would help their position against the few NFC teams they play.

Jesus H Christ. Well if that isn't about the dumbest thing that's been said or done by a footballer since the last time a Pouncey had a photo taken.

 

[lurker1965]

He is stupid, but I give the moron a pass.

He said it to an Atlanta paper. Being a moron he probably thought he was catering to his audience and that it would not get back to the Carolinas.

I can see his intent was harmless; but he is still a moron nonetheless.

Is it wrong for a guy who works at Ford to buy and prefer Chevy's?

It's not like Jermaine Wiggins poured acid on his Pat Patriot tattoo when he went to the Jets.

Christ. It's just a job to a lot of these guys.

Ya'll mother ****ers need perspective.
