He says show me a good loser and I will show you a loser. I guess he does not remember meeting Peyton.
Cam says he is a sore loser3

I'm not a Cam fan. But the press conference afterwards the reporters ask over and over and over the same question. Cam gave the same answer " we were out played".
You could watch the frustration build. I don't blame the guy for walking out. They were just stabbing him over and over until he had enough.

He is a complete jerk. Despite all the personal counseling, media remake, and marketing advice he is still a jerk.
It's not an excuse. Any competitor is going to take losing hard but that doesn't give you a pass to be a tool in defeat. It's possible to take losing hard and handle it with class that doesn't make someone a loser
You mean the Peyton Manning that stomped off the field after he lost to New Orleans in the Superbowl without congratulating anyone . That same one? I don't think what Newton did in the post game was handled correctly but we all have our moments. He went out on the field and congratulated Manning, shook hands and smiled the whole time. That's better to me than giving the same old sound byte about tough loss, blah, blah to the media. It's also a lot easier to be a gracious loser in the Superbowl when you already have one under your belt like Manning and Russel Wilson have displayed.
We cry about the athletes not being real enough and when they are we rip them apart for not being a gracious loser. Newton is an emotional guy, has never lost that type of game in his career. I think he'll learn from it and react better if it happens again but I also give the guy some credit for not backing down and changing his comments a day later.
Sorry but that's every press conference in general. Had they won do you think he would have gotten tired of answering the same redundant questions over and over. Heck I'm a sore loser too but you can still be a sore loser and keep some class about you.
All year long he said "you don't like how I act, then stop me!" Well the Broncos did. If he is going to act all pompous with his dabbing and superman antics and smiling on the sidelines for pictures while the game is still going on, then he has to accept the other side as well. At least better than he did. That was like a 2 year old sulking after not getting his way.
Not making any excuses for Cam. There are none to be made.
Reporter:#1 What do you think went wrong?
Cam: we were out played
Reporter:#2 What do you think went wrong?
Cam: we were out played
Reporter:#3 What do you think went wrong?
Cam: we were out played
Reporter:#4 what do you think went wrong?
Cam: we were out played.
Reporter: #99 What do you think went wrong?
Cam: we were out played.
He acknowledged Denver was the better team.
They were just enjoying curb stomping him.
At some point someone should at least ask a different question.
The problem about Cam isnt about how he acts when he lost. Most competitors are sore losers. Its how he acts when he wins. You cant be a sore winner and a sore loser.
"Classless jerk" have you seen the UK football forums after a loss? lol He fulfilled his 3mins and left due to his emotions and the situation he was put in. He is a young man that gets paid a LOT of money to play a game but he's still human! He is a role model and handled it with class. I would've had some choice words for the dumb a**** on the spot(from the super bowl committee to the reporters). I can handle him being called a whining baby at times but a classless jerk is too far! I just don't know why his smiling is an issue for people. I want to start a new "Why do you hate Cam" thread to try to figure this thing out! He's not hurting anyone(except for that one child he offended with his dancing), he's living his dream the way he chooses to do so. The dabbing and SM is fun and made for an exciting year. It was good for the game and fan base. I know the Panthers and the NFL capitalized on it! Maybe he'll get a State Farm or Skittles endorsement out of all this! Please stop comparing him to Mr. Can Do NO Wrong Peyton! -Sore Loser
all the same people who say this country is becoming too "politically correct", are the same group that says Cam Newton "was not politically correct enough"...
sounds like you only hate politically correctness when it stops YOU from speaking your mind, and that same privilege is not afforded to others.
and let me add... I'm not calling anyone a racist, but this whole Cam Newton ordeal going back to when that woman wrote that letter to Cam about not being a good role model, leading up to this point, has a racial undertone, and feels very much like basically not liking a successful black man because he celebrated a few TD's. Aaron Rodgers celebrates TDs and gets an endorsement... Cam Newton does it and he is classless? double standard much?

In due time Cam will learn to deal with the media in a way that is soothing to the public. My question is why do they have dueling interviews where you can clearly hear Chris Harris of the Broncos talking in the background about how they shut Cam down. All at once he has to listen to this guy gloat, while having the media ask the same question over and over. I think the NFL makes enough money to have separate team interviews.
Cam provide he is an immature child who can't stand to lose and cries about everything and blames everyone else. He needs to grow up and be a professional.
Good lord another race baiter, this has nothing to do with race, he acted like a baby, he did his dance etc and the old saying was if you don't like it stop him, well Denver stopped him and he let his immature self get the better of him. He was gracious out on the field I will give him that, but there have been 49 other QB's who lost the super bowl and had to sit there and go thru what he did, guess what I do not remember any of them, white or black or green and yellow getting up and stomping out like a little kid in a huff. How you handle defeat is just as important as how you handle winning, this is a professional sport.
Cam is a scam, he can dish it out but he can't take it. I do not like him for what he did in college. He is a cheater in my mind, along with the scum handlers at AU. If UK had a qb do what he did we would be on probation for ever. That is why I do not like him or any other cheater in sports.
You have rules to play by, but only a few have to follow. Every time UK has been under the glass we have been punished. There are other teams in the SEC who get away with things all the time. I would hope that all schools are treated the same.
Hopefully he will grow up a little, maybe he will learn from this experience. I hope that he does, he is still young. GBB

Seems to me to be a 26 year old that never really lost before. Definitely a bad look. Worse is saying he didn't try for the last fumble because he didn't want to get hurt. I'm sure his offensive line is scratching their heads on that.
Lotta rehab on a public image coming up.

This. Manning has been a total jerk after many losses, thrown teammates under the bus (blamed his O-Line for the loss the year I think they lost to the Steelers in 2005 "I think") and many other incidents over the years. Manning is some golden boy white guy though so he gets a pass and people forget his antics in the past. I don't usually mention the R word in sports discussions but it 100% is in play with the Cam hate vs. ignoring it when someone like Peyton does it over the years again and again.
I've seen more of a scandal on the little league level in FL! If this is your reason for not liking him, I suggest you move on. Just like we moved on and dare to bring up Peyton putting his pkg on a female or his "wife" receiving HGH in the mail! You can't find an article without them mentioning Winston's college antics. This is why the race always comes up! Some people choose to hold on to irrelevant and damaging actions of certain people and not others. I'm a Cam fan for what he's done(on and off the field) since he's been in the league. He's definitely matured since arriving and will continue to do so.
It only has a racial undertone because Cam is an African American. White players are criticized as well for similar antics. Think the Marshall Henderson kid from Ole Miss' basketball team a few years ago or currently Johnny Manziels off filed issues and I am not referring to his latest domestic issue. Sorry but it gets under my skin anytime something is said about an African American that it carries a racial undertone. its like its taboo to say anything derogatory in any way against someone that isn't white because it carries the perceived racial undertone. There are many many successful African Americans in the sport of football so save me the not liking a successful black man garbage. You called out the girl from Seattle and her letter and her own QB is an African American so do you see the irony in that.
I know it was just a playoff game, but here are some comparisons from losing QBs:

All those that say this has ANYTHING to do with race are just lazy. This isn't about race, this about a grown man acting like a child. He wouldn't get the ridicule he is getting now if he didn't act like a kardashian attention ***** when things are going well. He is the poster boy of the male millennials.
There are whites, blacks, Asians, Hispanics, and any other type of person you can think of that act just like him, and all walks of life that act much better than him. It's NOT a race issue.
You can't act a fool when your winning and forget that there is an opposite side to the coin. There is a LOT to be said about humility, class, and professionalism, but many today don't have a clue about any of it, they just make the rules up as they go.

Only half the point. I expect competitors to be pissed when they lose. How does he act when hes winning? Thats the real issue.
If youre going to dab after every first down, then get ready for criticism when you dont dive on a fumble well within your reach in the superbowl.
Im a fan, but dont dish it out if you cant take it.
A jerk is a jerk regardless of skin color.
And Cam is a jerk. Stephen A.Smith said it best the other night.
He basically said Cam paraded around all year acting cocky and full of himself. And said if people don't like the way I am and play then stop me! Stephen A. said the Broncos did just that.

It has nothing to do with being "politically correct". It has to do with being mature and having class. Cam is a narcissistic egomaniac.
Count me in the camp, of who gives a rat's ***! It's a non-story, and I am not a Cam Newton fan. But some of these reporters are dip sticks too, how bout changing gears and ask something original. Hell, you may have even gotten him to talk and had a real story.
Superbowl 50 is in the books, let's move on, nothing to see here.

I'm a panthers fan having lived in SC and a Cam fan. But the Rodgers comparison is bogus. Celebrating is one thing but a celebration that takes 5 seconds is the equivalent to Can doing the superman. Nobody had a problem with that. It became a topic when it became over the top and elaborate and drawn out.
I don't really care about the celebrating because I'm a believer in if you don't like it then stop them from having a reason to celebrate. But that Rodgers counter argument they kne to make this a race thing just isn't the same thing. Nobody cared when Daunte Culpepper did his "Roll on" because it was short and concise.
Regardless of his immature actions he needs to realize, and the Carolina organization, that Cams pocket passing skills were exposed as we're his ability to read a very good defense. Other teams will take note and unless he improves he could be another Vince Young.l
My favorite argument to his actions is, "I'm not going to be someone else. I'm gonna be me."
.....as if you can't be a better version of yourself?

Well Manning likes to t-bag women so...again...not sure why people give him a pass and respect him so much.
Newton is a douche, but Manning is a bit of one too!
