>> NFL QUARTERBACK CAM NEWTON IS MAKING HEADLINES FOR HIS
RESPONSE TO A FEMALE REPORTER'S QUESTION, TAKE A LOOK.
>> I KNOW YOU TAKE A LOT OF PRIDE IN SEEING YOUR RECEIVERS
PLAY WELL.
DEVIN FUNCHESS HAS SEEMED TO EMBRACE THE
PHYSICALITY OF HIS ROUTES AND GETTING THOSE EXTRA YARDS.
DOES
THAT GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF ENJOYMENT TO SEE HIM KIND OF --
>>IT'S FUNNY TO HEAR A FEMALE TALK ABOUT ROUTES.
IT'S FUNNY.
BUT FUN IS COMING ALONG, MAN.
THIS IS A BIG GAME FOR HIM
BECAUSE OF HIM BEING FROM DETROIT.
>>THAT WASN'T A PARTICULARLY FUNNY QUESTION.
JOURDAN RODRIGUE
WAS THE BEAT REPORTER FOR THE CAROLINA PANTHERS, SHE HAS SAID
ON TWITTER THAT SHE WASN'T ASKING ABOUT ROUTES TO BE FUNNY,
IT WAS HER JOB.
SO PEOPLE ARE ASKING IF SHE SPOKE WITH CAM NEWTON AFTER
THIS REACTION, SHE SAID ON TWITTER --
>> A LOT OF MEDIA ORGANIZATIONS
HAVE SPOKEN OUT ABOUT CAM'S
RESPONSE, PEOPLE ARE SAYING IT WAS AN APPROPRIATE.
ONE IS THE
ASSOCIATION FOR WOMEN IN SPORTS MEDIA, THEY SAID THE FOLLOWING
--
>>
A LOT OF PEOPLE I HAVE SEEN ONLINE, I TALKED ABOUT THIS WITH
THE TYT SPORTS TEAM, THEY ARE EXCELLENT, CHECK OUT THEIR
CHANNEL, ARE SAYING WHAT IS THE IMPORTANCE OF HAVING FEMALE
REPRESENTATION IN A MALE- DOMINATED INDUSTRY?
50% OF NFL
FANS ARE WOMEN, THEY SHOULD BE REPRESENTED BECAUSE WITHOUT FANS
THERE IS NO LEAGUE.
DANNON IS NOT RENEWING THEIR CONTRACT WITH
HIM. AND WE HAVE A FEMALE PANEL TO ADDRESS THOSE REMARKS.
WHAT
WAS YOUR RESPONSE?
>>I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HIM SO WAS I SURPRISED?
NO.
I
DON'T KNOW WHO HE IS, BUT I'M NOT SURPRISED BECAUSE THAT
MENTALITY STILL EXISTS IN THE SPORTS WORLD, WHERE IT'S
SURPRISING TO SOME PEOPLE THAT WOMEN ARE INTERESTED IN SPORTS
OR WANT TO REPORT ON SPORTS, AND I'M ALSO NOT SURPRISED BECAUSE
IT INVOLVES AN NFL PLAYER, AND THE CULTURE AROUND THE NFL, EVEN
CONSIDERING THE FACT THAT 50%, OR HALF, OF THEIR VIEWERS ARE
WOMEN, AND HALF OF THEIR CONSUMERS ARE WOMEN, MORE
IMPORTANTLY, THEY STILL TRY TO BACK THEIR PLAYERS IN DOMESTIC
ASSAULT CASES, THOSE STORIES WERE RUNNING RAMPANT A COUPLE
YEARS AGO, THEY BACK THEIR PLAYERS WHEN IT COMES TO MOST
SITUATIONS AND THEY TRY TO BRUSH IT UNDER THE RUG. AND EVEN
TODAY, I FORGET WHICH NFL OFFICIAL IT WAS, I WAS LISTENING
TO HIS STATEMENT AND HE ESSENTIALLY SAID, HE KIND OF
BRUSHED IT OFF AND SAID I WOULD RATHER TALK ABOUT THIS UPCOMING
GAME, AND IMMEDIATELY TALKED ABOUT THE GAME.
I THINK IT'S
IMPORTANT TO CONSIDER THAT IN A LOT OF HOUSEHOLDS, THE FEMALE
HAS A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF BUYING POWER.
SHE BUDGETS THE
MONEY.
I'M NOT SAYING THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO
CONSIDER, BUT FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE LIKE WHO CARES, YOU ARE
HURTING FEELINGS AND IT'S NOT A BIG DEAL, IT WILL HURT YOUR
BOTTOM LINE.
IF YOU THINK IT'S NOT THAT BIG OF A DEAL WE WILL
SEE HOW THAT TURNS OUT WHEN YOUR TICKET SALES DECREASED AND YOUR
MERCHANDISE SALES DECREASE.
AND ONE OTHER THING, SOMEONE HAD
MENTIONED TO ME, I WAS DEBATING A MAN OVER THIS, AND HE'S LIKE I
DON'T THINK THAT'S WHAT HE MEANT.
I WAS LIKE, OKAY, WHAT
DID HE MEAN?
DOES ANYONE HAVE AN ANSWER FOR THAT?
THE INDIVIDUAL
I WAS DEBATING COULDN'T GIVE ME AN ANSWER.
>>ABOUT WHAT HIS INTENTION COULD HAVE BEEN?
>>LIKE, WHAT WAS HE IMPLYING BY LAUGHING?
>>WHAT I WOULD THINK IS THAT HE PROBABLY IS INTERVIEWED A LOT BY
MEN WHO ARE NOT PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL PLAYERS.
IT WOULD BE
DIFFERENT IF SHE WAS PLAYING ARMCHAIR QUARTERBACK AND SAID
YOU MISSED THAT THROW, I COULD HAVE DONE THAT -- PEOPLE DO THAT
SOMETIMES, THAT'S NOT WHAT SHE DID -- BUT IF JOURDAN WAS A MAN
I DON'T THINK HE WOULD HAVE FOUND THE QUESTION AS FUNNY EVEN
THOUGH THE REPORTER DIDN'T HAVE FOOTBALL EXPERIENCE.
THE ONLY
THING I COULD THINK OF IS THAT HE'S LAUGHING AT A REPORTER
ASKING A QUESTION THAT HE PRESUMES SHE WOULD HAVE NO
EXPERIENCE OVER, BUT YOU DON'T NEED TO HAVE PLAYED THE SPORT TO
HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF IT.
>>HE SPECIFICALLY MENTIONED FEMALE.
HIS WORDING WAS SO
SPECIFIC, I FIND IT FUNNY THAT A FEMALE IS MENTIONING ROUTES.
>>WHAT IT HAD BEEN DIFFERENT IF HE SAID I FIND IT FUNNY THAT A
REPORTER IS ASKING ABOUT ROUTES?
WOULD THIS BE A NEWS STORY?
>>MAYBE
SOME PEOPLE WOULD MAKE IT A NEWS STORY BUT I DON'T THINK IT WOULD
BE AS CLEAR, AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF WE WOULD TALK ABOUT IT.
>>MOST REPORTERS HAVEN'T PLAYED, THAT'S WHY THEY ARE REPORTING.
THE STORY IS THE OBVIOUS SEXISM.
WHAT BOTHERS ME IS THAT HE
LAUGHS IN HER FACE.
IT IS STUPID.
>>SO CONDESCENDING.
>>AND TO YOUR POINT ABOUT THE BOTTOM LINE, YOU LOST A YOGURT
ENDORSEMENT, BITCHES EAT YOGURT.
YOU HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION, WHAT
ARE YOU DOING?
>>HE
IS STILL SIGNED TO UNDER ARMOUR, THEY AREN'T GOING TO BUDGE.
>>THEY ARE PROBLEMATIC FOR DIFFERENT REASONS, BUT THIS
STORY IS A GOOD LESSON IN INTERSECTIONALITY IN THAT IT
CAME OUT THAT THIS REPORTER IN HER BACKGROUND HAS SOME
UNSAVORY, POTENTIALLY RACIST TWEETS, SO NOW THE CONVERSATION
IS ABOUT IS SHE RACIST, HE IS SEXIST -- AGAIN MY MOTTO IS THAT
TWO THINGS CAN BE TRUE.
EVERYONE NEEDS TO GET THEIR POLITICS
TOGETHER.
CAM, NFL, GET YOUR GENDER POLITICS TOGETHER.
>>AND OUR SPORTS TEAM BROUGHT UP THAT THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF A
DOUBLE STANDARD, THEY CITED ROB GRONKOWSKI AS ANOTHER NFL
PLAYER, THEY SAID HE HAS MADE INAPPROPRIATE REMARKS TO FEMALE
REPORTERS, AND I DON'T KNOW THE SPECIFICS, BUT I TRUST OUR TEAM
VERY MUCH AND HE SAID THAT WHEN HE DOES THIS HE IS MESSING
AROUND, CAM NEWTON MAKES THIS REMARK, WHICH IS STILL
DISRESPECTFUL, AND HE COMES UNDER NATIONAL MEDIA SCRUTINY.
ROB GRONKOWSKI IS A WHITE PLAYER, JUST FOR REFERENCE.
>>ALL OF THIS IS RACIALIZED.
OUR PRESIDENT IS NOT UNDER SCRUTINY,
DOESN'T FALL UNDER THE SAME KIND OF SCRUTINY, AND HE HAS SAID
AWFUL THINGS ABOUT WOMEN.
BUT I DO THINK TWO THINGS CAN BE TRUE.
IF WE DON'T WANT TO BE DISRESPECTED, LET'S WORK ON OUR
RACE POLITICS, GENDER POLITICS, POLITICS AROUND SEX -- WE NEED
TO BE BETTER.
AND I THINK IT'S INTERESTING THAT THESE TWO
THINGS KIND OF COME TO THE FORE AT THE SAME TIME.
