Dannon Drops Cam Newton After Sexist Comments
Oh, Cam! You really should watch what you say.
ICYMI, Pathers' Quarterback Cam Newton is getting a lot of negative press after a comment he made to a female Charlotte Observer reporter yesterday.
The reporter, Jourdan Rodrigue, asked Cam about routes during yesterday's press conference. He seemed taken back by her question and laughed. Rodrigue even tried to speak with Cam after and he still didn't apologize.
I don't think it's "funny" to be a female and talk about routes. I think it's my job.

I don't know what routes are in reference to football, but I'm also not a sports reporter. It's part of her job to understand all the inside terms and workings of sports.
Now the fallout begins as Cam has lost his first endorsement deal. Cam helped launch Dannon's Oikos brand years ago, but the company no longer wants to work with him after his remarks.
We’re disheartened by Cam Newton’s behavior, which we perceive as sexist. We shared our concerns with Cam & will no longer work with him.

So when will Cam apologize to Rodrigue?
