Well, somebody finally said it. And maybe it had to come from
Cam Newton all along.
This is how the Carolina Panthers’ suddenly superstar
quarterback kicked off the lead-up to Super Bowl 50: On

taken, for all the letters that parents have written to
newspapers and websites criticizing his most minor missteps.

“I’ve said this since Day One,” Newton said. “I’m an African-
American quarterback that scares people because they haven’t
seen nothing that they can compare me to.
