But Cam is simply a football fan playing football. He’s just like you. He lives and dies with every play, every quarter, and every game.
Why You’re Wrong About Cam Newton (And His Presser)

Except the vast majority of football fans never get the same salary, endorsements, media exposure, and pop cultural impact that Cam Newton has. When you have the privilege of a higher economic and social status because of your talent, people expected you to also have a higher standard of character. Yes, it sucks to lose the Superbowl. No one was expecting Cam to walk into the conference with a big, fake smile, but people were expecting him to not act like a 10 year old playing Call of Duty. The fact is that while he has plenty of talent, he is a sore winner and loser. If he doesn’t learn to be more humble or at least pretend to be more humble for the cameras, that’s going to bring his career down.
