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
Wednesday, Newton added fuel to the massive national race
conversation by providing his explanation for all the heat he�s
taken, for all the letters that parents have written to
newspapers and websites criticizing his most minor missteps.
It is because he�s black.
�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.
