He's far from any Pro Black activist and everyone knows that. He's far from Pro Black period but he's in the eye of the storm and he's one of the few that is reasonable for us to bring up in most race convos.Some of y'all really trying to make Cam into Huey Newton, Bobby Seale and Malcolm X all rolled in one.
Media really running with this race shyt like the Broncos ain't mostly black.

also more racist, kkk, lynchings, etc in Carolina![]()
Agreed, New England's STAUNCH pro-slavery stance leading up to the Civil War is unforgivable1. Black people shouldn't support any New England sports team regardless of the context
2. Different sports. Our dominance is firmly established in all aspects of Basketball. In football, there are still some CACs who think black men are too intellectually stupid to play QB

Cam Newton is the heart of the team. As good a linebacker as he is, nobody is writing articles about Luke or choosing to root for/against the Panthers because of Luke.
Thats because Cam's loud and wants attention. Got nothin to do with heart. I'm not saying he doesn't have any but Lukes held that team together since the beginning.
The heart is the guy who is most important to the team and whom people see as the leader who represents the team. Cam is that guy. People choose whether to support the Panthers based on whether they like the color (no pun intended) of the team's heart.
I respect your opinion but take away the heart of the defense that has carried Cam for most of his success and I guarantee you they won't be where they at now.
Cam's the voice.
Cam with no weapons carries the Panthers more than Kuechly alongside Pro Bowlers Thomas Davis, Kawaan Short and Josh Norman.
the media is loving this shyt, nothing does numbers in america like race.
the only thing that would make them bust all over themselves more would be if Cam knocked up Adele
At no point this season have I seen Cam and the offense have to carry their defense....it was rare if it happened. The defense sets the pace and carries the offense just about every game. Which is why the offense gets so much heat for becoming too conservative after the defense builds large leads.
Cam is the fulcrum of the offense and the reason Carolina is even able to win games for having no weapons outside of the tight end. Without Cam the offense is dead in the water. Without Kuechly the defense isn't as good but still has the likes of Thomas Davis, Kawaan Short and Josh Norman. The team loses more with Cam's absence and substitution for an average player than with Kuechly's. So Cam is the heart of the team. Kuechly is like the right arm.
Once again though this goes back to who is the heart of the team. Which Cam has referred to Luke being it. You take away Luke from that Pro Bowl defensive unit there's going to be some dysfunction. Obviously not to be compared to losing your starting QB. Considering QB is the most important position.
Cam hasn't been forced to open up the playbook more because his defense sets him up for success every game. Therefor we haven't seen him get put in situations where the game depends on him this season. I'm from Raleigh, 6 months ago I couldn't even buy a conversation about the Panthers. It's nice but at the same time not really because I've seen the process before the success. Most haven't.
