NFL free agent quarterback Cam Newton brought some unwanted attention to himself this week.
The former MVP with the Carolina Panthers has upset many with his negative comments toward women after saying in an interview that some women “don’t know when to be quiet” and “don’t know how to allow a man to lead.”
