Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton issued a response Friday to an otherwise mundane Instagram post on Thursday that garnered some backlash and intimations that he was a “thug” or in a gang. Because you know, people have to make an issue out of anything.
@IamJoeSports
Cam posted a picture with his friends in Mexico just having a good, fun time. Morons tried to go in on him for being a bad example and wanna be gang member or “thug”.
Here are just a few of the many examples that were left in the comments section
@pappyhenzAndrew Luck would never act this way – Actingnlike Mexican thugs who’ve killed and raped innocents people is bullshit boy – Grow up
@u_aintseriousIs this the “Panther Crips, or Bloods?”
@indubitably_mcginnisHmmm….something for the children to aspire to
@brandroid7I glad he is being such a great role model to our youth
Cam fired back with a picture of the same group of friends with the caption:
