My thoughts on Cam Newton's Tom Brady criticism

I wanted to get to an item that recently caught my eye involving former Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton on his YouTube show fourth and one I was a guest on the indu ball week actually enjoyed it cam spoke about the perceived racial discrepancies when it comes to White professional athletes like Tom Brady Tony Romo and Troy Aman who seemingly skipped the line when it comes to opportunities to sign Mega profitable TV contracts in the broadcasting Booth after their retirement from sports for reference seven time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady signed a 10 year $375 million contract with Fox Sports in May 2022 to become their top NFL analyst he will finally make his broadcasting debut this fall months after retiring for the Philadelphia Eagles Jason Kelce signed a multi-year contract with the ESPN and will join a Monday night countdown pregame crew and will be an analyst for the Monday night football halftime program cam questioned why the same opportunities aren't given to athletes of color to and he said this quote I'm always going to tell Tom Brady Tony Romo Greg Olsson Troy Aman Matt Ryan to go get the bag what I am doing is saying how in the world are they the only ones that's getting access to these types of contracts because somebody told me well you don't get these contracts because you're not polished yet what type of media training did Tony Romo have before he just popped up commentating on the game end quote let me try to be highly sensitive to this cuz this is my brother we talk about Cam Newton here take Tom Brady out of the qu out of the sentence take him off the subject matter he's a seven time Super Bowl champion okay he has the credentials to talk football he knows it inside out as a quarterback a Super Bowl champion quarterback you played the same position you went to one Super Bowl and lost he won seven he went to 10 you see the difference you can't put Tom Brady you got a point with Tony Romo I'm not talking about Tony Romo's talent in the booth I'm talking about the road he traveled to get to the booth you do have a point there but one could argue he's a Cowboy Take Troy Aman out three time Super Bowl champion for the Dallas Cowboys so not only does he have the backdrop and the cache and the prowess of being a former Cowboy American amica's team worth 9 billion when everybody else is worth 5 billion with com commanders Josh Harris bought that for 6 billion with his group but the Cowboys do resonate so you can't use Troy Aman who's got that N3 Super Bowl championships and you're damn sure can't bring Tom Brady into the equation when you win Seven Super Bowls when you won more Super Bowls and Terry Brasher then Joe Montana then Troy Aman then Steve Young then John lway then Roger starbar when you've won more Super Bowls than anybody in the sport when you yourself as an individual has won more Super Bowls than 99% of the teams in the league actually 100% because I don't know one one franchise that has seven Super Bowl championships cuz he got one with tamper you can't question anything about Tom Brady 10 years $375 million damn it he deserves every penny Troy aan deserves his bag Tony Romo he was a cowboy he's damn good at his job but cam makes a good point Matt Ryan yet to be seen went to Super Bowl through a 25 blew a 25-point lead never won a Super Bowl championship might be going to the Hall of Fame but I get where Cam's coming from overall cam here's what it gets back to you have to look the part to some degree be the part you have to be somebody it ain't just about being polished it's about a willingness to be it's not about telling the world you want to do what you want to do when you want to do it how you want to do it but I want your money you got to show a willingness to capitulate to those who are paying the money and what they want to some degree not totally we ain't talking about selling your soul we're not talking about shedding who you are and what you bring to the table but if the look along with how polished you come across is what matters to them and they're the ones with the bag if you want the bag you got to capitulate see what we got to stop doing is lying to people especially youngsters going to come up you can do what you want to do when you want to do it how you want to do with it without giving the damn about what anybody else wants or what anybody else feels but I still want your money no go ahead and pay yourself if you want somebody else's money you got to give them a little bit of what they want too so how you present yourself matters your willingness to listen matters your ability to articulate and disseminate a message to the masses in a fashion that everybody can comprehend where you're coming from and what you're trying to say matters that's just the way that it is I'm not talking about right and wrong because that could be debated till the cows come home I'm talking reality that's what you got to know damn right there should be some brothers in the booth Monday night football stuff like that Lewis rck was in that Monday night Booth a couple of years ago and he's fabulous he was in there you didn't bring him up let's think about it cam I appreciate the question you being a conscientious Observer love you for that bro but you got to take all things into consideration
