Welp, that’s not gonna land you a job…
Free agent quarterback Cam Newton isn’t doing himself any favors in his latest interview, which has now caught the attention of the internet… unfortunately for him.
Sitting down with the Barstool Sports podcast, Million Dollarz Worth Of Game, Cam started talking about his upbringing, saying that he was raised in a “three-parent” household.
Referring to his father and mother, who have been married for over 35 years, his grandmother also played a pivotal role in his childhood:
“I had a perfect, a perfect example of what a man was in my life by my father. My parents have been together for 36, 37 years now and it’s a beautiful thing.
I grew up in a three-parent household. My mom, my father, and my grandmother. And I knew what a woman was, not a bad bitch.”
However, what he said next set the internet ablaze:
“A bad bitch is a person who is just, you know, ‘Girl, I’m a bad bitch, I’m doing this, I’m doing that. I look the part but I don’t act that part.’
And there’s a lot of women who are bad bitches, and I say bitches in a way not to degrade a woman, but just to go off the aesthetic of what they deem is a boss chick.
Now, a woman for me is, handling your own but knowing how to cater to a man’s needs right? And I think a lot of times when you get that aesthetic of, ‘I’m a boss bitch, Imma this, Imma that.’
No, baby. But you can’t cook. You don’t know when to be quiet. You don’t know how to allow a man to lead.”
Here’s the clip from the podcast:
NFL quarterback Cam Newton complained about women who "can't cook" and "don’t know when to be quiet."

And while the video cuts out at the perfect time to fire up the tasty quote machine, Cam did immediately follow that it up with a critique on men as well.
“I’m also gonna tell the men to start being men bro… that sucka shit should not be rewarded.”
Ultimately, Cam thinks men should get back to leading and woman should be more submissive, however, men have to actually step up and lead for that to happen.
But needless to say, the whole “can’t cook and don’t know when to be quiet” part didn’t sit to well with folks.
And they let Cam know:
Ya know. I think it's Cam Newton who doesn't know how to be quiet. Every interview he says something cringe-worthy. And yes! I heard the entire interview btw.

Cam Newton should focus more on what he should be doing on the football field instead of what he thinks women should be doing.

Cam Newton comes across as someone who views a woman as a personal assistant instead of a life partner.

However, a lot of people agreed that Cam was saying facts.
Cam Newton has every right to want a certain type of relationship. If you don’t like it, don’t date him. Simple.

I just think that the majority of women that came for Cam Newton have a problem with any man who’s not about that ratchet life…

Cam Newton said “For him, what he wants in a woman”
Y’all just skipping that entire phrase. I can stand y’all. 🤣🤣😂

Now people are mad at Cam Newton because he stated what he prefers in a woman and now he’s misogynistic??? How is it now that someone’s personal preference is offensive. I swear you guys are so damn soft. You worry about everything but your own life. pic.twitter.com/SJp2jecOtZ
