Cam Newton: NFL star wears Rosie the Riveter pin after sexism scandal backlash

Newton has been criticised for his comments after being asked a tactical question by a female reporter – Jourdan Rodrigue, from the Charlotte Observer.

He laughed and said: “It’s funny to hear a female talk about routes like – it’s funny.”

Newton apologised but has been dropped by sponsor Dannon and slammed by people across the NFL world.

And he turned up for this weekend’s match with a Rosie the Riveter badge on his black fedora.

Rosie the Riveter is a cultural icon from the second world war.

CAM NEWTON: WHO IS HE? WHAT DID HE SAY?

She symbolises the women who worked in factories and ship yards during World War II while men were in the military.

And Newton went on to turn in a big performance as the Carolina Panthers beat the Detroit Lions 27-24.

The quarterback produced stunning numbers – 26-for-33 passing, 355 yards and three touchdowns – to help his side win at Ford Field.

“You still have to be a professional about certain things,” Newton said. 

“I couldn’t feel sorry for myself knowing that certain things took place that were out of my control. At the end of the day, you live and you learn.”

And his coach was full of praise.

“The big thing there was the trust factor in terms of Cam making decisions,” said Ron Rivera. 

“He had an option of where he could go with the ball and Kelvin was the target. Again, [Newton] is doing some really good things right now and he’s really in sync with his receivers.”
