Thread: New survey shows only 14% of fans think Cam criticism racial

He hasn't done himself any favors, especially lately, needs to learn when to keep his mouth shut. Listening to him too often gives me the impression that he doesn't think before he speaks which leads to a lot of the attention he brings upon himself. But it wouldn't surprise me to learn that it's done on purpose either... certainly seems that way some times and a part of his crafted persona/image.

Street cred.

All I read was "Survey shows 86% of fans racist." Higher than I expected.

Not too surprising, as anyone other than race baiters and some in the media trying to stir things up for ratings, know that race isn't the reason Cam is liked or disliked, just like Tebow's race isn't why he was liked or disliked.

Things like his whining today about having reporters ask him the same questions three days in a row, and his celebrations for those that don't like them, are far more likely to be factors.

It's also interesting to note that black respondents like NFL celebrations more than white and younger people like them more than older (this latter part certainly not a surprise).

Of course.

That was Jamie Dukes take. Essentially, he seems to be saying that 14% admitted racism and the other 86% either simply won't admit it or don't realize they are racist.

Jamie Dukes is a dipshit

That is true, but he still has a loud voice/big audience.

Im pretty sure that is 86% accurate.

That was funny!



I guess I simply don't give a shit about Cam's dancing or showmanship. I haven't been watching TV or listening to talk radio so I've missed all the hoopla.

And the other 14% are just idiots... (re Dukes)

I dont care for his dancing as ive seen throughout the year but im also with you in that i have not watched ESPN or even listened to talk radio for the last two weeks. The only talk ive been involved in is here on the board or a little on FB. Its kind of nice not listening to all the jabber, as a fan im FOCUSED on the game only. lol

Only way to shut up Newton is the beat him.

As far as the 86% race thing, I don't even think my Dad's generation watches the NFL anymore, unless they polled all rednecks from the Deep South.

Because everything is about racism anymore.......

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the first two guys to have a big issue with Cam's end zone antics were two black lb's from the Titans....?
