In a wide-ranging interview with GQ, Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton told the magazine he doesnt think he is subjected to extra scrutiny because he is black.
Vapormax Schweiz Kaufen .Its not racism, Newton told GQ. Everybodys entitled to their own opinion.Newton has been critiqued for his playing style and demeanor on and off the field throughout his five seasons in the NFL, and some have pointed to Newtons race as part of the reason he receives such criticism.The quarterback, however, dismissed that idea to GQ.I dont want this to be about race, because its not. Its not, Newton said. Like, were beyond that. As a nation.Before Super Bowl 50, Newton created headlines when he described himself as an African-American quarterback that may scare a lot of people because they havent seen nothing they can compare me to. He later eased off those comments in the run-up to his first Super Bowl appearance, when he became the sixth black quarterback to start the NFLs title game.I dont even want to touch the topic of black quarterback, because I think this game is bigger than black, white or green, Newton said in February before the game. I think we limit ourselves when we just label ourselves just black, this, that and the third. I wanted to bring awareness because of that, but yet I dont think I should be labeled just a black quarterback, because its bigger things in this sport that need to be accomplished.Asked by GQ about other hot-button national issues, Newton said he doesnt have an opinion on Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and wouldnt say whether he voted for North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory.I love people too much to care about those type of things, Newton told GQ.McCrorys controversial House Bill 2, which eliminated antidiscrimination protections for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people, has brought scrutiny to North Carolina and led to the NBA removing the 2017 All-Star Game from Charlotte, the city where Newton leads the defending NFC champion Panthers.Newton said he would rather let people develop their own opinions rather than advocate for his positions.Ill let you be the judge. I dont look at it like that, he told GQ. I look at it like some people have certain beliefs, and I have my own belief, and we can agree to disagree on certain things. But this is what makes sports so amazing, that we can start a discussion around a table, in the newspaper, in the magazines, that will get peoples attention. And thats what sports does.Newton also said he would let his son, Chosen, who was born in December, play football when he grows up.GQ released its September cover story featuring Newton on Monday.

Bae played bogey-free Friday on another gorgeous day at Riviera for a 5-under 66, giving him a one-shot lead over Aaron Baddeley and Robert Garrigus going into the weekend. WIMBLEDON, London -- When Marcus Willis travelled to Philadelphia earlier this year he made sure to take in one of tourisms greatest rites of passage.The 2-ton, 10-feet tall Rocky Balboa statue is located at the bottom of the 72 stone Rocky Steps before the entrance of the Philadelphia Museum of Art.Its not certain if Willis ran up them all, humming the Oscar-winning movies theme tune and shouting Yo, Adrian! I did it! But he did stop for a picture in front of the bronze statue, mimicking the famous pose of the character played by Sylvester Stallone.He would never have thought he would have his arms aloft in the air in similar fashion a few months later on Centre Court at Wimbledon, after winning a game against Roger Federer.The Marcus Willis story has seemed like something straight out of Hollywood; there was certainly a hint of Rocky when he took on the 17-time Grand Slam champion and seven-time Wimbledon winner.Just like Balboa getting a title shot at heavyweight boxing champion Apollo Creed, it was David vs. Goliath in SW19, and there was no mystery to Federer why the world is drawn to sporting stories like this.Because we dont know him [Willis], the Swiss told a press conference after his 6-0, 6-3, 6-4 victory under the roof. Hes made waves in our sport with a very low ranking to make it very far. Its not just that he got a wild card into qualifying and hes ranked 300, he comes from much further than that.Unfortunately, we dont have enough of those stories anymore. If a junior of 16 years old would also make a run like that, we would be talking about it similarly.We used to have those stories almost every Grand Slam say 10 years ago. Its not happening that much anymore because its becoming mentally and physically maybe too gruelling. Im not sure. I said a few days ago, this story is gold.Ranked No.772, Willis got a lucky break and received a wild card into Wimbledon pre-qualifying, where he won three matches. He won three more at Roehampton last week to secure his All England Club debut.In his first tour-level match, he beat world No.554 Ricardas Berankis?on Monday to guarantee himself £50,000 and a match with Federer on Centre Court.
Nike Air Max 720 Damen Günstig. illis took Tim Henmans advice on Wednesday afternoon and went out there early to soak up the atmosphere, watching Novak Djokovics match against Adrian Mannarino.When the time came for Federer to walk out of the locker room, Willis was already waiting there for him. The nerves must have got to him, suddenly, though, and he found the mens room.I didnt know if he wanted to go out first, said Federer. I wanted the cooler experience for him, if its walking ahead of me or behind me.In the end it was Willis who led them out. I thought it was cool that he got out first because its his moment, in my opinion. I wanted him to have a great time.The ovation for the 25-year-old from Slough was deafening as he walked out in his Nike RF t-shirt and matching headband, dressed almost identically to his opponent. I bought it [the shirt] for last years Wimby, but I didnt play. A bit awkward, he said.Girlfriend Jenny Bate, who convinced Willis to go after his Wimbledon dream when he was thinking of quitting, was there in the players box on Wednesday, like Adrian at ringside for Rocky.So too were Willis parents, his sister, his cousin, and his brother -- who skipped school to come and watch. The school had contacted his mother to ask where his younger brother was -- hes watching his brother play Federer on Centre Court she replied.It was all over after 85 minutes. Willis celebrated with a beer in the locker room -- not a pint, it was a bottle, didnt get my moneys worth there -- drinking in not just the lager but what he had achieved in the last couple of weeks. It tasted incredible.Not my standard Wednesday, that, he reflected. A week from now he will be back coaching children and pensioners alike for £30 an hour at the Warwick Boat Club, where until Monday he made most of his money.Next Wednesday might be quite different.
