Cam Newton Draft Drama

                          As the NFL Draft is rapidly approaching, teams and fans are constantly starving for new information pertaining potential prospects from their physical attributes down to their mental makeup and IQ score.  Just recently Pro Football Weekly released its annual draft preview, and analyst Nolan Nawrocki laid some harsh unfair criticisms on Auburn quarterback Cam Newton.  He was quoted saying: "Very disingenuous -- has a fake smile, comes off as very scripted and has a selfish, me-first makeup," Nawrocki wrote. "Always knows where the cameras are and plays to them. Has an enormous ego with a sense of entitlement that continually invites trouble and makes him believe he is above the law -- does not command respect from teammates and will always struggle to win a locker room. ... Lacks accountability, focus and trustworthiness -- is not punctual, seeks shortcuts and sets a bad example."  This ties in with exactly what we were discussing regarding racism and discrimination.  It is reasonable to critique a players skill level, but Nawrocki went above and beyond attacking the personal character in integrity of Cam Newton that will undoubtedly damage his reputation at some level.  Former Quarterback Warren Moon who was one of the first black quarterbacks in the NFL spoke out against this, claiming that he is held to a double standard against prospective white quarterback prospects.  Cam Newton, like many other 21 year olds, have dealt with drama throughout their college career.  If draft analyst were to nitpick through every prospects personal lives they would find numerous areas of concern or question, but the fact of the matter is they are 21 year olds. No college student should be subjected to that type of unfair criticism.  The nature of Nawrocki's article made it obvious that he had some sort of hatred or stereo-type against Newton due to his flashy celebrant style of play and the way he conducts himself with media questioning.  It's sad that in this day of age we still find ourselves coming across blatant racism, even in journalism.
