Cam Newton, formerly of the Carolina Panthers, was a recent guest on Barstool Sports' Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast. The free-agent quarterback made some misogynistic and sexist comments about women that have received large (and appropriate) amounts of negative press.

Here are several tweets on the controversy from fans, followed by the actual comments from Newton made on the podcast.

Twitter user @NicoleAuerbach tweeted to hit the quarterback with his own words.

This Twitter user admonished the free-agent quarterback and gave him some words of wisdom.

Here are the initial comments made by Newton on his recent visit to the Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast:

“I had a perfect, perfect example of what a man was like 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 b*tch, a woman, okay? A bad b*tch is a person who's just (like), 'Girl, I'm a bad b*tch. I'm doing this, I'm doing that, I look the part, but I don't act the part.’ And there's a lot of women who are bad b*tches."

Newton ended his baseless comments with the following words:

"And I say b*tches in a way not to degrade women. But just to go off the esthetic 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 esthetic of like, ‘I’m my boss b*tch. I'm a bad b*tch, I’m this, or I’m that. But you can't cook. Okay, you don't know when to be quiet. You don't know how to allow a man to lead.”

Newton's comments are sexist, misogynistic, and entirely out of place for today's world. He made similar comments in 2017 to a female reporter at a press conference.

The reporter asked the quarterback, who was a member of the Carolina Panthers at that time, a question. He responded that it was "funny to hear a female" ask about football.

The 2015 NFL MVP proves that his views have not changed and have, perhaps, gotten worse towards women.

As of this writing, the former Auburn University standout has yet to apologize or publicly address the comments.
