These guys work their whole lives for that moment and, I believe, are allowed to be in a crappy mood when they lose. Just my 2 cents.
It's Ok to support Cam, I kinda' use to before this, #shrug. I have higher standards for grown men and professional athletes though, and Cam's let me down, .

This is how I know Cam is a child. His supporters use stuff like this to deflect and give him the consideration you would give a 14yr old who just lost the city championship, #shrug. I'm tired of people defending poor behavior, it's a fricken' societal pandemic, IMO.

None of this is relevant. Nobody is upset because Cam has a goal in life & pursues it. Nobody is upset because Cam doesn't like losing. In fact, that's probably a pretty favorable trait to have as a pro, #shrug.

Again, it is 100% about his behavior and nothing else. What Cam did at his interview was the equivalent of sitting on the bench and covering his head with a towel during his previous setbacks. By sulking, not answering questions like those around him & who've gone before him, he disrespects the game, the league, his team, his coaches, his efforts, himself, et ...

I would like to think he had more consideration for something he's "worked his entire life for" and/or is so passionate about, #shrug ... but I guess that's the way it is with the twenty-something crowd, #smh.

I remember having guys like Cam in my units, in the military. Great fun-loving guys, always cutting up, jokin' & smokin' having a good time, loving what they do ... but when it was "go" time, you could never fully rely on them to get the job done, kinda' like Cam in the SuperBowl, #shrug.

It's Ok to enjoy what you're doing and have a good time, but eventually you have to put aside childish things and be a man about stuff, #shrug.

We're being a lot easier on him then his own fan base ... he's getting murdered on the Panther boards, . SuperBowl L MVP Von Miller nailed it when he said Cam & Co. were more concerned with being "rappers & back-up dancers" leading up to the big game ... where they met a focused group of grown men more concerned with being Champions, #shrug.
