I hate me some Cam Newton.. His stupid towel over the head and everything...

But I'm a little conflicted on how I feel with this one. Definite poor sport to not recognize and respect, and to outright discount, the people that just beat you. That's just super egotistical, one of the highest forms of sportsman disrespect, and a loser mentality.

But, as a super fierce competitive person myself, I can understand emotions taking over. We saw this guys massively big head POP on tv, then he had to parade his malformed, deflated, disfigured head into a press conference where he had to explain, "why aren't you good enough? And why aren't you as good as you are supposed to be? And You're Cam Newton, how in the world could somebody beat you?" That's really tough.

I'm not defending the actions, but I do understand them, and won't judge him. Sure it's easy to say what should be done in that situation and what we would have done, but we really have no idea what it's like to think like an already huge egoed, newly crowned NFL MVP Cam Newton, and have the biggest disappointment of our life just happen 10 minutes ago, then have one of the guys that beat you's answer to how they beat you blasting in your ear. Man, that sucks.

All I'm saying is, let's not judge because we can't understand his position.

I'm also really curious to see if/how he grows from this.
