Cam Newton Apologizes For Calling A Female Reporter A “FEMALE”
Here is the full text of Newton’s apology:
“After careful thought, I understand that my word choice was extremely degrading and disrespectful to women. And to be honest, that was not my intentions. And if you are a person who took offense to what I said, I sincerely apologize to you.
“I’m a man who tries to be a positive role model in my community and tries to use my platform to inspire others. And I … take ownership to everything that comes with that. And what I did was extremely unacceptable.
“I’m a father to two beautiful daughters, and at their age I try to instill in them that they can do and be anything that they want to be. The fact that during this whole process I’ve already lost sponsors and countless fans, I realize that the joke is really on me.
“And I’ve learned a valuable lesson from this.
“To the young people who see this, I hope that you’ve learned something from this as well. Don’t be like me; be better than me.
“To the reporters, to the journalists, to the moms, the supermoms, to the daughters, the sisters and the women all around the world, I sincerely apologize and hope that you can find the kindness in your heart to forgive me. Thank you.”
