I have often been the fan of villains in sports. Kobe Bryant is one of my favorites because he seems to be fighting him against the world on every possession. Michael Vick uses his legs to escape defenders that his linemen won't seem to block and whenever you see his passes in slow-motion, they are crisp direct spirals, that somehow are always dropped by receivers. While it seems fitting that Cam Newton would fit in easily on this list I think it should come with a disclaimer.
Cam Newton was never found guilty of soliciting himself to a school. Only his father was found to be committing an act of discretion. As for his inability to get good grades at Florida and resorting to cheating, plus purchasing a laptop from a black market salesman; I feel as though he never once took his eyes off the goal. He is a football player first. Because of the structure of the NCAA and the rules preventing him from going to play in the pros earlier, I think that he should not have to be viewed as a student-athlete but rather an athlete-who happens to go to school.
Cam Newton is being described as having one of the top 5 seasons of a college athlete ever. How is it that we feel he has tainted it so much.
First, he accepted no money in the first place, making him innocent of any crime or infraction.
Second, he lifted a team through the most difficult conference to the national championship despite it being his first year. Even Tim Tebow did not accomplish that feat.
Third, Cam Newton has ensured that he was playing football the entire time. Rather than play at a better school (Florida), he played in JC so as to make sure that he started for more years.
Let's also not forget that Tyrelle Pryor, who many consider to be an upstanding quarterback playing at Ohio State, accepted money. Reggie Bush, a champion of the down-trodden New Orleans Saints, accepted money. And even their rival, the University of Oregon, has been all about money from the beginning. Cam Newton never got an athletic deal like the University of Oregon has. He didn't get 80 different outfits for each game. He didn't get their facilities. If we really had a problem with Cam receiving money, then why didn't the NCAA suspend him to investigate further?
Cam Newton might have just captivated me with a very polished jaw, but I have never seen a quarterback with more focus and less strain than Cam had while playing in the National Championship. Cam stands for poise and he deserves just as much credit as he deserves.
Hat's off to Cam Newton!
My life is beautiful thanks to you, Mein Helfer. Lord Jesus in my life as a candle light in the darkness. You showed me the meaning of faith with your words.
