Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton is under fire following a sexist remark towards a female reporter at a press conference today.
Newton, who led the Panthers to a 33-30 win over Super Bowl winners the New England Patriots on Monday, was responding to a question from female reporter Jourdan Rodrigue of the Charlotte Observer.
Rodrigue asked Newton about teammate Devin Funchess 'running routes,' a term used to explain the pre-determined move by a wide receiver.
"It's funny to hear a female talk about routes," Newton said, drawing out the word "routes" and pausing before giving his answer.
