Jordan Rodrigue she covers the Carolina Panthers regularly for the Charlotte Observer. And yesterday, she asked Cam Newton a question at his press conference about receivers and routes. Newton responded by first telling her that “It’s funny to hear a female talk about routes like that,” before moving on and giving Rodrigue a legitimate answer.
To Rodrigue’s credit, she didn’t say anything at the time, but later confronted Newton about it where apparently things just got worse.
I don’t think it’s “funny” to be a female and talk about routes. I think it’s my job.

Cam Newton: “It’s funny to hear a female talk about routes.”
Uh, that’s a really, really bad way to answer a legitimate question. (video via https://t.co/NOdIiKyJCb) pic.twitter.com/MaS4KVjuSV
