Cam didn't change. This is who he is. I mentioned it last week...he's never been the most articulate player in the league. He's never been one to give much thought to possible ramifications of his public comments. It's just whatever is on his mind and sounds right.
The issue is Cam (partly through his own doing) became a symbol for greater things, and people started placing their own projections on him. During the peak of Cam love from last season, some people were reaching with the parallels to other situations, and it just went off track from the real ****. I still love what he represents in the eyes of the 'Murica crowd and the Middle America folks who wrote those letters to the newspaper. I'm not gonna put him on a higher pedestal than that and go wild with the comparisons though. It just wouldn't be valid.

Watching Hard Knocks has rid me of all the worries I had that the Rams would be good this season.
Tavon Austin calling himself a "savage" and saying he plays "like I'm 6'3"
Okay Tavon...
edit: and then getting bullied by William Hayes

I don't see anything wrong with what Cam said
He respects Colin

Vick visiting Minny
Damn thought he was headed to Dallas
Him in Minny could be interesting since the offense wouldn't run through him...

When i read Cam's comments all i see is someone sitting on the fence.

Word,he's at the point where he's big enough to say whatever he wants without having to worry about losing opportunities though imo.
Being MVP and a face of the league along with being one of the most marketable athletes right now gives you a certain amount of leeway unless you're doing criminal stuff

Don't get me wrong, we have our racial issues down here in the Bahamas.. But it ain't like in the states
But I always identified myself as mixed.. Slightly lighter than Jesse Williams.. Whenever I go through Miami airport, I get hit with the Spanish real quick even after I say "no hablo espanol"
Our pollution is overwhelmingly black and we'll crack jokes.. And what is considered "white" down here is kinda loose depending on where you are.. Our issues are more because we are a young country and a bit of ignorance (like some of our views on Chinese investors vs the leeway given any white foreigner)
But as far as white and black post like 80s, it really comes up with our politics and then convenience.. But moreso kids don't really have an issue when they're kids cause parents can't isolate you like they can over there.. But kids will go away and/or take on the baggage of their parents once they get a little older
But to my point about, went to an overwhelmingly white prep school in Jacksonville.. You figure out real quick where you fit in within American society
Yeah I'm not huge fan of the south but it happens everywhere. Being lightskinned with really light grey eyes (and not being mixed) has made some fun moments in my life.
every time I'm asked if/what I'm mixed with there's an uncontrollable hint of disappointment on the persons face. Like they were expecting an exotic back story and I let them down

Cam's always been like that regarding race topics though, just two weeks ago he said the criticism is beyond race. Even when he said that he's an African American QB and that he may scare a lot of people, he later said that it wasn't about race http://m.nydailynews.com/sports/foo...int-pants-flight-super-bowl-article-1.2515582

I disagree with him, but he's entitled to his opinion. He didn't bad mouth Colin at all anyway

This right here should be emphasized.
It's a shame many folks couldn't (and still don't) get the grasp of this, or chose to stick their collective heads in the sand. Good for him and the rest of the players who caught on.

it happens to the best of us. Sometimes it just sounds good but it's really not what you meant. Like you in that very post. "Out of context" sounded good, but you meant that he uses malapropisms when he talks (which is true)
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Why should Cam be forced to do something he's uncomfortable with? Not everyone is an activist.
