From Cam’s joyous play, his dances, celebrations with the fans, and the team-wide photos, the Panthers looked like a team who loved every minute of their season. And although “dabbing” was developed by the rap group Migos, Newton’s high school coach said he gave a similar name to Newton’s boisterous on-field celebrations.

“But, it’s OK because we’re about to beat the Broncos in the Super Bowl because the Broncos suck”, he said.
Newton has addressed critics of his on-field antics and their perception of him due to his race.
“It really should be about your merit more so than anything else, about what you’ve accomplished and what you’ve done”. And I think a lot of people would agree with that.
Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton suggested for the first time Wednesday that race may play a factor in why he’s become a lightning rod for public criticism heading toward his appearance in the Super Bowl. Because at the end of the day you’ve got a lot of people denying (racism is behind the criticism of Newton), that that’s not true. Want and need are two different words, and that’s what I used in that text, along with other explicit words before the ‘need.’ And I think he got the feeling from that. I know there is a lot of money involved, but at the end of the day it’s about entertainment.
Jaden Battle was at a preseason game August 28 where the Panthers played the Patriots. Allen recalled Newton bombing teammates with water balloons and turning off the lights when he walked into the crowded gym.
‘Some people can’t accept that, ‘ Tillman said. He has created his own category for winning’.
Carolina defensive tackle Dwan Edwards senses the hatred of Newton stems from the QB’s popularity. “There are a lot of people who don’t care for them and no matter what they do, it’s ‘Oh that’s the wrong way”.

“It’s tough, because people are going to hate you regardless”.
