Cam Newton Pulls the Race Card

As Super Bowl 50 comes up in Santa Clara, the Panthers are taking on the Denver Broncos behind Peyton Manning. The leader of the Carolina Panthers, Cam Newton, is making history as one of the few black quarterbacks in the Superbowl. However, Cam made a comment about him being a black quarterback and that people should be "scared" of him. I don't believe it is the color of his skin that is the intimidating part, maybe just the fact that he is 6'5" and 250 pounds. I believe Cam is making a great impact in the NFL and this comment was unnecessary. However, the media plays it out to be a bigger deal then it is. It seems as if the media always tries to blow things up as a big deal. This brings me to the point, why is there so much "talk" before the big game? I thought they were here to play football but for some reason the NFL takes a whole week to publicize both teams and the unnecessary talking. Lets just play football!
