Cam Newton set everyone up with the troll, and it was the easiest bait and catch I’ve seen in sometime.
On Thursday before the Carolina Panthers played the Pittsburgh Steelers in the final exhibition game, Newton posted a photo to his Instagram account of himself with seven of his close friends on a trip to Mexico.
Some of the friends are wearing bandanas on their faces and making hand gestures while Newton, in the front, has his hands in the form of a "W."
Most of the comments centered around gang culture and whether Newton was a Crip or Blood.
Friday Newton took to IG again, to set the record straight, using another photo to highlight the stereotypes and judgments that serve no real purpose.
Newton told the media at Panthers practice that he wouldn’t be “forced into a box” or made to act like the stereotypical quarterback.
