3rd Annual 'Big Game Rally' at Beacon Park in Detroit - Michigan vs. Michigan State Alumni Flag Football Game - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrfWeiE66x0

Keys to our victory today were the same as they'll be on Saturday. No turnovers, hitting it over the top with the deep ball, and solid defense.

Congratulations to all M alumni who participated - Go Blue!

DId you hear Dannon Yogurt pulled their sponsorship of Cam after that comment? They just didn't think he was cultured enough to be their spokesperson. 

I think that it's really about his game, however. He was great at first, but his game has gotten pretty vanilla the last few years. 

Regardless, I don't think Dannon has any room to talk. They are super homophobic; they've been putting fruit on the bottom for 100 years...

Three things:

1) Most people are fools

2) Sometimes the use of the celebrity is to get your attention e.g. "Hey look, it's Cam Newton." and once they have your attention you might actually hear a few words and become interested e.g. "Those new yogurt flavors sound tasty. Maybe I'll try them." It's the same reason they use attractive people or interesting looking people; it is to prevent you from tuning out. Often when something catches your eye, you look longer and open your ears.

3) Someone once told me in advertising if you don't get it or don't like it, you weren't the target audience. I have concluded that I am not the target audience for 99.9% of all commercials.

He acted like an asshole, plain and simple. He lost an endorsement deal because of it. Endorsement deals ALL have clauses that say, "hey, we can cut you loose without cause if you act like an asshole." Cam knew this (or should have), and is paying the price. FYI, "morals clauses" in contracts go back 100+ years. So don't pretend this is a "new thing" by "pussified snowflake America."
