Panthers quarterback Cam Newton still hasn’t apologized to the reporter he addressed with a sexist comment on Wednesday, but now the reporter has apologized. Charlotte Observer reporter Jourdan Rodrigue posted an apology on Twitter after three tweets she posted years ago were discovered by Black Sports Online.

Our position regarding women in sports journalism roles are known: we don't believe women, most of whom have never set foot on a field with cleats and pads, should be reporting on professional sports. When you watch CNBC, Bloomberg, or Fox Business for the closing numbers on Wall Street, you'll normally see them interviewing people who've actually been CEOs or traders. You don't see women with plunging necklines, hair bleached Fox News blonde, and hooker-length heels they quickly remove once the segment is over if leg shots were involved. Aside from the show hosts (which is another topic altogether), we...

Hollywood producer of mediocre films and general high muckety-muck Harvey Weinstein was revealed by the news fakers at the New York Times on Wednesday to be a serial woman abuser who has entered into at least 8 settlements of sexual harassment lawsuits over the last quarter century. This story was apparently real – it’s not about Donald Trump or Russia, after all – because Weinstein issued a standard progressive non-apology apology later in the day that sounded like it came right out of the Bill Clinton playbook. Which is appropriate, given that Weinstein has been a big donor to both...

The yogurt manufacturer Dannon has severed ties with Cam Newton, less than a day after he directed a sexist quip at Charlotte Observer reporter Jourdan Rodrigue. “It’s funny to hear a female talk about routes. It’s funny,” Newton said after Rodrigue asked a question about Panthers receiver Devin Funchess’s physical approach on Sunday in New England. “We are shocked and disheartened at the behavior and comments of Cam Newton towards Jourdan Rodrigue, which we perceive as sexist and disparaging to all women,” Dannon said in a statement. “It is entirely inconsistent with our commitment to fostering equality and inclusion in...

Cam Newton is under fire for making a sexist comment to a female reporter during a press conference on Wednesday. Carolina Panthers beat writer Jourdan Rodrigue asked the quarterback about wide receiver Devin Funchess’ improvements on the field. “I know you take a lot of pride in seeing your receivers play well,” Rodrigue said during the briefing. “Devin Funchess has really seemed to embrace the physicality of his routes and getting those extra yards.

In 1984 at Immanuel Baptist, he preached about leading a revival where worshippers rejoiced as prominent members of the community _ an attorney, a businessman _ accepted Jesus. He said he was heartbroken that people overlooked a young mentally retarded woman who also came forward. "She always came alone and left alone. And to all outward appearances, nobody really cared," he said. "But God made a very big announcement that night. Although she may sit in that pew by herself, he loved her." --- But his big-tent approach has left him vulnerable to detractors _ in Southern Baptist and GOP...
