Bro literally every NFL show on every network is dominated by black athletes and black hosts.
Any of those players found with a stolen laptop ... allegedly?
Respectfully, is Cam forgetting that Shannon Sharpe, RGIII, Ryan Clark, Michael Strahan, etc exist? I mean, RGIII for example wasn’t even a *starter* for that long in the NFL
Cam is talking about getting a job commentating the game and getting paid the same way Tony romo n them are!…
All those guys you just named never worked in the booth!..
Listen before you talk bruh!..
@@brewcity2566 so being a slave in America is playing victim? or did it happen?🤔!..
Answer that since you want to act like blacks n whites were always equal since the beginning of this country!…🤔
@OnlyMorale Romo and Aikman are cowboys they were on TV every Sunday, more people know them, Olson wasn't even supposed to have his job Troy left Fox out of nowhere and Brady was his replacement but Brady sat up last year to get training for the job
How's their broadcasting contracts?
Strahan is on about 16 shows
Deion Sanders, Shannon Sharpe, Michael Strahan, Richard Sherman, Michael Irving, Curt Menefee, Emmanuel Achoo. I love seeing brothers succeed, gotta grind in the NFL & out of it
Those guys didn’t come close to getting 100 million dollar deals. He is not saying black athletes are not on tv, it’s the position and the pay range.
It’s clear that Yall don’t comprehend well. Calling games for Fox and CBS is not the same job as being part of a pre-game show.
IT TOOK THEM YEARS TO GET A JOB ON TV AFTER THEIR CAREER! These other guys are getting the, immediately
@@357twilsonthey were not calling play by play.
Curt wasn’t a athlete
Cam got nothing else to talk about 😂
Cam jus stating the obvious yall know wassup
@@killakam9006 always the victims lmaooo
@@BluntVille who? You referring to ?
Beggin' for relevancy
Cam is worth 100 Millions!
Cam isn’t begging!
I hate victim hood! Happy Juneteenth folks!
It’s reality! It’s no victim!
It's society's fault for not reaching out to me. It's the Governments fault for not throwing me opportunities left and right. Its the school system and my teachers fault for not knowing how to keep me in the class room so I cut classes run around with the fellas.
Nevermind that others in my neighborhood and school made it to better places... It's not my fault I'm not as smart and as dedicated as them.
I hate white privilege
Can't tell you how to talk but hate is a strong word but I do feel what you are saying and also just because you have played sports doesn't. Mean that you will be a good sportscaster it's crazy how people worry about what the next person are doing but can say this with a straight face it's still in existence what cam Newton is talking about not in the broadcast boot plenty brothers Michael Vick RGlll different story if you want to talk about ownership of NFL'S TEAMS
@@elizabethgodfrey1033victime !
Correct me if im wrong didn't Michael Michael Strahan get multiple tv jobs after retiring, so did Warren Sapp, and Shannon, maybe it's you, Cam
I don’t think you understand where he is coming from
Yup, it’s definitely Cam.
@darnelldavis3733 where is he coming from because players who retire have always gone right to tv more now than ever before I don't even think you can compare Brady to others because the NFL wants him apart of the league still
@@darnelldavis3733 please enlighten us then? Cam to me sounds jealous, when other black men were given the same opportunity as Brady. Cam didn't even dive on a loose ball in a SB, nobody cares about Cam haha.
They are the masters of playing the victim card
I'm surprised and impressed by how intelligent and mature this answer was by Stephen A. "You don't gotta sell your soul but YOU DO GOTTA CAPITULATE". Very wise words that a lot of people need to hear
Stephen A been cutting at famous Blacks.
It’s why he’s put up there to go at his own. Didn’t he go at Angel Reese?
Cam Newton never saw a princess hat he didn't like.
cuz he has little ears trying to hide it
Any cowboy from that era who wanted a prime media job got one. Including Irvin, Emmitt, Deion and Woodson
He is talking getting mega contracts!
They didn’t get mega deals!
Deion didn't?
Deion be on every both whether ncaa or nfl. Plus every commercial in between.
Cmon now
Emmitt got a seat on ESPNs big show. Stunk at it and was shown door Just like white guys Joe Montana, Joe Gibbs, George Seifert, Jim Kelly etc Irvin and Sanders were both very good on tv and had prime roles and contracts. Hell, Irvin was so good (I’m a fan) networks overlooked some shenanigans.
Personally, I think Romo is the best fb commentator. He’s down to earth and knows the game.
Being well spoken and professional are two of the main qualities they look for when putting someone in the booth. Cam Newton has neither of those qualities.
Cam is much better than Brady with analysis.
Brady is good but he stays protected!
@@elizabethgodfrey1033I feel like you didn't read what you commented on
You all that agree are wrong, that man is very professional. Now maybe the way he dresses could be a little much for broadcasting and the way he talk on his podcast is him being his fun self. That's why he has a million subscribers or more.
😂😂😂
Cam is totally professional. Speaks eloquently and very insightful.
Respectfully I think the reason why more white players get opportunities is because for years the face of the team has always been the quarterback which predominantly has been white I think we'll see a shift in that over the years now that they're a lot more black quarterbacks that are the ones facing the media because they get a chance to explain the X's and o's and break the game down during interviews when you look at Shannon Sharp and deion Sanders and Michael Strahan they were so great that they were the faces that spoke to the media because the media wanted to hear them Don't be surprised if Pat mahomes and Russell Wilson and others start getting those same opportunities hopefully at least
Great statement man🔥🔥🔥!..
Better then all these clowns in these comments!..
@@OnlyMorale appreciate that fam
@@kimstuart7989 🔥🔥🔥
Exactly! You nailed it!💯
Nobody “gets” opportunity, you TAKE (create) it!!
These guys are not fighting at youth football events.
Cam didn’t fight! They attacked him. It’s self defense.
What is the name of ur group? Who do U
help? Anyone?
Huh?
To quote Jerry Maguire as it pertains to Cam Newton:
"All right, I’ll tell you why you don’t have your ten million dollars. Right now, you are a PAYCHECK PLAYER. You play with your head, not your heart. In your personal life, heart. But when you get on the field it’s ALL ABOUT WHAT YOU DIDN'T GET. WHO'S TO BLAmE. Who won through the pass. WHO'S GOT THE CONTRACT YOU DONT. WHO'S NOT GIVING YOU YOUR LOVE. You know what, that is not what inspires people. That is not what inspires people! Shut up! Play the game, play it from your heart. And you know what, I’ll show you the kwan."
I don't agree with Stephen A much but this was pretty good. Especially the part about looking the part... You damn sure can't walk around like you got hair growing out the top of your hat and 15 different layers of clothes on and think somebody is going to take you serious.
😂
Facts. Mike Vick cleaned up his look as was on TV quite a bit.
Stupid with that I'm on the floor 😂🤣😅
Cam still reeling from not jumping on the fumble.
U go jump on it!
@@elizabethgodfrey1033 give me 31 million and I’ll definitely jump on it.
@@elizabethgodfrey1033 give me 31 million and I will.
You don't look the part, talk the part and dress the part Cam. 😂😂😂😂
There a hundred black commentators. Crying race every day gets old
That’s u!
Cam didn’t cry race! U just did.
He got that hot dog on a stick hat on 🎩
@elizabethgodfrey1033 what do you think he was talking about
Cam Newton didn’t attack race!
He only said increase the number of the numbers of minorities to Skip the line to get the bag.
Nobody ever accused Cam Newton of having a relevant point since he starting piping off post nfl release.
Cam is a race hustler...period. He is jealous
When does he hustle race?
Jason fatlock is a race hustler.
You're white forefathers created this.
You're white forefathers created this.
Again just another Racist person trying to change the narrative of what Cam is speaking on by calling him a Race hustler
Race hustler? wtf does that even mean ? Truth hurts the so called entitled privileged
He didn’t even criticize Brady he questioned those giving out the jobs
I feel you. But you missed Stephen A point around halfway thru the video.
If you got a corporation posting a job. You need to tell them that you can do what they want you to do.
Roasting NBC or ESPN while trying to get a job at NBC or ESPN is the definition of idiocy
Would you hire a guy hating your company to work for your company?
@@acruzro95😂😂 exactly 💯
@@acruzro95 I agree 100% I just hate the title 😂
he imply it
The nope can’t beat the GOAT
Stephen is right on this one, and if you don’t understand here I say it another way, your whole life is political, you interact with people to get in where you want and your taken in based on interview, and yes your looks, character, and demeanor all come into play. Cams flamboyant look is more for fashion events not sports.
Louis Riddick didn’t skip the line. That’s why he didn’t bring him up. It’s about skipping the line & going straight to the front SAS. Stay true to the actual thing Cam was speaking on!
Did Richard Sherman skip the line?
What about guys like Michael Vick and RGlll?
What about every body on. Fs1?
Cam's issue is his aura, his big personality, that was always his issue even in the field. So he's honestly better in his own online platform than on TV, but I understand the appeal of being on national TV
Cam talking about ridiculous contracts that some ppl didn’t earn not all… but some
Here goes Stevie speaking up for Zaddy! This man plays the fence like a next door neighbor
@shuggashane1977 zaddy?.....................it's really sad that so many of y'all think so ignorantly. Always ready to try to call someone out for their so called "blackness" or lack thereof when that victim, the man keepin us down garbage is the biggest detriment to the race. SAS on this occasion spoke facts and reality, sad that most of you are too stuck on stupid to comprehend it.
We need max Kellerman back smh
Can knows what he put into the game. To become a QB as a sophomore Anna take a prestigious college in our back. You deserve credit. Cam changed the game!
Lol..Randall Cunningham changed the game
Yea. He got all these players dressing like 🤡's coming to games looking like they in a Halloween parade.
You're right Cam did change the game. Only QB i ever saw run away from a fumble in a Championship game. He's a bloody pioneer 🤣
@ronbass2272 Given his physical tools he really underachieved, never became what people thought and he definitely punked out not going for that fumble in the Super Bowl. He's bitter and jealous and everyone can clearly see that.
Cam didnt change anything😂😂
My honest perception is that this does vary broadcaster to broadcaster. Ngl, Fox is whiter. Generally I think in the studio it’s racially an ok representation of the league. Not in the booths. I think that today black ex pros do get opportunities but I think they struggle to get paid because the networks don’t think they bring eyeballs themselves. The only way to get paid really is to do what Unc, RC and Kelce have done and have your own platform as that changes the negotiations completely.
Maybe Matt Ryan, and Tony Romo, made the connections they needed to make in media, before leaving the game, so that they had the inside track when it was time to make the transition? Maybe Cam didn't let it be known he wanted to be in the booth for NFL games?
SAS is right. Romo probably has an inside track, being the Cowboys QB for over a decade. That is an asset in negotiations
Being a Cowboys is valuable, on and off the field. I think Cam Newton, being a former NFL MVP/#1 player in the league, adds value
What about TNT Cam ?
At the end of the day all tunings matter - how you conduct yourself on and off the field - what you say matters - how you are perceived matters - how you look and what you wear matters - and of course - and as with all things developing relationships and network matters - no matter color
Love what Cam Newton has to say
I already knew who Stephen was going to defend.
No news here.
Why is cam Newton your brother and why do you need to be sensitive when talking about what he says?
STEPHEN A. YOU ARE RIGHT ON POINT MY MAN. YOU ARE MY MAN IN EVERY WAY. YOU ARE THE BEST THING THAT HAPPENED TO SPORTS TELEVISION. THE PLATFORM THAT YOU GAVE TO THOSE SISTER ON FIRST TAKE. FIRST TAKE HELP MAKE THEM BE EVEN MORE BIGGER .THAN THEY EVEN THOUGHT THEY COULD BE. THEY CAN LOOK AT YOU ALL SIDE WAYS IF THEY WANT TO. BUT IN REALITY THEY NEED TO KEEP IT REAL. AND GIVE YOU MY BROTHER THE CREDIT YOU DESERVE FOR HELP MAKING IT HAPPEN FOR THEM.( RIGHT ON MY BROTHER). YOU ARE TRULY THE BEST.( STAY STRONG).😊✊✊
This is the smartest thing that I've ever seen Stephen A say.
Be more articulate when speaking and the contracts will follow. CBS and Fox do not want analysts talking to millions of viewers like they have a grammar school vocabulary.
I’m with Cam on this one. All I gotta say is Jason Witten. Good heavens, what a nightmare that was on Monday Night Football!
What does Cam Newton and the WNBA Have in common???😅
Very well stated piece Mr . Smith !! 👍🏻 Excellent explanation of it all My Man
Cam is the Terrance Howard of the NFL
Cam aint lying, I remember the NFL had Dennis miller as a MNF commentator. They move mountains for who and what they want.
@walkerenterprise1764 Cam is nothing more than a sad and bitter fool who embarrasses himself everytime he opens his mouth. HE decided he did not want to be a network broadcaster when he chose to walk around with that stupid hairstyle and those ridiculous cartoonish outfits. Hater is a word I hate but CAM fits the word..............perfectly.
Stop the race bullshit, plenty of ppl of color have broadcasting.
Dennis Miller ?
Scam cam couldn't dive for the ball him and his kind love playing victim
What kind is that?
@@curtishancock432 black people
Who accomplished more in their career…Cam Newton or Tony Romo?🤔!..
Answer that…since you want to bring up diving on the ball n shit!..
Two qbs that never won a super bowl one guy fits the mold one guy is a cancer and will end up being a burden to work with
@curtishancock432 your kind
He said no lies!
Well said Stephen A. 👌
Well he's mainly talking about successful white QBs. Yes the white part is important but its the QB part that is more important in those guys getting opportunities. I suspect now that we are seeing more black QBs succeed, they'll get more opportunities in future...like when Pat Mahomes retires in hopefully 12+ years with a few more SBs to his name, I bet he'll be getting opportunities(even with his Kermit the Frog voice lmao).
When you look and act like you just got out of Rikers Island after serving 10 years, You can forget a TV job!!
Well said Stephen A.
As always excellent analysis!!!!
Great take Sir.
SAS please shut up!!!
@jefferykincey3907 why should he shut up when he's spitting straight facts. That's the problem none of y'all wanna hear the truth. Older white men run these networks and no matter what any of you think about that it's reality. They will go with the ethnic styles to a point if they are well groomed but they are not putting someone like Newton on tv and certainly not in a booth as a color analyst. That also is reality. He can continue to bitch, moan and hate on other people or get his act together.
Cam will be remembered only with his fashion style. If he was worth fir such a contract, perhaps some channel would approach him?
He sure is dancing around the topic
To work at McDonald's you gotta be willing to wear that uniform - PERIOD! You right about that brotha
You're a good man Stephen.
Tony Romo’s first TV contract was for 3 million dollars a year. Then he was hit at broadcasting because he was calling the plays before they happen. Then he got that mega deal! He earned that deal. He wasn’t given it.
If romo has the talent in the booth does it even matter how he got there. I’m sure they had to do skits or practice auditions. And I’m sure he showed up and stood on business. I enjoy listening to him and I haven’t known a person yet who doesn’t like him.
It’s A lot Of Black Players Doing TV Nowadays and They Still In The League I See What He Tryna Say But You Got Booger McFarland Louis Reddit they Did Monday Night Football
I wonder if Cam ever applied to be on the First Take show? I saw Cam's dad was on it the year Carolina went to the SB
This is a great life lesson as a whole.
Cam went after the wrong QB lol.
Cam didn't jump on the fumble during the super bowl. That's all we have to hear
Man I've been agreeing with SAS a good bit lately 😂
Stephen a smith solidifies Toni Morison’s term “white gaze”
At the end of the day, if you're likeable, you're likeable. It doesn't matter what you look like. If people like you, they will give you opportunities.
GET YOUR OWN NETWORK! then u can pay n make whatever moves u wanna make
The advice of Scott Adams is sounding smarter and smarter each day. Tragic.
Tactful, wise and brilliant
Who wants to hear Cam Newton on the booth?
Cam
Is good!
He didn’t only talk for him!
It’s to increase minorities with bigger contracts!
Mike Tirico, Louis Riddick, Johnathan Vilma, Aqib Talib, Deion Sanders, Booger McFarland, Charles Woodson, Warren Sapp, Richard Sherman, Michael Strahan, Jason McCourty, Tiki Barber, Nate Burleson, Robert Smith, Randy Moss, Shannon Sharpe, etc. There have been a TON of former black NFL players and black journalists in the booth/media.
Burleson is doing a ton at Paramount Global these days, doing both news (CBS Mornings) and sports (The NFL Today and the Nickelodeon game). Getting into sports media and possibly doing more is certainly possible for us black folks.
Well said mr smith
Seeing someone who's NOT black on ANY ESPN show (including 95% of the commercials during the breaks) is about as rare as a Sasquatch sighting. This ish gets really, really old.
To be fair, Tony Romo's performance has slipped some. Look at the 2023 Patriots/Raiders game and Super Bowl LVIII for examples of that. I agree that he has a point about Matt Ryan, though. However, there are prominent black NFL analysts out there such as Michael Strahan, Charles Davis and Louis Riddick just to name 3.
I kept waiting for the punch line to come in on the explanation for why Greg Olsen got in there from jump street: "Now Greg Olson? He's white as Mrs. Bairds and good looking."
Cam didn’t say White!
He said increase for minorities.
It’s Stephen A’s spin.
Nobody brought up about no
Got dam Super Bowls. It’s irrelevant to being able to skip the line.
IMO, Brady should have worked under Greg Olsen.
Olsen is qualified.
Fox did Greg Olsen dirty. But, It’s their money!
Why is he pointing out why his examples are bad instead of pointing out that it’s not true as a theory
Idk what training tony got…but he’s good as fk tho
State Your Source.
Because he’s in with the powerbrokers. Ain’t fair ppl who are not in with the powerbrokers got a ceiling
Cam all jealous 😂
Not true!
Tony Romo had to work his tail off to get to where he was. He didn’t have the same natural talent as Newton and only succeeded because of how hard he worked in the film room.
Tony Romo should not be on CBS it was better when Phil Simms was casting on games
U tell him that 👏 😂
I don't know what Newton is taking about. Tony Romo was one of the best (if not the best) announcers in football from day one; who did he skip the line?
So Stephen A is saying Cam needs to cut off his dreads to get a job in the booth🤔!…got it!…
And that cam is too Ghetto…Got it!..
that’s crazy!…
Hes not charismatic enough or funny like a Tony Romo or Shannon Sharpe...His look isnt for Mainstream America which is a major problem, grown men look at him like hes still searching for himself
Nobody wants to see a dude dressed like somebody's grandmother talking about the game of football 😂
@@ShawnReed-ny1hd the camera is rarely on the commentators…it’s literally on the field!…and Cam is just as qualified as Tony Romo!..if not more!…
The answer is simple Lions take care of Lions and Panthers take care of Panthers. It's sad but A man puts his family first, all we can do is wait for the most high to return. There are plenty people who are deserving there just not priority. SA is one of them.
5:20 Yessssss💯
I disagree u can put all them in that unless he went to school an study in the field it's a great question
Sas gets paid 12 million a year to be wrong all the time I'd say blacks in the media are doing ok😂
That CTE hitting hard
Louis Riddick is one of the best ever. Cam looks like a Nuclear Pilgrim.
Being professional and looking professional is required for most jobs. Intentionally being controversial, talking bad about everyone and playing a victim is frowned upon in every industry up-and-down. Those with the power to higher are concerned with viewership and making money….Cam managed to turn the only organization that ever adored him - The Panthers- against him and his last attempt at playing football… he was arrogant and delusional, right up until the end. He doesn’t have the skills and he certainly doesn’t have the money making marketability for prime time TV… the only people giving a damn about his RUclipss are people that love his drama and controversy and trashy guests… that’s a very small percentage of the football fan world.
I'm tired of people always playing the race card. The reality is you're just not fucking good enough.
Amen Stephen, Amen
Real Talk
Meanwhile Stephen A is the highest paid sports anchor on tv
4:18 oh lord confirm
willingness to capitulate… well said
Money is earned people who pay the money want who they want.
I break things to the simplest form who would you want ride next to you on a trip your brother or a strange all things being equal ?
