In a recent episode of First Take, Cam Newton surprised his colleagues by drawing attention to a lawsuit against Fox Sports while discussing Ravens tight end Mark Andrews. Newton argued that criticism of Andrews for avoiding media was misplaced, stating that the network should also face scrutiny for not addressing a serious lawsuit involving its own personalities. His comments suggested a double standard in how athletes and media figures are held accountable, prompting an explanation from co-host Molly Qerim that Newton was advocating for less pressure on Andrews to speak immediately after a tough loss.
I'm going to go with the unpopular pick, but I want everybody to keep this same energy in other commodities; we haven't been holding people to the same fire.
When there's a Fox report that comes out, and we haven't heard anybody speak about anything... why are we talking about making a big fuss about Mark Andrews if you're not going to keep that same energy across the board?
Molly Qerim jumped in to clarify, explaining that she interpreted Newton's words as him arguing that no one should be forced to jump in front of a microphone in the immediate aftermath of something major.
Cam Newton called out Fox Sports for its silence on an explosive lawsuit involving prominent figures at the network, while criticizing the scrutiny on Ravens player Mark Andrews.
