Cam Newton reaffirmed his controversial comments about the Carolina Panthers’ locker room culture before he was drafted in 2011, claiming it reflected a losing mentality. He expressed frustration over the sensitivity towards harsh truths, emphasizing that his remarks were about the team's collective approach rather than individual players. Former Panthers receiver Steve Smith Sr. responded negatively to Newton's statements, highlighting the camaraderie and effort within the team. Despite the backlash, Newton stood by his assessment, insisting it was based on the prevailing culture during his time.
Newton emphasized, "When did we become so sensitive to really speaking what the reality is? A locker room full of losers? Aggressive, but it's true."
