However, he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/state-dept-calls-on-iran-to-end-dangerous-nuclear-buildup\/\" title=\"State Dept.

He added that &#8220;people have hinted&#8221; to him that the league dumped him because he isn&#8217;t the &#8220;clean-cut Cam&#8221; he once was because of his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/cam-newton-alleges-hes-not-playing-in-the-nfl-due-to-his-dreadlocks\/\" title=\"Cam Newton claims his dreadlocks are the reason he's not in the NFL.\">dreadlock-style hair<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Embracing Who He Is<\/h3>\n<p>Newton explained that he is happy with who he is and won&#8217;t change for anyone. &#8220;Right now, where I&#8217;m at, it&#8217;s about embracing who I am,&#8221; he said. He also pointed out that other quarterbacks in the league have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/college-coach-quits-after-being-accused-of-making-microaggressive-comments-about-black-cheerleaders-hairstyle\/\" title=\"College Coach Quits After Being Accused Of Making \u2018Microaggressive Comments\u2019 About Black Cheerleader\u2019s Hairstyle\">long hair<\/a> but aren&#8217;t criticized for it.<\/p>\n<p>Despite his unemployment, Newton is content with his life. &#8220;Where I&#8217;m at right now in my life\u2014do I need the NFL? No. Does the NFL need me? Hell no. And I think that understanding is the reason why I&#8217;m able to kinda be fine,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<h3>Outspoken on and off the Field<\/h3>\n<p>Newton has always been outspoken, both on and off the field. Last year, he advised women to stop being &#8220;bad bitches&#8221; and get back to cooking and cleaning for their men. He clarified that he wasn&#8217;t using the term to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/mccaul-blasts-china-for-worst-coverup-in-human-history\/\" title=\"McCaul Blasts China For 'Worst Coverup In Human History'\">degrade women<\/a>, but rather to describe those who prioritize their appearance over their actions.<\/p>\n<p>Despite his controversial statements, Newton remains a respected athlete and public figure. Whether he returns to the NFL or not, he will always be remembered as a talented quarterback who stayed true to himself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cam Newton was released in 2021 by the Carolina Panthers and has been without a contract ever since, but now he seems to be saying that his lack of a contract isn\u2019t because of his playing, but because he refuses to get it rid of his hairstyle.
