Cam Newton Is The Real Superman

Nothing will stop Cam from dabbing.

Cam Newton Is The Real Superman
Forbes

Cam Newton lights up any room with his million dollar smile. It is hard not to instantly fall in love with his charismatic personality and well-deserved confidence. His incredible talents have left Panthers fans in awe when he dabs after yet another touchdown. Business Insider called Cam Newton, “the greatest football player on the planet.” and stated, “The NFL will never be the same.” Breaking records like its his job, Newton demolished Peyton Manning’s record by 120 yards when he threw 400 yards in his first game, he ran 14 touchdowns in a season, more than any other NFL quarterback in history, broke Otto Graham’s record of 61 years for passing yards by any rookie quarterback, and he broke yet another record when he threw 30 touchdowns in a single season and rushed for ten of them.

In addition to his football talents, he generously gives back to the community on a regular basis. He lifts the spirits of sick kids in the hospital, he spearheaded and actively runs the Cam Newton Foundation, which is committed to addressing the social, physical, and educational needs of the youth, and he makes sure to give a lucky kid a football after each Panther touchdown.

After one long practice, Newton removed his cleats and signed one before giving them both to fan, Brian Cooper, as a gift. Cam spoke with him and then made his way back to the locker room in his socks. His love for life is contagious and inspiring. His genuine kindness is so rare and such a beautiful thing to witness. Many of his good deeds go unrecognized, but that does not stop Cam from spreading his love to everyone he comes in contact with.


It actually confuses me when someone says they don’t like Cam Newton. I assume their hate must stem from their lack of knowledge or pure jealousy. Yes, Cam dabs after making a touchdown, but Rogers jumps around and skips, Watt pretends to take selfies-- how is that any different from Cam?
Cam Newton is still criticized by his haters for the way he acted after the Panther’s Super Bowl loss. Let me remind you Peyton Manning acted in a similar way after the Colts lost to the Saints at Super Bowl XLIV. He ran off the field and did not shake hands with any of the Saints players. Cam did reach out to Peyton after the Super Bowl game and congratulated him. Yes, he was upset, but wouldn’t you be too if you had just lost such an important game? His behavior exhibits just how committed he is

to his team and his sport. It shows his passion for the game. Football is personal for him and that is why he is so successful and the face of the NFL. So if you’re okay with Peyton’s actions, but not Cam’s then you need to seriously reevaluate your double standard. Cam is not only a good person, he is the most gifted player in the NFL. This short article barely scratches the surface of all of Cam's accomplishments. It would be impossible to consolidate his amazing work on and off the field into any article.

So sorry haters, your argument is simply invalid and empty-- as Cam says, “too bad they don’t make band-aids for feelings.” Nothing will stop Cam from dabbing.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
