With someone trying to replace Tom Brady, plus the racial tension that currently exists in the country, what is the likelihood that the Cam Newton experience flames out in dramatic fashion?
While Massachusetts considers itself a paragon of virtue, Murph and Sully in Gilette Stadium have a muddier reputation.
Imagine Cam - the black man whose swagger has unfairly caused him to be a lightning rod from the moment hes entered the league - takes a knee prior to every game. Hell, lets imagine after every touchdown throw he takes one, and after every touchdown run he Supermans. How do we expect Murph and Sully to react? How do we expect them to react after Cam has an off game? How do we expect the Boston media to react?
Does Newton need to be perfect in order for this experiment NOT to fail? Are Murph and Sully ready for Superman Cam? Quite honestly, I'm nervous. This may peel the mask back to reveal a monster of quite a few fans in this region.
And maybe thats a good thing.
Or not.
