Cam Newton chose not to get vaccinated. Bill Belichick chose to keep a quarterback room that was. Life is all about choices.
The New England Patriots stunned the sports world on Tuesday morning when Newton was released by the team. The timing caught everyone off guard as the decision went against every narrative that was in the public eye, as Newton and rookie Mac Jones were locked in a contested battle for the starting spot.

Did Belichick SAY that Cam was cut because he refused to be vaxed? Or is that just what this guy is saying?

Remember when the Left has the same ruthless reaction to Gay Men having unprotected sex in the era of AIDS? Oh yeah, never happened. Because it's all about power and it has nothing to do with health, humanity or reason.

In the long run it's going those of us that refuse to get vaxed that will be the smart ones.

Will the team pay his survivors if the shot kills him or maims him? The guy has natural immunity if I read correctly that he had had the virus. Immunity is better than the shot which is decaying quickly. What NAZI our people have become.

Re#4: NAZI: National SOCIALIST. It is important to point this out at every opportunity. I intend to do just that.

If Cam Newton was a great quarterback, why was he "locked in a contested battle for the starting spot?" Was Brady ever locked in a contested battle for the starting slot? From reading articles elsewhere, it sounds more complicated than just vaccine status.

I didn't think he did a great job last year, but I won't fault him for refusing the jab. Fortune is fickle, and I don't think this is the last we will see of him.

Belichick just came out and said not being vaccinated had nothing to do with his release. He even pointed out that the number of vaccinated players on his team that have had covid was a pretty high number.

Belichick did not cut Cam Newton because he refused the vaccination. Belichick has has murderers on his team. Belichick hired Antonio Brown. Newton is a great physical QB, but not a great mental one. That will not work with Belichick for any long period of time. Belichick wants a QB that studies the game nonstop, morning and night, and can deliver the football, without any turnovers. Belichick saw Mac Jones could deliver the football where needed, and that he studied the game, which is why he was named the starter.

This should send a message to blacks that a know sports figure refused the vaxx will they follow him? What will New York City do when all un-vaxxed blacks can't move within the city without 'cards'? Segregation by democrats this is going to get good.

Cam has to do what's best for Cam. He knows his body more than anyone else on the planet. I believe the vaxxing was a starting point for Belichick, poster #6.

The Pats were 7-9 with Cam. Belecheck ain't gonna be happy being 7-9, which is maybe what they'd be with Cam at the helm.
Unlike a lot of other rookie top draft picks QB's that are starting, the Pats have a decent offensive line to protect the QB (remember, they had a guy by the name of Brady there for awhile). They can afford to take a chance on a young QB that should have decent protection in the pocket.
Maybe the Pats will be 8-9 this year, but hey, they'll do it with a QB that could be the franchise for years.

Some things, like your health and maybe your fertility are worth more than a game full of hateful racists

Last year Cam had COVID. He doesn't need to be vaccinated. He already has been. He was vaccinated for COVID by COVID. He got the maximum protection. I will miss Cam's press conferences after games. I wish I could afford what he spends on threads.

Cam Newton is a class act. He has integrity and priorities. And in the right system, mad skills.
God blessem.

Since the new cases are Delta variants which has no vaccine, what the hell are they yapping about? Those who have been vaccinated are just or more likely to be infected. Is this another way to put that sinister stuff into people?

The way that pro sports players party, it's only a matter of time before the whole team catches it somewhere, even while vaxxed. Won't they feel silly for having dropped a valuable asset for no good reason?

Anything related to football has zero concern from me. Why on earth would I care about a bunch of millionaires playing a game. Our Country is falling apart. That is what I care about. For those that say a game helps you get thru the crap, I say, use your spare time to march against the Left. Putting the hurt to the Left should make you feel better. Watching grown men play with themselves, not so much. Have a blessed day.

As we watch the Vaxxed pass on in the next year or so...not getting Vaxed will look Really GOOD!

Cam probably was cut because his ankle never healed fully. After his injury at Carolina, he went vegan without the assistance of a knowledgeable nutritionist.

It's not just nurses and Walmart checkers being pressed. Here is a "star" who is turning down millions to remain unvaxxed. Be interesting whether Newton catches on with another team without vaxxing first.
