NFL player, Cam Newton under fire for laughing at a female reporter

Cam Newton, quarterback for NFL team Carolina Panthers is under fire for laughing at a female reporter's use of football terminology during a press conference.

Reporter Jourdan Rodrigue, who covers the team for the Charlotte Observer, asked Newton about running receiver Devin Funchess embracing “the physicality of his routes."

Newton laughed abit and responded, "it’s funny to hear a female talk about routes, like … it’s funny.” The 2015 NFL Most Valuable Player twice told the assembled press that it was “funny” to hear a woman use the term before answering her question.

“I don't think it's ‘funny’ to be a female and talk about routes. I think it's my job,” Rodrigue said on Twitter following the conference.

Shortly after, Carolina Panthers spokesperson Steven Drummond said that Newton had talked with Rodrigue after the press conference and said the 28-year-old "expressed regret" for his patronizing remarks.

In a statement, Rodrigue said Newton had not apologized to her following the conference. "I was dismayed by his response, which not only belittled me but countless other women before me and beside me who work in similar jobs. I sought Mr. Newton out as he left the locker room a few minutes later. He did not apologize for his comments," she said.

Spokesperson for the NFL Brain McCarthy also said Newton's words "'are just plain wrong and disrespectful to the exceptional female reporters and all journalists who cover our league,".

A young boy and his fellow gang members were murdered in a gruesome manner after they recorded a video threatening an older gang in Brazil.

They were later caught by the older gang members who then tortured them then blew their heads out. The bodies of the young boys were then left on the street with their brains scattered all over the floor. The older group went on to share videos of them torturing the 13-year-old leader of the gang before killing him and the rest of his crew. A video of their corpse was also shared. The video of the 13-year-old gang leader being tortured is really pathetic because the boy looks so innocent and still has the face of a child. Here is a video of them making the threats.
