Should We Really Care? (Logic says no, but ESPN says yes!)

Cam Newton, he seems to be okay at what he does, he does football well.  He has all the makings of a good, but not great NFL Quarterback.  He can throw the ball accurately, as he proved in the throughout the season in the SEC.  If there is one thing we can learn from Tim Tebow's two successful starts, it is to never doubt an SEC no matter what people say about his chances in the pros; however, no one seems to be talking about Cam or his ability "to football".  While people should be buzzing about how he brought Auburn their second National Championship and their only other one was in 1957.  No, no, no...that is way too....uncontroversial?  The only news Cam Newton is making is hugging his father after the game because it was announced by ESPN announcers that Cecil Newton was not in attendance...why?  What does this have to do with anything?  Because Cecil Newton tried to do what hundreds of other parents did, but got caught and now suddenly his attempt to sell Cam to Mississippi State should keep everyone from appreciating his son's accomplishments?  It is a shame that people only want controversy now, it feeds the seemingly insatiable hunger for people to see that athletes are people.  Some like to think of athletes as being above us, which is ridiculous, but not even comparable in ridiculousness to the larger mass which loves to see an athlete fall because they don't deserve the millions they earn for "playing games".  It is"we'll give you more to come here".  The world is all about seeing athletes become famous and then fall.  Cam Newton doesn't deserve to be a Michael Vick or a Ben Rothlisberger, especially since he did literally zero things to get any bad publicity.  Cam Newton deserves to be called nothing but a great football player and a future professional player.  A Quarterback who can run a 4.5 forty but weighs in at 250-260 pounds.  He is a future star, if not at Quarterback then he could make one hell of a running back or wide receiver, but do you really not want an accurate, strong-armed, fast, 6'6" Quarterback who makes a difference every play on the field.  I almost forgot for a second there that Cam Newton's dad almost accepted money for him to attend a school he didn't attend.  The school he didn't just win a National Championship for as a Heisman Trophy Quarterback...so wait, should we care?  Probably not, but I guess until ESPN stops talking about it, people will.
