"I'm disappointed. It feeds into an old, outdated stereotype that women shouldn't be in a male-dominated field." — @ShannonSharpe pic.twitter.com/OTDkYgXgWe

During a news conference Wednesday, a female reporter asked the quarterback a question about a wide receiver and his routes. Newton then responded by saying it was “funny to hear a female” asking a question about routes.
Since Newton’s comments, Dannon, the maker of Oikos Greek Yogurt, has cut ties with the quarterback.
We’re disheartened by Cam Newton’s behavior, which we perceive as sexist. We shared our concerns with Cam & will no longer work with him.
