Talk about tough! This weekend Jordan Spieth pretty much imploded on the 12th hole and it was all downhill from there. As his play continued to spiral down the drain, it started to become clear that he might just lose the 2016 Masters. Which, as many of you know, he definitely did. Danny Willett seized the opportunity and secured his place among green jacket wearers. To be honest, the previous two holes probably were still in the back of his mind and contributed to the demise. Surprisingly, this was not the most talked about story of the Masters. No, not at all. Instead, the internet is too busy comparing how he took the loss. Comparing to whom you might ask. None other than the Carolina Panthers signal caller, Auburn University National Champion, and Heisman Trophy winner, Cam Newton.
Now some of you may not be aware, but I'm a HUGE Cam Newton fan. Since he took my Auburn Tigers to the college football promise land, he has been and will continue to be my favorite player. With that being said, I still think he could have handled that Super Bowl loss a little better. Spieth had to award Willett the green jacket after all that he went through and did it as honorably as possible. No pouting, no tantrums, no quick exits, he just did what he was supposed to do and carried himself with more sportsmanship than anyone I have ever seen.
SO FREAKING WHAT?!
It was definitely commendable, but I could care less! I know for a fact that many of the critics would have handled a loss in a game of rock-paper-scissors worse than Cam did! He just lost a Super Bowl! After only losing one single game the entire year, you expect him to be happy for the team that took his ring??? Get a life! Cam Newton handled that loss like a human being! He shouldn't even be in this conversation! The fact that people are still stuck on one arguably poor reaction is blowing my mind. It's a game to you, it's his life. Golfers have many majors tourneys to win. There is but one Super Bowl. So congratulations Danny Willett. You played a great game and earned that jacket. And to all the Cam Newton critics, you know what you can do...
