Titans Mother Offended by Cam Newton's "Dabbing" Changes Tune

Cam Newton scored a touchdown this past Sunday against the Tennessee Titans and did an end-zone dance, which drew a dumb letter from a mother in attendance who was outraged that her nine-year-old daughter had to see this:

Or...wait, sorry. Wrong video. Though it would've made more sense, nobody got mad about that. What I meant was that her daughter had to see this:

That mother, Rosemary Plorin, fired off an open letter to The Charlotte Observer, which in-turn sparked a bunch of identical online think pieces. Needless to say her not so well thought out words went viral. A couple excerpts included:

Those words, originally intended for the Charlotte-area, went national, which was bad for Plorin, but at least the intended target actually saw it. Asked about what he thought about the controversy (if that's what you want to call it) Newton gave a very easygoing response, and even offered up an apology...for whatever reason, saying:

After viewing Newton's answer, Plorin has re-thought her position on the Panthers' quarterback. She sent out an email to a reporter who asked for her response to...Cam's response:

Anyway, now that that's gone full circle, let this whole stupid saga serve as a warning for the next time you feel like firing off an open letter over an end-zone dance.

As much as you want to, and as important of a subject as it is, it's just not worth it.
