Cam Newton – Scott Zolak Apologizes To NFL Star For Saying Rap Music Is Distracting Him: It Was Racially Insensitive

“I’d turn off the rap music first of all, because I think it’s distracting for Cam. In between every throw he’s dancing. He makes a throw and the music’s still cranking.”

Although Cam Newton did not respond to the comments, Zolak claimed the two had a conversation and that Newton was ‘nothing but class.’ Zolak said of his comments,

“I should not even ever bring any sort of music into play, because I have no clue what’s going on in a player’s head.”

Many felt Zolak’s comments were bias and even racist being that rap music is usually associated with black culture. On referencing rap as a distraction, Zolak said,

“I blamed music for being a distraction in his preparation in-between a couple throws that he had and I referenced the genre of rap that was being played. That’s something I know that’s drawn attention for being racially insensitive. I’m sorry for that comment. I don’t need to make that comment.”
