Young girl takes on NFL’s Cam Newton to prove women know about ‘routes’

A young football fan is taking a stand against one of the NFL’s biggest stars over sexist comments he made towards a female reporter earlier this month.

Seven-year-old Resse posted video on her father’s Twitter account on Oct. 6 proving she knew a lot about “routes.”

“This is a corner route. This is a slant route. This is a post, up and over,” the young Philadelphia Eagles fan says with confidence in the video, while holding pieces of paper with football plays drawn on them.

“This is a curl. My hair curls when it rains.”

“We decided to put the video together just to show Cam Newton that the female fans here in Philadelphia do know their football,” Reese’s father, Eric, told WCAU.

At least one sponsor dropped Newton as a spokesperson.

Newton released an apology a day after his comments, saying his “word choice was extremely degrading and disrespectful to women.”

The apology was clearly not enough for Reese and her father Erick, who are die-hard Philadelphia Eagles fan.

“He apologized and we appreciated the apology. But, as we’re playing the Panthers on Thursday, you know, we’re Eagles fans, so we like to talk a little smack. Right? Right baby?” Reese responded to her father with a nod.

The young girl didn’t hold back from taking shots at Newton either.

The video received thousands of retweets since being shared.

Eric hopes the video will bring awareness to sexism and gender inequalities.
