Cam Newton: Reporter at centre of sexism storm apologises for racist remarks
Newton has been slammed for sexism after he laughed and joked at a question being asked by a female.
Jourdan Rodrigue quizzed the NFL quarterback on tactics and route strategy.
And Newton has been accused of making degrading remarks and universally slammed.
He apologised today for his comments on Wednesday.
But now Charlotte Observer reporter Rodrigue has been forced to apologise herself for comments she made on Twitter in the past.
"I apologise for the offensive tweets from my Twitter account from 4/5 years ago. There is no excuse for these tweets and the sentiment behind them. I am deeply sorry and apologise," she said.
