After the game, Newton said he didn’t mean any disrespect by it. Honestly, though, it’s less about what Newton meant and more about how the quarterback explained his actions.

Only a man who dubbed himself “SuperCam” can pull off a metaphor about a sign using Whoppers and McDonald’s, while subtly sneaking in an endorsement for one of his sponsors. I think it’s safe to say Newton is a business guru.
Here’s part of his hilarious postgame quote.
You have to appreciate how he seamlessly tossed in Under Armour’s “we must protect this house” slogan. I’m a little disappointed he couldn’t work in a line about yogurt.
“I was passing, the sign was dangling, either somebody was going to have to take it off or I take it off. It’s not disrespect to nobody. It’s just more of a respect to the stadium. We all know gangs. We all know territories. We all know businesses. You’re not about to sit up here and sell a Whopper at no McDonald’s, you know what I’m saying?”
