last week ebenezer samuel<\/strong> had an insightful<\/em><\/strong> (wise<\/a>, perceptive)\u00a0 about carolina panther<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>quarterback and likely 2015 nfl mvp, cam newton<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

starting from his early days as a panther…<\/p>\n

newton has drawn criticism<\/em> ever since the panthers chose him at no. 1 in the 2011 nfl\u00a0draft and his \u201cbody language<\/em>\u201d in losses led to<\/a> questions about his leadership<\/em>.<\/h4>\n

draw<\/strong> criticism<\/em> is attracting<\/em> or taking<\/em> the criticism. \u00a0body language<\/strong><\/em> is physical, non-verbal communication<\/em>.<\/p>\n

early in his pro career, critics dissed<\/span> cam and doubted his leadership<\/span> for making these faces when the panthers lost. (ap)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\"frustrated<\/p>\n

leadership<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0(characteristics a leader has) is one of several nouns that end with the suffix -ship<\/strong>. \u00a0some others are censorship<\/strong><\/em> (removal of part of a production or publication by people who find it offensive), citizenship<\/strong><\/em> (being an official member of a country), \u00a0friendship<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0(what two friends share) and championship\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>(the super bowl, for example). unfortunately, there is not one unifying characteristic\u00a0for all the -ships.<\/p>\n

despite carolina’s success, criticism of\u00a0cam has\u00a0continued<\/p>\n

this season, as carolina emerged as the nfl\u2019s most dangerous team and newton blossomed into<\/em> the game\u2019s most dangerous player, the bashing<\/em> found new \u2014 and more nonsensical<\/em> \u2014 levels.<\/h4>\n
