During a press conference on Wednesday, Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton was asked about Devin Funchess' route-running ability by Jourdan Rodrigue, a reporter from the Charlotte Observer.
In response to the question, he laughed and said, "It's funny to hear a female talk about routes."
Rodrigue responded on Twitter and tweeted, "I don't think it's 'funny' to be a female and talk about routes. I think it's my job."

Uh, that’s a really, really bad way to answer a legitimate question. (video via https://t.co/NOdIiKyJCb) pic.twitter.com/MaS4KVjuSV

I don't think it's "funny" to be a female and talk about routes. I think it's my job.

I spoke with him after and it was worse. I chose not to share, because I have an actual job to do today and one he will not keep me from.
