Cam Newton’s father, Cecil, slammed the NFL officials for bias against his son.

The Denver Broncos got away with several hits to the head against Newton Thursday night, and his father is certainly not happy about it.

“I’m not just going to always say it’s race; I’m not going to keep fanning the flames of race in every situation,” Cecil Newton told ESPN. “But it causes me to wonder. Help me understand through transparency. Commissioner Roger Goodell and NFL, help me understand how this can happen to the reigning MVP. Explain that to me. I’m not going to fan the flames of race in this particular category, but I really sit back and ask myself, ‘Would this have happened to some of his other fellow colleagues?’ Let the public answer the question for themselves.”

Cam’s father said he’s starting to question the consistency of how games are called, the intent of the defensive players and the intent of the officials.

“I’m beginning to question the consistency of how games are being called — and who they would call this particular play against versus this particular player,” Newton’s father said. “Was Cam treated differently from other quarterbacks? In this case, yes he was — clearly. Anybody who has followed the game for any length of time and has a working knowledge of how the game is to be played would agree with that statement. People throw all these jingles out there about he’s mobile, he’s bigger, he’s more physical. There’s a lot of this and that. At the end of the day, Cam deserves to be protected just like Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, Ryan Tannehill, Kirk Cousins, Andy Dalton, and the list goes on and on. I know a good hit when I see a good hit. I was a defensive player, and I played the game at the highest level as well. But when you deliberately target and when you’re constantly being hit after the ball is out, I question the intent of the defensive player, and I question the official.”

If you watched Thursday night’s game, it appeared that Newton did get hit illegally a few different times with no call from the officials.

Newton continued and called on the officials to do a better, unbiased job.

“I don’t speak in the voice of Cam Newton,” Cecil Newton said. “I speak in the voice of Cecil Newton. I’m the father. I speak from what I saw. I’m disappointed in the officiating crew, as a fan of the NFL. … These guys have to do a better, unbiased job.”
