Cam Newton about safety concerns. He has been open about the late hits and helmet-to-helmet blows he takes, even . He promised to change his playing style and .

So why are we still not seeing flags on the field when this dude gets drilled in the head?

Didn't matter. Redskins linebacker Trent Murphy nailed him anyway. Textbook definition of a personal foul, right? Wrong. No flag.

Cam Newton just got flagged for this...... After he was hit in the head.....

But it gets more ridiculous! Newton was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct because he threw the football in Murphy's direction after the play.

The penalty pushed the Panthers out of field-goal range and forced them to punt.

We might actually see this scenario in the second half.

Referee: Unsportsmanlike conduct, No. 1, offense...

Sometimes it seem the defense does get away with a lot of hits on Cam.

Because he's black... If he were White like Brady, etc... he'd get the calls.
