Cam Newton, the quarterback for the Carolina Panthers, lost an endorsement deal after making a comment earlier this week to a reporter that she deemed “sexist.”

Newton this week laughed at a question fielded by Charlotte Observer reporter Jourdan Rodrigue, saying it was “funny to hear a female talk about” about running wide receiver routes, ESPN reported.
