That's for sure. Once upon a time I actually thought a lot of the hate Cam received was racism, but I've come to change my opinion a bit. I'm sure for some that plays a part, but I've noticed people hate on Baker in a similar fashion.
Personally, I like how Mahomes handles interviews because you literally cannot hate it and it doesn't cause drama, but I also love when players are a bit different and go off script. Richard Sherman's tirade about Crabtree was one of my favorite things ever. Mayfield hasn't mastered it yet so he just comes off as a douche, but Kelce and Gronk in interviews are hilarious. I think the personalities shining through add another layer to the sport.
