Original sentence: Newton was called a "thug" by some reporter due to his flamoyant clothing choices during press conferences and off the field
Edited sentence: In 2015, controversy arose when Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton was seen celebrating a touchdown against the Tennessee Titans with the dab.Many commentators said that Newton's celebration made him "look like a thug" especially when Titans players became upset at Newton for it, but it was also noted that he had been performing the dance as his touchdown celebration all year up to that point with little notice given until the Panthers were seen as a legitimate Super Bowl contender.Newton was also called a "thug" by some reporters simply due to his clothing choices during press conferences and off the field, despite refraining from questionable behaviors seen in white quarterbacks such as Johnny Manziel.The dab celebration was similar to flamboyant celebrations by white quarterbacks such as Drew Stanton's dance against the Seattle Seahawks and Aaron Rodgers' "championship belt"
