When the Patriots’ Tom Brady didn’t shake Nick Foles’ hand after Sunday’s Super Bowl loss to the Eagles, some NFL fans called him a sore loser.
It also sparked a heated internet argument over Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton “doing the same thing” when the Panthers lost to Peyton Manning in the 2016 Super Bowl. Even media outlets like Fox News have joined the debate.
Problem is, Newton did shake Manning’s hand and there are photos to prove it. It’s a fake story, false rumor, or out right lie. Take your pick.
Newton’s countless fans have been arguing the point for days and they apparently won, as apologies and corrections have begun to spread on Twitter.
