The NFL isn't planning to punish Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton for sexist comments he made Wednesday toward female reporter Jourdan Rodrigue of the Charlotte Observer.
League spokesperson Joe Lockhart said Thursday the NFL won't "pursue further action" against Newton, but he called the remarks "just wrong," per Ben Volin of the Boston Globe.
Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports noted the league added there are still "ongoing talks at the team level" regarding the quarterback's response to Rodrigue's question.
"It's funny to hear a female talk about routes like—it's funny," Newton said Wednesday.
