“The Daily Show With Trevor Noah” called out the racial double standards between the Super Bowl 50 quarterbacks, Denver Broncos’ Peyton Manning and Carolina Panthers’ Cam Newton, on Thursday’s episode.
Newton was described as “the most rambunctious kid on the playground,” according to “The Daily Show,” while Manning was portrayed as a bookworm.
“How can you say Cam doesn’t study just because sometimes you see him dancing? John Travolta danced all the time and he’s a Scientist, people!” host Trevor Noah said.
But we know what’s going on, Noah said.
“American football is amazing, but it’s not classy. That’s why we love it,” he said. “It’s a bunch of guys smashing into each other and then slapping their asses. That’s the game. No one’s throwing the ball with a pinky up.”
