I don’t like fake apologies, even though a fake apology sometimes is the best way to get the media off your back.
Fans and media prefer pretty lies to ugly truth. One thing about Cam Newton is he isn’t fake, he is real sometimes to his own detriment.
He could have went the easy route when asked about the presser and diving on the fumble, but he simply isn’t going to do certain things that he doesn’t believe in. One of those things is lie to make himself look better.
Cam Newton making no apologies for postgame press conference. "Show me a good loser and I'll show you a loser."

Cam Newton: "If I offended anyone, that's cool." But said he would not conform for anyone.

As for not diving on the fumble, Cam says he would've had to contort his his leg in a certain angle to do so. …thereby risking injury

Cam said quarterbacks will throw an interception and not give effort going for the tackle, nobody ever says anything.

It is ok to disagree with Cam on these statements. I think he should stayed longer at the presser and dived head first for that fumble. He addressed, media and fans can address it, then we can move on.
There are a lot worse things happening in the NFL than a player leaving a press conference early after losing the Super Bowl, so no need to make it bigger than it actually is.
Cam: "I don't have to conform to anybody's wants for me. I'm not that guy. This is a great league with or without me. I am my own person."
