Cam Newton says he won’t be dabbing anymore
Carolina Panthers fans may be dabbing their eyes Thursday morning – quarterback Cam Newton said he’s no longer going to perform his signature celebration move from last season.
“I have to put that aside,†said Newton, who turned dabbing into a national craze in 2016.
The reigning NFL most valuable player made the comment during an interview on WFNZ-AM radio's “The Mac Attack†show.
And, really, it’s about time. Like most fads, dabbing was fun for a while but definitely has run its course.
If there's anyone who can make it stop, it’s Newton.
Newton didn’t rule out replacing dabbing with some other move.
“I have time,†he said. “I have till September to find out.â€
