This begs the obvious question: Should they know who Cam Newton is? Newton was last season's NFL MVP, and his name was shoved down America's collective throat nearly every Sunday. It wasn't just for his football prowess, either: His dabbing and touchdown dances made him a controversial cultural figure.
