Trevor Noah doesn't think there's anything "classy" about the NFL.<br />Last week, the South African comedian spent a segment of his Comedy Central show criticizing the media's racial double standard when describing Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton and Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning.<br />"In the quarterback matchup between Peyton Manning of the Denver Broncos and Cam Newton of the Carolina Panthers, the differences are literally black and white," the video description reads.<br />Noah pointed to several examples, including how Manning gets praised for studying on the sidelines where as Newton gets called out for his end zone celebrations.<br />The reality, Noah said, is that "Peyton Manning is sitting on the bench every chance he gets is because he’s the oldest quarterback to ever start a Super Bowl.”<br />“This is about race," Noah said.<br />"And you know what I love about all the race conversations in society?<br />People always say it’s not about race."
