North/south, east/west, and revenge are a few other surface matters unrelated to politics, religion, or resources that people conceal a power struggle with.
The power struggle was said to be about equality, unity, or fairness, things that would sound good, noble, and righteous, and get more people (a wider audience or network of support) to fall in line with the agenda of a group looking to gain access or control of something.

On the surface, it was about racism, or sexism, or homophobia (or religion, or politics), and enemies of one group or another were given to the ones the group wanted to fall in line with their agenda, but when you got past all the bullshit, it was the same kind of power struggle any other power struggle had always been.

A few more things on a list of things people might struggle over are North/South, East/West, revenge, have/have not, meek/bold, and the list goes on to about anything you can think of. People will say/do about anything to get other people to agree/compromise with them getting what they want in the end.
Of course the person or group would say the power struggle was about equality or fairness, something that sounded more noble or righteous than it really was, since all people know that life isn't really fair for anybody. They knew that as kids, before they got good at deceiving people to make money.

Teenage girl- Don't touch me ever! I'll make your life a living hell!
Girl's father- Get the fuck out of here you little shit! Your purgatory isn't hell for anybody, hell is what I made my son's life when he was a little shit, while I don't do anything with you for being a little shit! No wonder you think you're making people's lives hell.

If theres a good thing that came out of Cam Newton's departure from Carolina, it is that Carolina wasnt quick to trade Cam for a white quarterback. It's a good thing for where the league is headed that quarterback and leadership opportunities have opened up, that the captain doesnt have to look, think, or act a certain way. There is such a thing as people who didn't and still don't respect Peyton Manning, so whether or not people respect you doesnt determine who you are or what you do in life, even if it has an effect on you.
There havent been a lot of guys doing what Cam Newton is doing now, theres also teammates, opponents, fans, coaches, and the media he's had to try and get recognition and respect for what he's doing, and has the potential to do. It's not an easy road even if you make a lot of money, but it does still come with choices. Theres a world filled with criticism, it's going to be there anyway.

It's good the league hasn't given up on something because it's still new and unfamiliar. Just like you make new friends though, you keep the old, you dont abandon the old or trade the old for the new, and things would go the same way with what the league is doing now.

Cam Newton was the most successful Panthers quarterback so far by one season in terms of trips to the playoffs, and in terms of having the best record, and a few other mindless statistics for the people that actually have a desire to measure somebody, but in reality he wasn't the only quarterback to ever be successful in Carolina. Some people remember a guy named Jake Delhomme who wasn't bad at what he did. Statistics don't really make one guy better than the other, people loved them both for a while, then they disappeared, and that's how it goes. Most people don't put a lot of importance on statistics or measures, any more than they do status. The shoes of Cam Newton will be the hardest to fill of the Panthers recent quarterbacks, that is certain.
Cam Newton was an excellent quarterback while in Carolina, and not everybody would make a successful quarterback. You can do things other people can't, and they can do things you can't, that is reality. Nobody has to turn into or emulate Cam Newton to do well as a quarterback, that is the point. Cam Newton is Cam Newton, Jake Delhomme was/is Jake Delhomme, and the next guy is the next guy, that's it.
