Fort Worth -
What was only fun and games to Cowboys Tight End Martellus Bennett, Critcs are calling an attention grab, at the expense of his own people...
Recently, on his own you tube channel, Marty B TV... Bennett posted a video clip called "The Black Olympics," which has drawn a lot of criticism, saying it's racist toward African Americans. Martellus doesn't agree. He says the incident is being blown out of proportion and he has no reason to apologize...
"I was surprised by the reaction but at the same time, I didn't really care because it wasn't like my first video. That was wrong when I was cursing and things like that. That was wrong. It was funny but it was wrong. But this last one, i didn't really see what was wrong with it, Bennett said."
Earlier during the off season, The Cowboys fined Martellus over 20 thousand dollars for a profanity laced rap he posted on you tube. Bennett doesn't expect the team to act on his latest video clip and according to Martellus, not all of the feedback has been negative... Martellus says the kids who attended the Brandon bass summer youth basketball camp Tuesday, enjoyed the Black Olympics.
Martellus says, "Some of them asked me if they could race me eating chicken already. they say hey, I think I can eat chicken faster than you. I said I doubt it if you could so I mean it's just fun and games."
