Martellus Bennett Black Olympics YouTube Video
Dallas Cowboys tight end Martellus Bennett is taking heat for a YouTube video titled “Black Olympics” where he and his brother Michael, a rookie for the Seattle Seahawks, are seen competing in fried chicken and watermelon eating and Kool-Aid drinking. (See video below)
According to Bennett, “Me and all my brothers were in the kitchen and as I looked around, I noticed we were eating every stereotype. We got chicken, kool aid, watermelon, we might as well do a Black Olympics. That’s what happened.”
Bennett was criticized earlier this week for being insensitive by Kansas City Star columnist Jason Whitlock.
Bennett says, “I don’t really think it’s offensive. It depends on your sense of humor and how you look at things. We were just having fun and it was very funny for me and my brothers, when I look at it I just can’t stop laughing. If someone takes offense, I apologize. That wasn’t my intention. It was just us having fun. Some people like what you do and some people don’t. Always in life, anything you do, someone is going to have a different opinion than what you have.”

Well, Well, Well…
I am not offended, but I didnt think it was HYSTERICAL..like his statement..
I mean its kinda funny….I liked the part where they mention the gold medalist Michael Phelps ..
I DID NOTICE SOMETHING ELSE:
During the chicken eating contest, the cameraman clearly says that not eating tall of he chicken off the bone and declaring yourself the winner….
was like shouting out BINGO before getting all Four Spots on the board.
B=1
I = 2
N=3
G=4
O=5
All four…he must have meant the free space? Or maybe colores people only play to “BING” or “INGO”
That my friends, should be the story…
