A former Super Bowl champion said Thursday top white NFL quarterbacks should pick up where Colin Kaepernick was forced to leave off and begin kneeling for the national anthem to bring awareness to perceived racial and social injustice.
Martellus Bennett, who won a Super Bowl with the New England Patriots in 2016 and made the Pro Bowl with the Chicago Bears in 2014, appeared at an Athletes + Activism forum hosted by The Atlantic columnist Jemele Hill.
He said if Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Drew Brees joined the movement, it could cause some change, according to Yahoo Sports.
“If Peyton Manning joined the conversation, the conversation in the NFL would change,” Bennett said.
“If Drew Brees came in and really joined the conversation, it would change.
Tom Brady. All these great white heroes that they have running around, throwing the football — if they jump into the conversation, it would be so much bigger.”
Manning is retired, so it's not clear how Bennett believes he could aid the movement.

“Nike released a special edition Colin Kaepernick jersey Wednesday just days after the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback settled a grievance with the NFL.
The Kaepernick Icon Jersey – a black design with white lettering – resembles the ‘#ImWithKap’ jerseys that quickly sold out last fall. The jersey sells for $150.”
These mutants are busy having a “conversation” ... while real professional athletes are busy winning. This perfectly explains why none of the malcontented losers who engage in this sort of idiocy ever accomplish anything.
I really don’t think white American vets will want to kneel with Kapernick.
“You should keep your stupid and useless advise to yourself, and stay off the threads that I post. How’s that sound? (worthless jackass)”
My comments are neither stupid nor useless. I will avoid your threads, however, not because you seem to think you can order me to, but because I find your comments to be repugnant and your huge lists of repetitive articles and pictures a waste of bandwidth. How’s that sound? (Useless obsessive-compulsive pinworm)
Watch how Carter used to tuck the ball in tight before delivery...
All heros from my teen league bowling days. Wonder what happened to my patches and trophies?
Nothing wrong with people posting pictures.....
Many if not most black vets either. At least not the ones who appreciate all this still great country has to offer. Same goes for many non-veteran blacks. If they knew what this crap was really about, they'd want no part of it.
Get off the thread, you mindless idiot.
A bowler said that? Did a caddy say anything? How about a maestro?
That’s the Earl Anthony I remember.
I quit bowling in 1977...The manager of the house where I bowled was charged by another lanes manager of “blocking” the lanes...He didn’t and was railroaded...
When I quit, I was 28 years old, bowling in 5 leagues a week, low average in those 5 leagues was about 188...High was 197...
There was an architects/engineers bowling league in mid-town Manhattan. Played on our office team till 1973. Alleys were in Port Authority Building. Lots of fun.
I didn't just post random pictures. I provided various pieces of evidence (photos and text) regarding the true nature of this movement. If you were to ask many if not most people here prior, they likely would not have been able to tell you or explain to you a fraction of what I provided here regarding the revolutionary communist motivation behind it. Some obviously knew about it, but most certainly do not. Hannity and Limbaugh don't even go there.
Lol! I currently live about 3 blocks from the PA.

Poor Black man, life just is hard...
Right...As I said...I see nothing wrong with posting pictures in here...
Big Ern McCracken!
