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.

Watch how Carter used to tuck the ball in tight before delivery...


I like the guy in the back resetting the pins. Reminds me of the Flintstones.

Notice Rep. Maxine Waters surrounded by communists and sympathizers. Time for an investigation into her communist connections.

Yes, the time has long since passed. Talk about “collusion” with America’s enemies.

And, as you well know, she is far from alone in the demonRat party as far as links to dangerous communist orgs and individuals are concerned.

Of course the left-wing snooze media won’t go near it.

It’s too bad your thread devolved into a praise of bowlers.

I hope you didn’t beat your wife or kick your dog over that.

The more you express yourself the more you reveal what a miserable cranky, absolute moron you are.
