Patriots’ Michael Bennett shouts ‘Wakanda Forever’ instead of his college during player intros

New England Patriots defensive end Michael Bennett invoked the Marvel Cinematic Universe movie “Black Panther” during his player intro on “Sunday Night Football.”

During the introduction of the Patriots defensive starters, where players typically state their name and the college they went to, Bennett opted for a different idea.

“Michael Bennett, Wakanda Forever!” Bennett shouted, crossing his arms to emulate the salute given by characters in the movie.

Everybody behaves for Belichick. Everybody.

Even Aaron Hernandez?

Now you know why they call the NFL “The N.F.L.”

Perhaps all that President Obama has done for the Steelers since February 2009 (2 weeks after his initial inauguration) will continue to help them!

No, it's a meme.

The high school kids where doing it as a joke all last year.

It's like 'Rick Rolling', or saying 'Kek', just a nerdy prank.

Can you imagine feeling genuine racial pride over a fictional nation from a comic book?

Much like their phony holiday Kwanzaa.

Stopped watching the NFL and NBA in 1992. Don’t care about it and it sure as hell doesn’t matter to me. Perhaps if there were more US citizens that acted similarly this problem would extinguish itself in short order.

Maybe he should be the adoptive father of every kid without one in the black and puerto rican neighborhoods :)

I REALLY BELIEVE that even at their ages, these blacks players are SCREAMING for validation and attention, because they are INCREDIBLY insecure and probably raging from their lives.

I know that sounds liberal, lol, but I DONT recommend coddling them.

I think WHACKING THEM HARD is the best attention they can get.

It just might change some of them.

We forget sometimes that a lot of these players are kids

I’m still waiting to mature at 51! :)

But those here that know me know that already lol

I winter camped at Camp Wauconda as a new Boy Scout.

It was where I had my first snipe hunt (joke on me!) and the cabin had no heat. It got to zero degrees that first night. Glad I had extra clothing and a thicker sleeping bag.

Could you imagine a QB throwing up the vulcan hand sign and screaming “live long and prosper”

Think that’d be celebrated by the media?

Hate to break it to them, but comic books are printed on white paper.

(Almost white, pulpy cream . . . maybe worse.)

The Steelers are finished.

Receivers have dropped at least half of Ben's passes. AB wouldn't.

He needs to spend some time in the Bahamas—they could use some of that Wakanda fairy dust right now—otherwise those evil white Yankee honkies will have to save them.
