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.

Whatever. I can remember people wearing T shirts with “Frodo Lives!” on them. I’m not seeing anything here that gives me heart burn. People need to lighten up a bit. Black people are allowed to be geeky too.

Is that what that was?

I just assumed we couldn’t understand it because he was yelling out.

Damn fool.

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

Most commonly promoted "black history" and culture seems to be greatly twisted or manufactured for our present PC, feel-good era. Wakanda would be a logical progression.

Honest, as a Jets fan I’ve hated them my whole life.

Now I would be Thrilled to see anyone but NE win the superbowl.

Plus my interest has died over the past 3 or 4 years and it is actually disappointing.

I guess 40 years of losing will do that to you! :)

The only NFL game I’ve ever been to was the Superbowl when the Dolphins won every game and then defeated the Redskins.

I’ve never been a big fan of Ayn Rand. But to each their own, which was kinda my point.

WOW. Superbowl SEVEN! Cool.

I had to look it up.

I did try to go to that game but I was 4 and they were cracking down on driving without licenses :)

I didn’t read but that was a 12 game season, right?

Then the NFL got greedier :)

I could be wrong.

That's THE® Ohio State University. :-)

Auntie Maxine is Wakandan. That's why she has such a superior intellect.

No idea what that was supposed to mean?

Some sort of negro thing, I expect?

Sort of like that hilarious Kwanzaa thing?

Thr Kingdom of Wakanda was absorbed during the southward expansion of the Zulu nation in the 1830s. It remained as an autonomous free state until 1875 when every Wakandan was slain by rampaging Zulus as revenge for suspected Wakandan cooperation with the British during the Zulu wars. The Wakandan festival of life and hope was known as Kwanzaa. It is still celebrated today by people of color throughout the the world in remembrance of the great contributions made by the Wakandans to black society, namely truth, justice, and the African way.
It must be true, I read it in Rolling Stone.
