YouTube Athlete Video of the Week: Martellus Bennett's Black Olympics


by Matthew Allinson 07-18-2009 07:09 PM

I have to give it up to Martellus Bennett, Tight End of the Dallas Cowboys, for his creativity in producing videos on Marty B TV and generating buzz.

This video features both him and his older brother Michael of the Seattle Seahawks racing to out-eat each other in three eating/drinking events.  First, they tackle the fried chicken, then they see who can guzzle Kool-Aid the fastest, and lastly, they end with some watermelon.

While this video created controversy for some individuals who thought that it is racially inappropriate because it fuels stereotypes about African-Americans, it looks like good old-fashioned fun to me.

I am a fan of Marty B TV because he keeps it interesting, and after-all, it was his cereal-eating video that originally inspired me to create this column.
