Brandon Marshall: White Players Are Treated Differently Than Black Players In NFL

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) —Brandon Marshall isn’t afraid to speak his mind, and that was on full display on Tuesday night.

Discussing the nullification of Tom Brady’s four-game suspension on Showtime’s “Inside the NFL,” the Jets’ wide receiver theorized about how race might have played a role in Judge Richard M. Berman’s decision.

“White players, specifically at the quarterback position, are treated differently,” the five-time Pro Bowler said.

Marshall told host Adam Schein that many black players feel that they are held to different standards than their white counterparts.

“Absolutely,” Marshall said.
