Former NFL tight end Martellus Bennett spoke out on Thursday regarding a lack of black NFL booth commentators.
After a Twitter user suggested Bennett become a commentator, he responded by tweeting, "How many black commentators are there calling games in the booth? Asking for a friend."
Bennett then tweeted about the fact that former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo and tight end Jason Witten, as well as former Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler were offered commentary jobs immediately upon retirement:
Martellus Bennett@wyche89 Exactly. People trying to tell me it take years to earn your way in the booth and Witt.
