Ever since his title changed from New England Patriots Tight End to Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots Tight End, Martellus Bennett has been shouting from his platform like never before.

The former Aggie tight end made headlines immediately following Sunday's Super Bowl when it was reported that he will not visit the White House with the Patriots, and it appears that he's using the spotlight to try and inspire as many people as humanly possible. 

So here's Marty B to kick off your weekend with a little lot of tweet-spiration.

You're reaching if you're calling what MB is saying as left wing garbage. He mentions no one and no political entity by name. It's not even a negative message, it's a positive one. I'm sorry that you're angry about whatever it is right now. But, this Marty, a fellow Aggie, is not the enemy here.

Marty being Marty. He has always been a free spirit.

Lot of snowflakes on here posting while Marty is doing.

I think it is great that he is using his time and his money to help others.

I think you are being deliberately obtuse.

Actually, Marty posting on twitter is what started all of this.

And just because someone posts on this site or other social media doesn't mean they aren't doing anything.

To be accurate, you generally won't find many conservative or libertarian minded folks that aren't "doing something". For the vast majority of right-leaning folks, doing something is what takes up most of their time. Going to work every day, raising a family, paying their taxes, helping others where they can. They just tend to mind their own business because their own business is how they make ends meet.

And the "snowflakes" of the world are those that take to social media to talk about how unfair life isand to tell others how "unjust" life is.

No, you, the Bennetts and your ilk are the snowflakes, and you are what is wrong with this culture and our country.

Have a nice day.

He's the exact kind of person we should hope our football players turn out to be. You know, if you can get over the fact that his political views don't match your grandpa's, like your own do.


You mean the grandfathers who braved the raising of psyco hippie children? Why don't you say what you mean? You hate white men. Capitalism. Rugged individualism. Self determination. Christianity. The Bill of Rights. Freedom from oppressive government. Domestic tranquility.You hate the United States of America and advocate cultural Marxism.


You have no idea what you're talking about. Per usual.

You choosing to not go to the White House ... don't go ... I don't need to know. Your loss.

You choose to be transgendered, gay, blue, green, yellow or whatever ... I don't need to know. Do your business in your own privacy.

You choose to not honor the flag or others that deserve honor ... I don't like it. I don't have to live it.

I don't see him seeking praise. Why do people get bent out of shape when someone lawfully exercises their rights?
Because jerks don't care about rights or the beliefs of others, they want everyone to believe and act as they do.


Was there a similar thread the last Patriots win about Tom Brady skipping the White House trip?

Texags is so oversensitive when someone does something well within their rights that isn't the prevailing thought here.

This guy and his brother are a couple pieces of work.

I assume, with all of the chest thumping about his multidimensional talents, "Marty" must have graduated at or near the top of his class in high school and college? Oh he didn't? But, he is a man of many leather bound books, right? Impressive.

Marty, if you want people to respect you, remove the chip from your shoulder. Help your brother lose his too. The chip does neither of you any good. It makes you appear angry and have internal issues with which you need to deal. (Notice I didn't end my sentence with a preposition.)

People respect accomplishment over rhetoric. That is precisely why you have achieved respect on the athletic field. Don't be upset if people assume a tall, great physically condititoned, black guy is an athlete. It is not meant as a slight. Again, that chip.

If you have more talents than pushing other people around on a football field and catching a ball, people will notice, but you need to do it, not just talk about it.

Ignorance doesn't inspire me. I feel sorry for his sweet little girl. How does this kind of stupidity develop . Living off the enormous fat of this incredible country and you want to ***** about it? Wish he wasn't an Aggie.
Old Army. Sorry. The Old Army that has saved this country over and over. Of course Marty and Mokry wouldn't know anything about those who gave their lives like my little league teammate, college friend and two uncles who died so they can make millions playing a game. No wonder NFL and NBA viewership is down substantially.

Ok. Typically when someone says you share your grandfather's beliefs, that is a veiled accusation of racism, xenophobia, homophobia, and sexism. Non of which factor in my legitimate beef with the bedwetter Marty B.

So, you telling other people what to do, because you are "inspired" by MB is somehow okay, but when others don't like his attitude and his constant whining, that is somehow not okay.

Basically, you are the snowflake that feels like you can express your feelings but when others do the same you decide to lecture them specifically about expressing their feelings.

You are a real piece of work and a very good example of why this country is doomed.


Lol. Your *** is showing, Lat. Respectfully, of course.

I never said I was inspired by MBs tweets. In fact, I could give turds what he has to say. What he says isn't going to change my life in the slightest. Or yours either for that matter. If you don't like it, ignore it and stop getting outraged and getting your little panties in a wad. If it inspires you, fine. Go do something great.

I don't agree wth him sitting down during the national anthem. But that doesn't matter. I support his right to do whatever he wants to do, as long as it doesn't infringe on anyone else rights and as long as he's willing to deal with the consequences of his actions. If he wants to spend all his Super Bowl winnings on hookers and blow, who cares. I hope he has a good time. He'll just need to deal whatever consequences come as a result of that action. If he wants to use it to build a library in some inner city, good on him. That's much less selfless, but I honestly still don't care. Neither impacts me.

If more people would take more personal responsibility and accountability for their actions and situations, and stop worrying about what other people are doing or going to do for them, we'd be in a much better place.

good for him for actually doing something worthwhile with his time and money if he actually is going to open up 'coding camps' or fund some type of educational program.

I can't discount his opinion either because I didn't grow up as he did. I was fortunate to have parents that gave me all they could to help me succeed. Many kids are not as lucky and simply don't have any worthwhile adults caring enough to push them to a successful occupation. He could be blowing through his money at clubs or vacations for him and his crew but he's choosing to use it for educating kids... for that, kudos to him.

If trying to get kids to read, write, code, play an instrument, and generally aspire to achieve in the classroom is "left wing", then I suppose I am left wing.

you know these kind of passive aggressive holier than thou statements really drive me up the wall.

He's stating his opinion just like you are too yet nobody is bashing you like you are here.

But I'm going to use your statement to say that YOU is what is wrong with this culture and country. Remember that when you point the finger at someone there is one pointing right back at you.

Rather than criticize and make an asinine statement like that remain silent because you're not really saying anything more than what you've already stated.
