Martellus Bennett Had No Shortage Of Thoughts On The NFL's New Celebration Tutorial

We're developing an educational training video for players to show clear examples of appropriate and inappropriate celebrations. pic.twitter.com/3yzBxAaQuk

See the NFL promotes the logos not the players. The NBA promotes its players. Big difference.

— Martellus Bennett (@MartysaurusRex) March 22, 2017

NFL knows players wont be around long so they invest all resources into the building teamlogos for longevity. That's the constant variable.

— Martellus Bennett (@MartysaurusRex) March 22, 2017

NBA on the other hand they can invest in the players being the face of the entire league. Look at the advertising of both.

— Martellus Bennett (@MartysaurusRex) March 22, 2017

Except for the QB position. That's why they're the Face of the franchise.

I need to stop tweeting for 15 mins im going to need 15 minutes later this year to watch a dumb ass break dancing video during training camp

— Martellus Bennett (@MartysaurusRex) March 22, 2017

I'm going to be taking a 15 minute dump whenever we're supposed to watch this "educational" video. I can feel my stomach bubbling now

— Martellus Bennett (@MartysaurusRex) March 22, 2017

The nerve to tag the word "educational" on it. Lmfao. Y'all crazy for that. pic.twitter.com/kRDCtS78fZ

Yo @NFL why don't y'all go help out some of these players build up the communities that the majority of your players come from.

#StayWokeBruh they most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don't have any. You're all powerful people.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Is Martellus Bennett implying that are better ways for the NFL to spend their time and endless capital than by casting and producing an instructional video intent on showing grown ass men how to appropriately display their happiness? Is that what's happening here? Is he trying to lead me to believe that infantilizing a 'Key And Peele' sketch into something that resembles an outdated D.A.R.E. video shouldn't be the first priority of a league whose image problem is far from limited to end zone dances? Did he just mock the inherent educational value in showing professional athletes a distinct set of allowable celebrations? I don't want to put words in his tweets, but it reads to me like Martellus Bennett finds the NFL's dedication to turning their players into robotic, Madden-ized versions of themselves to be condescending. It's as if he doesn't think that the ranging personalities of his peers can be fully encapsulated in a patronizing video that will undoubtedly be more unintentionally funny then the VHS that was used to teach them how to wrap their birds when dealing with these B's.

Looks like someone doesn't realize that this has nothing to do with out-of-touch white executives trying to appease the older, excessively conservative demographic of their viewership. It's almost like one particularly outspoken tight end forgot that there are young, impressionable children watching, and that their lives could forever be effected by seeing their favorite wide receiver hump air or their role model of a running back destroy their innocence  by turning a football into prop faster than Carrot Top. So I ask you, Martellus Bennett, what about the kids....WHAT ABOUT THE KIDS?!?!?!

Oh y'all didn't know that I write children's books, animated films and make interactive apps. Thanks for sending that e-blast @NFL □□lol

P.S. Is it crazy to think that Troy Vincent has been tantalized into the sunken place by his tenure in the NFL front office? There's no way this dude had such a stick up his ass during his playing days. Either money talked, or Roger Goodell started clanking his tea cup and slipped him under his trance. Not saying the former Eagles' cornerback needs to 'Get Out', but someone might want to turn the flash on when they take a selfie with him during the filming of this tutorial on how to entertain appropriately. Ya know, just in case.
