What did Marshall pull out of his jersey?

The NFL Network team talked to him after the game. He said he had some sort of half-black, half-white glove in kind of a nod to the 1968 Olympic protest, only this celebrating the coming together of the country with the election of the first African-American president. And he said Stokley ran over to him and told him the game was too close they couldn't risk getting a penalty, so he ditched the glove.

Brilliant for Stokely to intervene -- just a shame that Marshall couldn't figure out the game situation all by himself. While political awareness is a good thing, he's got to develop some football awareness -- doing it after the game as a victory celebration would have been nearly as effective for his intent and much less disruptiive (and potentially damaging) to his team. He risks devolving into another ocho-cynco, undermining his talent with desperate attempts for personal attention at the expense of his team ... Why are these guys soooooo needy? :wacko:

Wow. Dumb time to do it but a lot of today's athletes owe much to those that came before them. Jim Brown was on the pre game and had some good things to say. I know LT has a lot of respect for those that come before him. Marshall may or may not. It could just be a stunt, he just needs to do things not during the game.

 

Jim Brown and the Ernie Davis movie may show how far we've come.

i'm not buying this from Marshall....not yet anyway. from the quick replay of it, it didn't look like a glove and

it sure looked like he pulled it out of his pants and it was gray, not black and white. i thought it was his cup.

some sort of whacked out stunt to show he doesn't quit on his team. :wacko:

Well I'm not going to go that far, but I did rewind it over and over....and to me it looked like a sparkly gray glove. I saw the whole thing and I didn't see any white nor black anywhere on it.

and....the reactions of his teamates, Stokley first then a bunch of others surrounding him so nobody/cameras

could see, leads me to believe it was something other than a positive message of black/white unity

 

? They didn't want a 15 yard penalty that undoubtedly would have come due to use of a prop? I think he was going to do the '68 black power salute except with a half black/white glove that would announce that we'd moved past all that.
