Brandon Marshall: Many NFL players feel race played role in Deflategate

According to Jets wide receiver Brandon Marshall there are many NFL players who feel race played a role in the punishment of Tom Brady and the lifting of his suspension in the Deflategate controversy.

Marshall, appearing on Showtime’s “Inside the NFL” described how players view the Brady saga.

“I think that there are three different types of players viewing this thing,” Marshall said on the show. “Number one is the fighter. I think there are guys that are in the fight with Tom [Brady]. When one player’s rights are upheld, all players’ rights are upheld. It’s not about what he did if he’s right or wrong, it’s more about the process.
