Jets wideout Brandon Marshall stood by his race-related comments regarding the nullification of Patriots quarterback Tom Brady’s four-game suspension, but he also offered one clarification Thursday afternoon.
Marshall maintained that he was not referring to U.S. District Court Judge Richard Berman when he suggested that the NFL gives preferential treatment to white players when meting out discipline. Marshall initially offered his thoughts on Showtime’s “Inside the NFL” and insisted that he was comfortable delving into topics that other current players might steer away from to avoid controversy.
“It had nothing to do with the judge,” Marshall said.
