Martellus Bennett: 'Black Olympics' not offensive

There's white comedians that do stuff like that all the time," he said. "I think it's funny to attack stereotypes. It's funny how people just put people in a certain light and say that's what all the people do of a certain race or particular person, so it's fun to attack those stereotypes.

The Cowboys told USA TODAY on Monday they would not have a comment on Bennett's video. The second-year tight end, who drew a $22,000 fine earlier this year from the team after insulting blacks and gays in a YouTube video, said he doesn't expect his bosses to weigh in.

"Not really," he said. "The first time I got in trouble because I was cursing and I had the Cowboys helmet on. Now it's just me doing me. It's no different if I was being a stand-up comedian at a show.
