If you are old enough, you may actually remember when Martellus Bennett roamed the campus and played for the Aggies, with a larger than life personality, and who loved interviews…. After his professional playing years ended, he apparently created a black superhero, and now voices him on the Disney Channel….

I had heard of the black superhero, Captain Durag, but had no idea that he had an Aggie connection, which I just read about on Not the Bee. Martellus & Disney's Captain Durag controversy/ backlash. Lots of other articles, too.

Apparently not everyone loves the concept…. Anyone have insight?

I'm just thinking it would seem a good fit for Martellus after football…

So Marty B is more than just the voice of the character - he is actually the creator of the show ("Hey AJ"). It's based on some children's books he wrote with the same name, which I think is pretty cool and totally in his lane.

I've actually watched the show with my kids and it's not that bad - in fact, much better than a lot of the junk you'll see on TV or YouTube these days.

Disney has a new cartoon that features a character named "Captain Durag" (the name of the head wrap often worn by black gangstas).

That's kind of weird if that's what people are jumping too.

They are (or were) also popular with football players wearing them under their helmets, kitchen staff, and bald guys working outside.

Liberals are so woke that they **** all over black people's ideas, speech, & artistic creations


Pretty sure martellus started this project when he retired. Lead character is based on his daughter iirc

Good for him taking this as far as he has

It's a shame the woke hive mind ruins everything

McCarthy and Pinochet were correct.

Good on Martellus.

My only criticism of this is that's it always bothered me that "Durag" is spelled like that and not "Doorag".

Beyond that, love to see creativity and entrepreneurial spirit in anyone but especially fellow Ags.
