Getting your player ready...
DENVER—Cocoa Tea’s reggae song “Barack Obama” blared in the Denver Broncos’ locker room Wednesday as they packed up for a trip to Cleveland to play the Browns.
Wide receiver Brandon Marshall, who wore “Obama” shirts for all his interviews this season, was beaming.
“As soon as we found out that he won, my mom called me and she said, ‘When you have your first child, just look them in the eyes and tell them, you know, you can be anything you want to be,'” said Marshall, who is black.
Some players hoped politics and government would become as colorblind as sports.
“I just hope he comes in and does a good job,” wide receiver Brandon Stokley said. “It doesn’t matter who it is or what color he is.”
