Share this: Martellus Bennett hasn’t shied away from discussing his discontent with the Chicago Bears, who traded him to the New England Patriots last offseason.

American Pole Vaulter Halts Attempt When Star-Spangled Banners Starts Playing

It was Team USA’s first pole vaulting medal at the Olympics in 12 years. Thumbnail photo via Eric Seals/USA TODAY Sports Images More Stories Source link
