Brandon Marshall caught a touchdown pass from Jay Cutler to give his team the lead 33-30 in their game with the Cleveland Browns on November 6, 2008. Instead of celebrating with his teammates, the Broncos did something peculiar. Several of them swarmed around Marshall and tried to restrain him.
Glove Gesture for Barack Obama
Fellow wide receiver Brandon Stokley ran right up to Marshall and prevented him from revealing something that he had pulled from his pants. Marshall later revealed that it was a half black half white glove to honor the election of Barack Obama as President of the United States.
Black and White Glove
Showing the glove would have provoked an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty and set the Broncos back 15 yards on the ensuing kick off. With just 1:14 left in the game and a slim 3 point lead, Marshall's gesture could have cost them the game. They ended up winning. After the game, Brandon Marshall explained his intentions at the post game news conference.
