The Facts: The Cowboys have fined Bennett for his profanity-laced YouTube video, the Fort Worth Telegram reported Thursday. Citing two sources, the newspaper said Bennett was docked $22,000 under a contract clause for conduct detrimental to the team. The amount is equal to one game check. The team could not confirm the report.
Diehards Line:In the video, released earlier this week, Bennett engaged in a freestyle rap using profanity and invoking the names of owner Jerry Jones, tight end Jason Witten and quarterback Tony Romo. He also used derogatory terms to describe blacks and gays. Bennett has since issued an apology on his YouTube channel, but blamed the media for blowing the original video out of proportion.
