Former Raiders panther Marquette King "fought" NFL discrimination

Former Raiders punter Marquette King said he "finished the fight" as one of the few black kickers in the NFL. 

King, who played for the Raiders in 2013-17, rang in the NFL in a series of tweets on Wednesday and Thursday. 

"I haven't officially retired," Kingtweeted on Wednesday. "I'm not fighting to join a league that ignores resumes I've created, which is better than half of the NFL's punters." 

In another tweet on Wednesday, King listed his achievements in two photos depicting him pouring a drink. 

I've finished the fight ...
