Yep. If the "right" race angle wasn't present (white on black) this would not be much of a story. It wouldn't be much of a story if the angle was black on white either.

Everyone has their breaking point. Martin's may be significantly lower than that of the average NFL player. Is he a pussy for it? Yeah, he probably is in the minds of many.

But the reality is, these guys doing the hazing have to recognize where "all in good fun" goes beyond fun. So Martin is a pussy that can't take a joke? Then back the **** off and leave him alone.

True. I also feel Martin KNOWS that he can make a hell of a lot more $$$ when he sues the NFL / Dolphins over this, then he could playing football. He is a very smart individual. He's in over his head in every way in the NFL and he knows this. In a court of law, he's not.

We don't even know that legal action is being considered by Martin.

Martin didn't have to participate. Sounds like he chose to.

Incognito is a toxic person and should be released. That doesn't explain why Martin had to be a pansy about it or why this is a story.

You are clueless if you think Martin ever had a choice. As if there would be no backlash for choosing not to participate.

Just read that.


Apparently Martin wasn't fully accepted because his parents are lawyers and he went to Stanford.

That's what I am saying.

Incognito is just one of those people you fire because he's toxic. That doesn't make this a story.

Honestly, if the N-word hadn't appeared in those voicemails, this would have been a minor story, if a story at all.

Incognito is the prototype "big guy" asshole.

Perfect storm.

This was a story before the n word was ever used or before anyone knew it was incognito. The idea that this story was built on race is silly.

I don't really care about martin. I enjoy this story because it is fun reading about incognito. One of those stories where each revelation is more train wreckier than the last.

Not clueless at all. He most certainly did have a choice. There are consequences for most choices in life. Backlash or not, he had a choice. He made one didn't he? Any backlashes because of it?? Yep. You're the one whose clueless if you think he didn't.
