I doubt if this would have been a story before the 24/7 sports media, honestly. It's only remarkable because Martin quit the team over it.
Maybe it's just me. I had a lot of trouble caring about the Saints and their bounty "scandal" at all because that probably happens on every team and always has. It was only a story because the NFL overreacted out of liability concerns.
Maybe this is the same thing. The NFL overreacting out of liability concerns, or just concern that there is some bad PR being had.

I don't think it "matters" in a sense of what the end result is, obviously Incognito should be kicked off the team.
I just think it's an interesting hypothetical avenue for discussion; not anything I'd need to spend a great deal of time discussing, but it's also not a hypothetical that I feel like I should be outraged by. If it were related to sexuality it could fit into recent discussons on whether NFL locker rooms are ready for a player to come out.
