Once again football is not a good person contest. How many players on the Chiefs have done stupid shit in the past? Incognito clearly was an asset to the team at one time. You can downplay his getting voted to leadership council all you want but it does say something.

It isn't a false claim just because martin has moved on and doesn't want to revisit it. The belligerent voicemails are real. The log books the OL left bragging about breaking others is real. And its plenty reasonable to guess that it was a pattern given his track record of anger management counseling, complete lack of self control on the field, multiple incidents on and off the field going way too far confronting others... Including teammates. And martins later depression and substance abuse that he sought counselling seem to show that he did suffer emotional damage. Martin may have been too weak for the sport but there are a million warning signs that incognito was too mean for the sport. Martin didn't have the talent but incognito did and yet teams didn't keep him around.
If you walk out of Mean Girls thinking they were the heroes because they were popular you walked out with the wrong message. Ive seen hazing in my fraternity and teams. It takes a lunatic to not draw the line somewhere and to get a hard on when you successfully break someone. And that's the recurring theme you hear over and over about him. He's your best supporter if you're on his good side but if you weren't he was your worst nightmare. Even if it's your teammate, your trainer, your head coach. What kind of team elevates a guy with his long long track record of violating team rules and uncontrolled anger issues and elevates him to that position? The way he acted with that responsibility shows that it was more a dumb team making a dumb decision versus a validation of him as a teammate.
If you're good to most of your teammates but extremely abusive to a few you personally decided not to like, that makes you a shitty teammate. Berating others doesn't always make you a good coach or teammate.
