Whether you're an NFL linemen or an 11 year old kid, bullying and harassment is a real thing, and to say someone is simply soft because they're affected by it is a tad arrogant, to say the least.

 

Whilst there is a possibility of Martin simply not being up to the typical NFL joking and "giving team mates a hardtime", the fact that it's grown to the proportion that it has coupled with the fact that it was never a known issue for him at college indicate that there's a very real possibility that this "bullying" is more than the occasional locker room prank.

 

Whilst?

Whilst?

While/Whilst. They're interchangeable.

Whichever is apropos!  :P

[Coheed]

lol, just call me arrogant

 

Meant to say ignorant. Woops. Welp.

I realize that.  Just observing an anomaly.

 

 

Carry on.

Oh, well in that case fug off.

I realize that.  Just observing an anomaly.

 

 

Carry on.

 

 

I'm currently in the middle of writing a paper, and use whilst instead of while in them because it sounds a bit more formal/academic. Forgot to turn of the mental switch in that post, I guess.

It's not a big deal.  Just struck me as funny.  I use apropos and moot all of the time, just not usually on this particular forum.

 

Again, carry on.

Where in that article does it say he was released?

[R0CKnR0LLA]

He's nothing special but he'd be an upgrade at RT.

 

I don't fault him for walking out, sounds like he had put up with a year and half worth of harassment and general douchebag behavior and finally got tired of it.

 

I'd at least look into him further if/when he gets released.

Richie Incognito suspended indefinitely while the NFL investigates

That whole locker room is a big mess.  Theres having rookies and other guys paying for lunch or dinner, that happens, but to continue to use them as ATM machines and then stick 30k bills to a rookie player making minimum to the point hes broke is overdoing it.  Then the reports of Incognito allegedly saying racial comments and threats isn't helping.

Yeah usually these things are solved with fists but people crazy today. What if he puts a gun in your face? You going to the cops and hurting the team? It's all speculation but I'm giving Jonathan Martin the benefit of the doubt here. At some point quality of life is more important than a 9-7 season(at best). Winning isn't everything when someone is robbing you repeatedly.

There is apparently text and cell phone message evidence that will probably never be released to the public but I bet the NFL heard it and asked the Dolphins to suspend Incognito during the investigation.
