Funny how liberal lexicon creeps into the most unlikeliest of places. Rumor has it the "bullied" player is a weird acting and his teammates didn't care for that much. Shocking after all the dogma spewed by the MSM some things don't change.
Bullies come in all shapes and sizes..they are rich and poor...male and female. Just because someone is of big stature doesn't mean they can't suffer from bullying by others. I don't understand what this has to do with liberalism though.
He is a second year player, he doesn't make much, probably under half a mil. Big money only goes to players who have been in the league more than three years..
You must be thinking of a different sports league.
Johnathan Martin was a second Round pick in the NFL draft,his contract is worth more than 4 million a year.
good, the guy is a turnstyle and was getting my QB killed. The Dolphin O line seemed to paly a little better last thursday with both Martin and incognito gone

And Martin clearly said something to his superiors. He told them he wouldn't be returning to work until the situation was resolved.
Not quite. It's 4.8 million over 4 years (1.2 per year on average).
mixed up contracts, i was reading Incongnito's. The point is, Martin was making decent money. (this discussion was off subject), not 500,000 as claimed.

Actually, his salary this year is $607,466. (roughly 2 million of his contract was a signing bonus he got last year when drafted).
if any of us do what icognito did, we'd be fired. how the op says this is acceptable is beyond me.
incognito will never play for the dolphins again. guy is a headcase with a long rap sheet.
Incognito will be a "hot potato" for any team for awhile. He will probably agree to some therapy/anger management counseling/public service and be eligible to join a team in a few years...very similar to what happened in Michael Vick's case.
Frankly, Incognito does not even deserve that. Some of the quotes and events being reported are simply reprehensible. They are not part of some "liberal" plot or agenda. I am just saying what I think will happen; not what I believe should happen. Jonathan Martin will probably be playing for a team next year.
You guys are going by the legal system and that's all good and well. The NFL is ruled by a different code, a manly one, that doesn't exist in the wider culture anymore.
They are ruled by a manly code? There have been complaints about concussions recently and now that they are taking lower hits, they are whining about that, too. That situation is different, because the players on the opposing team do that. I do not have the answer on that, but the referees decide during the game.
However, I think a player has the right to report a death threat and outright hostility and especially when they are on the same team. It is not being soft. It is trying to right a wrong. It is reporting someone that behaves like a 10 year old child and I apologize to any well behaved 10 year old that I insulted! There is no place for someone as sick, hostile, and anti-social as Incognito on a team. You have a low standard and it is a bad example for youth that aspire to play pro sports.
When will people learn that the taming of aggression is to appease the comfort of the state and not to promote civility?
