Martin gets zero amount of blame for being the victim.  Suggesting otherwise is akin to blaming a rape victim.   Incognito indeed belongs in irons.   Actually Neanderthals like him belong in gas chambers.   Improve the breed and such.

I blame Martin for being bitchmade

If you allow yourself to be bullied after you graduate college high school, you deserve it.

You understand the difference between bullying and death threats, right?

I think we all agree that Incognito is at blame for his actions. There are no excuses for what he said. My view was more from a macro-point of view where it's a culture and he was acting within.

The same can be said about racists and bigots who have grown up in households, communities, and regions where their behavior was socially acceptable but it is still wrong.

Maybe this does blow the top off of the culture that is the NFL and it will have a domino effect throughout the pros and in college, where I feel it is more prevalent than the pros.

ice grillin you

context people....im pretty sure everyone knows (including martin) that incognito didnt literally mean he was going to kill martin when he left that message...and i suspect it was even him trying to be funny....if by small chance martin did really believe that it was a legitimate death threat then he deserves what he got because that happened in march and he remained a dolphin without telling anyone about the call until november
i can take a phrase thats rarely heard...flip it....now its a daily word

There seems to be a lot of dolphins players supporting incognito...and many against Martin.

Reading some of the news since I got home and I'm a bit shocked how much support he's getting.

Even some media are saying there's more to the story.

ice grillin you

they definitely all ganged up on him....shtein today one dolphin said how incognito was an honorary black man and that black guys on the team considered him more of a brother than martin

it was like the lions looking for the weakest link in a caravan of wildebeast....i feel bad for the guy and that team is made up of a lot of shtein pieces but at some point you gotta stand up for yourself and either push back a little or go farging talk to your coaches gm agent union ect....someone

Big dumb pampered meat heads sticking together? I'm shocked.

I understand everyone is wired differently but that is what I don't get - the lack of standing up for himself. And I am not talking about beating the shtein out of the guys either - just a straight up confrontation. I am a firm believer in "confrontation breeds clarity".

So if you have people taking advantage of you and you allow it to happen then you bear some of the fault. If someone told me to pay $15k to fund a trip I wasn't going on I would have told them to farg themselves. What are they gonna do?

I get the goofball shtein like funny haircuts, funky costumes and even the rookies paying for a dinner.

Hell Tannehill said Martin and Incognito were best friends and that Martin was passing Incognito's VM around laughing about it when it happened.
