I could stomach it for a minute but thought passing the last two drafts when it was deep with even guys like Limmer in later rounds was a pretty big whiff. Never hurts to draft the big uglies, pressing need or not, the guys in the trenches are where to keep the ship afloat. -
Not sure they made the whole thing up or that Incognito would have a chance in hell suing Martin--when Incognito leaves evidence like this: ""Hey, wassup, you half-niggxr piece of sh*t. I saw you on Twitter, you been training 10 weeks. I'll sh*t in your fukking mouth. I'm going to slap your fukking mouth, I'm going to slap your real mother across the face [laughter]. Fukk you, you're still a rookie. I'll kill you." I get the locker room hazing--it is rough at times. In college, I had to sing in front of the entire team, get Seniors milk in the cafeteria or training table, carry helmets to practice--but it was all 37 freshman, not just me. Eventually, I retaliated (toward the end of the season). I wrote and sang song about the Seniors that mocked them--I put salt in their milks, etc. But by then, we had bonded. There was a 6-8, 328 lb player who used to grab me after practice and squeeze me (hard to breath after practice). After our final practice, he threw me into the cold lake beside the practice field. It was never malicious in my mind. I encouraged it. HOWEVER, If I heard an upperclassman address one of my freshmen teammates like this, I would have taken some action on his behalf. It crosses several lines. I mean, at no time in any situation is it OK to call someone a racial slur, threaten him with physical abuse/assault, threaten his mother with physical violence, and then communicate a death threat. Humor? Sarcasm? No--this was part of a pattern. If I were Martin, I would not want to stay there after this alone, but if I already wanted an out, Cognito provided it. My point is not to state who did what and what was made up or not--this alone is criminal. You seem to imply that Incognito was falsely accused. Hard to defend that argument when they have evidence like this. This alone will prevent Incognito from suing anyone. Do you think a jury or judge would hear this and consider Incognito a victim? Nope. I get the impression that Martin did not love football and wanted out, and his heart was not in it. This became his golden ticket. Did Incognito increase his motivation for wanting out? Yes. there is an 11-year old Hispanic girl who was recently bullied at school. They called her immigrant and told her that she would be deported because her family is full of rapists and murderers. She committed suicide--at 11. Do you think the politicians will accept any responsibility? This is what THEY were saying. Do you think the teachers who may have witnessed this and dismissed it as trivial or "kids being kids". Will the bullies take responsibility? When you bully, what happens next is on you, and if it backfires, you can't sue. -
