A shark among the Dolphins
I could not care less what football players call each other; however, since the Globe saw fit to take up space with an editorial on the subject I will offer my thoughts since it has taken up all the oxygen on the sports channels and bled into the news networks.
What I find offensive is the rush to label the incident a case of racist bullying (the bank-sponsored, false arguing sports talk shows are the worst) when it is now appearing anything but. Then it comes out that Martin is some privileged pussy that didn't even want to play football, the coaches enlisted player leadership to toughen him up, and to a man the locker room (blacks and whites) loves Incognito. Today it has been revealed that Martin and Incognito were friends and he laughed at such stuff. It wasn't until Martin was demoted we started hearing all his junk.
And yet there is the Globe editorializing on the distorted description as if that's the fact. The real problem is the elitist attitude that brings about hazing, something the elitist paper won't touch.
Tell me again it isn't an agenda-pushing media. That's all it is.
Time to punt.
UPDATE: Is Dolphins’ Richie Incognito the scapegoat?
