Clearly the dude has some issues, and I'm sure most of the people who have ever been around him would say that. My point was, this obviously wasn't a huge deal in the locker room. To make it a huge deal where you're talking about racial tensions and division and blowing it way out of proportion on the television isn't helping the situation. It only serves to polarize people more because people get emotion and say stupid things. The best way to handle something like this is the same way that most of the people who were witness to it seemed to have handled it, ignore it. Don't give credence to it, don't shine a spotlight on it. It's the same exact theory of not showing people at sporting events running onto the field on the TV broadcast. Let the guy be a douche bag and dig his own grave. When you blow it up, make it about emotion and force people to take a side then you only create more of what you intended to solve. Then there is the whole notion that ESPN as a company doesn't give two shits about anyone involved here, it's simply an issue where they can tug on people's emotion and get them to listen to the debate--therefore creating traffic, and therefore ad revenue. People are WAY too quick to reach to emotion rather than rational, intelligent thought. The way Martin handled the situation was perfect IMO, he ignored it and when it became too much he removed himself from the situation. He let Incognito bury himself, rather than throwing punches or going in front of a camera and calling him out and making himself look like just as much of a bully. Most people don't condone this kind of activity. People who act the way this guy does WILL bury themselves every time if you just let them do it.
I rest my case.
