That memory piqued his interest in the Jonathan Martin-Richie Incognito situation, particularly since he was playing in St. Louis when the Rams drafted Incognito.
“I’m not afraid to say that he was an immature, unrealistic scumbag,” Cleeland said. “When it came down to it, he had no personality, he was a locker-room cancer, and he just wanted to fight everybody all the time. It was bizarre beyond belief.”
That’s why he, like many, can’t believe the questioning of Martin’s motives.
“Any NFL player that gives Martin a hard time — I don’t know him — but any guy who says, ‘This guy should have been a tough guy, should have stood up to him,’ it’s BS,” Cleeland said. “I don’t care if you’re a good guy or not, you don’t deserve that kind of treatment in any workplace. You’ve got to be tough. We’re all tough guys. But in the end, you’re still a human being.”

that would make one helluva splat on the sidewalk.
According to the report filed in Aventura, Fla., Incognito harassed a 34-year-old female volunteer at the team's annual "Fins Weekend Golf Tournament." The tournament was held on May 18, 2012, at the Turnberry Resort and Club in Aventura.
The woman was working as a hole monitor at the event and, according to the police report, while she was performing her duties, Incognito approached her and rubbed his golf club against her private area. According to the accuser, Incognito had been drinking and was acting inappropriately.
Eventually, Incognito rubbed against her butt with his privates and began saying, "Let it rain. Let it rain." After that, Incognito emptied a bottled water on her face.
But his teammates say he's a great guy and an honorary black, so that means he can do whatever he wants!LJ;1531896 wrote:In case anyone is in the dark

when you spend that amount of time with people i have seen it and experienced these types of relationships where whether you wanna say "honorary black " or whatever but i have had teammates that werent black that used the word around other teammates and it wasnt an issue because you truly become like familyiclfan2;1531594 wrote:Apparently they are...

Nigga is a mainstream word now. Shouldn't matter to a black guy if a white guy, asian guy, or a grandma says it anymore.

I actually understand this growing up with many black friends. I never used the 'N' word mostly because I think its disrespectful but I probably could have given my status as a 'brother'.-“Richie is honorary,” a former Dolphins player who knew both said. “I don’t expect you to understand because you’re not black.

I do however find it hilarious that black people get all up and arms about the N word but then go ahead and use it as a term of endearment if the person saying it happens to be black(again, a judgement based on skin color, ironic eh?)

Actually its mostly about skin color although intent does matter I suppose. No black guy is going to get up in arms if some other black guy uses the word regardless of intent, however a white guy has to tip toe with the word. The optimal strategy for a white guy is to never use the word because he does not know how the intent will be perceived.Gblock;1531961 wrote:its all about "intent"
