On one hand, he said definite racist things towards Martin and at the very least is an asshole willing to use racist comments to be an asshole.
On the other, the impression I get from everything I've read, both here and in news stories, is that he was a reasonably liked guy in a sport dominated by black dudes who was mainly considered a liability due to being a hothead on the field. And with how a lot of the stuff, including the "half N" thing seemed to be in texts or (somewhat) private conversations with Martin, he probably wasn't an overt racist or a guy who said anything bad like that in the locker room or in group settings.
I'd think if the dude himself was an actual racist, you'd have heard a lot more about that sort of thing in his past because that shit don't fly in today's world. So, I'm kinda more in the line of him being an asshole who's willing to take verbal cheap shots (including racist comments) in order to be a dick to guys he considers easy to victimize. Kind of along the lines of "I know these words will hurt you, so I'm using them!" sort of thing more than a "Fuckin' half n's..." racist sort of thing.[/QUOTE
I agree and further ill take this over saying it behind my back and in the way rcooper said it any day..in a locker room I could see how it could go both ways just as if I called a white teammates cracker ass cracker..i know white dudes who would say it as a sign of truly treating someone as an equal to a point where there is no limit when it comes to insults etc..to me a racist wouldn't say it to your face. Also for me the difference in racist or not racist is if u think you are better than me because of your race, you look down on a race and think you are inherently better than them..not just using the n word
Personal thing or more of a mercenary mentality? They don't like the guy, but he gets it done on Sunday.like_that;1530025 wrote:Seems like most of the dolphins' roster is on incognitos side.
Might be one of those "how it was handled" things. This is the NFL, where you're talking about a group of alpha male personalities working together. You always hear about the mindset of how no weakness is allowed (a big thing that came up with all the current concussion awareness due to how players would play with them because, due to a lack/ignorance of knowledge about the future side effects of getting one's bell rung repeatedly, guys wouldn't complain because they'd be viewed as weak), so it's easy to see players siding against a teammate if they perceive him as a ***** who tattled about bullying and ran away from the team. Like in the "see, dude's too soft to be an OL in the NFL" sort of thought.queencitybuckeye;1530043 wrote:Personal thing or more of a mercenary mentality?

Incognito looks like he's borderline "special" and Martin looks like a 10 year old.
My conspiracy theory here is that Martin is gay, and the NFL and MIA is about to have a hell of a lot of legal problems....Manhattan Buckeye;1530231 wrote:there is something about Martin.
