Not that I really care about it.
Harassment, not bullying. Incognito went above and beyond your typical bullying. I thought that would be understood by now.

Semantics?

""STFU MB. You're not funny. No one enjoys your posts. No one laughs at your posts. Everyone hates you. Just throw yourself in front of the next train that comes by in Bangkok or wherever the fuck you are that no one cares you are at and piss off." You deal with it.

In the workplace I certainly have had to deal with "bullying" behavior. I'm not saying it is right, but it happens and there are a channel of controls to go through.

I didn't say that. Incognito is a a psycho idiot with a history of being a jackass. But in the same breath, Martin is kind of a *****. You don't like the bullying? Beat the fuck out of him.

Martin had better win a big lawsuit because when this is all said & done both he and Incognito are going to have a tough time finding work, imo.

You act like that quote is the same as someone directing racial slurs and threats at someone. It's not.

If he truly believed the threats in the voicemail, it would have made absolutely no sense for Martin to beat the fuck out of him. It would have given Incognito even more reason to go after his family.

this part of the story is kinda coming true with the backlash that martin is getting..

They become afraid that speaking out will make it worse, or that nobody will believe them, or that they’ll lose their job/status/reputation/friends/whatever by making waves. They’re made to believe there will be consequences and further horribleness if they say or do anything to stop it.

I agree it is different...but in either case is there really a threat? As big of a jerk that Incognito is - was Martin really threatened? I'm not particularly threatened by Sports and Lady's post...even though it was far worse than what Incognito said.

Incognito was being the "bully" because he knew that Martin would back down. If Martin shows Incognito who the "alpha" is, I don't see Incognito going after Martin's family for fear that he (Incognito) would get something worse.

"Beat the **** out of him." I expected someone from Steubenville to think that would have been the solution.

How does Martin know that? All he knows is that he has been abused, harrassed and extorted by Incognito.

Obviously Martin thought there was a threat. He said he would kill him and also mentioned his family. It doesn't matter whether you think it's threatening or not. The person receiving the messages clearly did.

LOL
If you think Martin should’ve “kicked his ass” or “stood up and been a man”, I’d honestly recommend you stop watching football for awhile, because it’s chipping away at your humanity.

So if someone is threatening you, you're going to just let them have their way with you? You DEFEND yourself.

It's called self preservation. Violence is always a last resort.

Do you work with or see any of the people on here on a daily basis? It's completely different. I don't defend the people on here who troll and bully everyone, but it is not the same as a real life situation.

No one should be advocating violence...but the more I read Martin didn't even go to his coaches.

There are reports that it was the coaches who asked Incognito to "toughen him up." If true, why would he ever feel comfortable going to them?

A very fair point. And Martin can explain his actions.

Yeah if you're a meathead. Or roided out. Or a tough guy.

Not everyone is though. And "beating the fuck out of him" is a horrible way to go about it.

I couldn't disagree more with mike golic this morning on mike and mike when he was going back and forth with Dan lebatard. Lebatard was absolutely correct and golic was just trying to justify the "standing up for yourself" argument because he used to be an nfl player.

Not only this, but Incognito was on the team leadership council and/or a team captain and an established veteran in the NFL whereas Martin is barely a second year player.

By "beat the fuck out of him" I wasn't implying that Martin be the aggressor. You initially try to talk it out with him and, assuming that doesn't work (not likely in Incognito's case) you "call" him on it and do what you've got to do. You defend yourself, family, etc. I'm not advocationg that Martin sneak attack him or something like that but for godsakes, stand up for yourself.

So don't beat the fuck out of him in a sneak attack. Bring it up to him and then when he doesn't back down, then beat the fuck out of him.
