Honestly from some peoples take on here I wonder if you all played sports that had a lockerroom atmosphere. Mainly because I know for a fact things that happened in my HS lockerroom would probably offend some of you. I stand by my stance. As a society we have gotten soft. Richie is a jerk but there are better ways to handle it in a team atmosphere than in the media. Shows me Martin didn't have the type of personality I would want to go to war with during gametime. Lockerrooms for the most part should police themself in my mind. Call me barbaric I don't care again. I won't change your mind you won't change mind. Martin is soft.

Care to address the questions I posed or just going to continue to make fun of him?

 

You didn't ask any new questions. Martin should of stood up for himself or took the hazing. He should of reported it himself through the proper channels if he felt it was needed. But at the end of the day the day its pretty apparent that hazing is an NFL tradition. Maybe just maybe he should of just took it and earned the respect of his peers.

Answer the question. What should he have done to "deal with it"?

Okay, so bullying should just be taken. Gotcha.

But I will continue to make fun. I find it even more funny that this issue is a major story and some of you are taking it so serious. Two large NFL players had a disagreement. Boo hoo.

Hazing has always been apart of sports. Whether you are freshman or a rookie. It's a right of passage. I'm sorry that I have the ability to see the difference between childhood bullying and whats going on here between two large grown adults. If you can't see the difference that is on you not me.

Also for the record yes I think today's society makes to big of a deal about bullying, as if there is some sort of epidemic of it.

Threatening to harm someone's family members isn't "a disagreement".

 

So if you and a co-worker get into a disagreement/argument and they tell you they're going to harm your wife/children, you'd just "take it"?

Tell that to the parents of the 13 year old Missouri girl who took her own life because of the constant bullying....Yep, way too big a deal being made of it.

I confront them.

LOL cherry pick any story you want. There isn't an epidemic of bullying. If anything the way we pamper today's youth we don't allow some of the character buidling some interactions built in years past.

But I'm not playing your game because an NFL lockerroom isn't like my job. So again I don't accept your analogy its bad.

So bullying is allowed in the NFL, but not at Lipton's job?

Please.

 

First off, Martin would whip anyone on here's butt with ease with one arm tied behind his back. If he's soft, what's that make you and I?

 

Secondly, what exactly should he have done? Stand up to Incognito, get his butt kicked, then have the bullying intensify? Go to the coaching staff? Nope, they're the pathetic wastes that put Incognito on to "toughening up" Martin in the first place. So what exactly could he have done differently to end it?

 

 

He broke the codes. He broke the locker room code. He broke the football code and he broke the man code.

Right because violence is the answer. That's what we should be teaching our children. Someone's picking on you, go fight 'em. Unbelievable.
