Dolphins bullying/hazing situation?

[DanielsonTHAGOAT]

Anyone been keeping up with this?

Apparently the rookies have to pick up dinner tabs/bar tabs for the veterans on the team. One rookie has even claimed that he has gone broke because he was spending 30,000$ on these guys.

Also Johnthan Martin seeked medical help after being driven by his teammates too.

Goes to show that no matter how old the players are a football lockerroom is about the most immature place on earth.

Un-excusable. How does a coach allow this to happen?

Well who knows if the coach was even aware of it. At least now that it's out he's taking the right steps to put an end to it.

But yeah, absolutely ridiculous scenario. Richie Incognito is a complete scumbag who should be banned from the league. This is just the latest in a long line of assholish moves that the guy has pulled, and he's one of the league's dirtiest players on the field.

Him not being aware of it isn't a valid excuse to me. It's his lockerroom, he's supposed to know what's going on in it. He at a minimum was completely negligent and out of touch when it comes to having the pulse of his lockerroom and making sure the team was working together and that's as big of a failure for him as anything he could do on the sideline or even if he allowed the behavior knowingly. He doesn't have control over that lockerroom and because of that if I were the owner/gm in Miami he wouldn't be my coach for much longer.

Apparently the coaches asked Incognito to toughen Martin up, but RI took that way too far. The rookie initiation stuff is alright I suppose (though I'd hate to be the rookie) but the bullying, bigotry, and threats were just absolutely terrible. Incognito better hope he has other skills because no team in the league is going to want him after this.

i disagree with this article http://mmqb.si.com/2013/11/07/richie-in ... on-murtha/

also incognito is being investigated for molesting a volunteer at a charity event in 2012.

yeah, the dolphins players (beisdes the ones who came out already) are supporting this guy

[Kyle]

How any Dolphins players can support this jerk I have no clue. They support bullying and racism I suppose....

And I hear all this crap about the two being friends and doing stuff together. As someone who has hidden a lot of negative emotions in the past, it's entirely plausible that Martin held everything in and acted normally because he didn't want the situation to be exposed. And now it has.

When they showed Ryan Tannehill he looked like a complete skinhead.

I don't know what to believe anymore.
