Jonathan Martin, Richie Incognito Scandal returns to the front burner, years later

It started with Wednesday #longead with ESPN.com It focused on the current where the former NFL was borio Jonathan Martin. Landing three days after the Super Bowl and more than ten years after long-forgot events that once took the league of storm, barely made a slight.

The first Sunday from the conclusion of the season 2024, is finally registered.

It’s not clear how it happened. Assembly in the center of the story – Richie Incognito – sent a direct message to the PFT Twitter account at 14:45 ET. Sunday afternoon with link to the column of Omar Kelly of the Miami Herald With this title: “Jonathan Martin admitted he lied to bully. “

Then, at 22:17, Sunday, incognito sent another direct message to DM: “Care to comment? 🤣”

It is unclear what happened on Sunday to bring the story ESPN.com to the surface. At 16:09 ET, Adam Schefter from ESPN has published from the blue shots of the screen of the ESPCC member in which Martin was quoted as: “I never believed a second that I was harassing. . . . It’s a story I’m trying to fix 10 years. “

Schefter called him a “notable shop window.” Incognito, not recognizing that Schefter Tweet has actually done a favor, he replied with this, “Significant shot?! You tried to ruin my life over this shit. “

Tweet Incognito at 17:18 ET in connection with Martin: “On I can’t cut it in the NFL, so he stopped And his mom blamed me. Legacy media pushed this narration long and far. Too bad it was all a lie! They lied to protect their money. He stopped … The team had the right to cover that money. His mom started harassing a narrative with (ESPN). “

Justices for incognito, recent comments Martin support that conclusion.

“I had a situation with my teammates I wasn’t great about,” said Martin Anthony olvieries Espn.com in a long-lasting article that went mostly unnoticed by days. “But my mother had his own reading in a situation.”

“I didn’t believe that none of the attitudes I took, was I, where I was the victim,” Martin added. “I wasn’t a victim, did I? And again, it was a point of interest.”

Martin’s father, Gus, admitted to Ilvii that he and Martin’s mother “strongly intervened” to “make sure he was protected.”

“My mother may be in my mind – I can’t read her mind – she thought he was working properly,” Jonathan Martin said.

The article includes a text of a voice message that was anonymously to Jonathan Martin 6. April 2013, less than a year after the dolphins were selected in the second round of drafts: “Hey, Wassup, you half n — – a piece with — . I saw you on Twitter, you trained for 10 weeks. I will — in your mouth. I’ll bang for your mouth, I’ll hit your real mother over your face. F — You, you’re still Rookie. I’ll kill you. “

It said, there is a shade for what seems to be lost in many. Jonathan Martina is one thing to say that he never believed to be harassed. This is another thing to ignore different findings from an extensive investigation that occurred then. (Here is a summary Reports from TED Wells, as announced by NFL.com.)

Wells found out that the anonymous and the second repeatedly mistreated Martin. That harassment contributed to the previously existing issues of Jonathan Martin mental health. That harassment was in accordance with the bully in the workplace. That, to the extent that the extent was a reflection of the overcoming cultures among the offensive dolphin excavator (and potentially if they are unlikely in other NFL cabinets), they do not apologize.

And the behavior was overcoming Jonathan Martin. From the summary: “We found that the (dolphins’) was auxiliary coach, who was born in Japan, was the target more frequent and persistent disturbance, including insults regarding his race and national origin.”

To the extent that he wins the wings in the wings of victory now, remember that it is not the only time his behavior Caught him in trouble.

So, yes, it is far more complex than an isolated comment from a man trying to put an incident into his past. In many aspects, the last bastion of rough conversation remains, whether it is a billion-political shop explaining a certain note of women in a certain place or whether they are athletes that things are in a hot microphone.

And there is a reason to think that Jonathan Martin still has difficulty feelings, regardless of whether she’s willing to admit that he is a 315-foot football player, in his back, instead of shooting several skulls. Asked by Sieri whether he would consider talking to anonymous and other teammates who have discovered that they were acting irregularly, Jonathan Martin provided a reply to one word: “No.”

If everything was okay, there is no reason not to talk to them. Unless, of course, one or more of them continues to insist, good for a decade later, that many things have told and did fine and Dandy.

Ultimately, anonymous and others who have publicly performed wells of the wells fell by the victim the same opinions that encouraged punishment invented a year earlier, in a scandal with harassing saints. Instead of acknowledging that a significant cultural problem in the cabinet should be largely resolved, the NFL grabbed a piece of low-hanging fruit, dragged him and hoped the outcome would frighten everyone else straight.

And let’s not forget the very real possibility for the promotion of a well about the maltrend scandal, the conclusion had an improved conclusion. Wells’s Skandal Report #Deflategory A little over a year later supports a reasonable conclusion that the investigation began with the preferred league outcome and worked back.

So, basically, the Incognito-Martin case warned the NFL into a problem that has been entrusted under nose for years, if not decades, with dolphins and potentially if not somewhere Sunday. Instead of recognizing that fact (if the fact) and the intersection of harder and sensitive effort to change the culture of the league on the Ligoslov, Wells provided NFL with a hammer needed to create an impression that this is a deviation.

Even if there was something other than. Incognito’s point is that how it works in the lockers. That’s how players interacted each other. In the insulation looks and sounds bad.

It is bad enough that the league rounds the wagons and clutch his pearl, and not admitting it is that way and that the League allowed it until the shit happened until the shit happened to the shock in Miami.
