Richie Incognito

[Tony D'Amato]

I'm surprised Martin didn't just come guns blazing and shoot Incognito up given his fragile mental state. :kobeshrug:



And I'm tired of you "bu bu bu but if it was me" dudes in here. Where the fukk would the world be if everyone stood up for themselves? It's possible that Martin could hold his own on an NFL field but not respond well to confrontations outside of it.

I think he's more diabolical than fragile. Like Ricky said, he fought back. Just in his own way. Kinda genius when u think about it. Especially if he sues.

Football locker rooms always remind me of the detectives office on The Wire..Or the union hall for some blue collar teamsters job..The type of sh1t that goes down in between racial lines under "brotherhood" is foreign to outsiders...The racism, sexism and homophobia is so blatant its almost like it doesnt exist..

My father n law is a fireman and the same mentality exists.. Outside of work he's the pro black brother that does Kwanza and wont let anybody celebrate Christmas.. But when he's with his peoples from the firehouse they morph into some frathouse sh1t where everything goes and they only thing that matters is seniority...

When you gotta go into a burning building with a redneck whiteboy watching your back, I guess you dont really care if he's "racist"...Because you depend on him for your livelyhood... Football locker rooms seem similar....

I can understand why so many players are pissed at Martin and backing Incognito.

Dog....what separates a football locker room is [Tony]BALLS[/Montana]. Not race. I CANT be that dude that allows a white dude to get away with saying niqqa. But other dudes who are cool with cats they have a kinship with can I just wish they understood how their actions can distract people from what the real issues are when they do appear. In this case....martin was viewed universally as soft, from his head coach on down.

Yeah definitely agree with bold because if incognito was black the racial part wouldn't be there. Instead its making more people act emotionally just off the race than I believe would have been if it was just a black player bullying another black player. It also could be how now "bullying" with "gayness" are the new programmable buzz words to get the troops riled up.

White folk can use the N-word in a non-derogatory manner
Racial slurs are OK as long as the offender isn't racist.

I dont let words own me if the dudes saying it joking around i dont care context means something to me

 

[RC-P90]

sounds like the dolphins wanted martin to be as crazy as incognito but martin bounced bfore he let that happen...

 

[Super Cheech]

Incognito is a model citizen brehs...just horsing around

Yall fake militants refuse to stay on topic with this subject.

Incognito is already paying a price for his role in this and though his use of the n word may be deplorable, its not the issue here.

Martin separated himself and in football that probably the worse thing you can do in the locker room. He probably felt they singled him out,when in reality and in that culture, he really shut them out.

Just some regular old towel whipping and such

 

[J-Fire]

That's not uncommon....he wanted him to get a 15yarder or get ejected for being sensitive. Chris carter said he was called ****** on the field before....prolly a white saftey trying to get in his head.

You only say that shyt because you haven't been physically oppressed like your ancestors.

 

[Big Boss]

Damn all these nfl players calling martin soft

 

[dora_da_destroyer]

I can't cosign this. Nikker is not accpetable...and even if it may be to you, if folk hear you say it, they may be offended and you might get in trouble for it. Look at Incognito. Folk know the word is offensive but use it freely...well, suffer the consequences tough luck nikka.

we basically see things the same, if I was with that group and he was saying nikka, I'd tell him to chill, but if I'm sitting in the booth next to him, I'm going to feel some type of way, but moreso about the black dudes who c/s it. I don't feel like dude used it in a racist way, but I agree, since it got out, he's open to criticism for using it

 

[the next guy]

someone just say he was soft because he came from a 2 parent home in a well mannered neighborhood. and where exactly is Incognito from?

A trailer park

 

[dora_da_destroyer]

And let's be real, all these people up in arms about him being given that pass are still listening to DJ khaled, fat joe, etc who use nikka freely. When we opened that up to basic urban culture, we opened shyt like this up. Dude is being crucified cuz the shyt is on a national platform, but many groups of friends have jokes/behaviors that happened between them that would be just as questionable if put before a mass audience.

The line I don't let ppl cross is non blacks using nikka around me or being called bytch by friends...but I can easily see how these lines aren't there for others, I don't c/s it, but it is what it is
