my analysis is that our perspective, no matter how "qualified", doesn't matter. You and I thinking a comment should be construed as racist, doesn't necessarily mean that Martin MUST think so, as well. He's entitled to his own opinions and can draw the line on interactions wherever he sees fit. No one should be able to tell anyone else what they're required to be offended by. People draw the line at all different places. For football players, in that environment, usually there's more room for leeway when it comes to offensive remarks. So people saying "how could the Dolphins players let this happen, they're c00ns" are off base, IMO. Because, as I said earlier, you can't just use real-life logic and society's standard moral compass and try to apply it to an NFL locker room. It's a completely foreign place with its own rules, regulations, and standards of behavior.
And at this point, we're all making assumptions because there's not much to go by. Very little evidence has been presented in regards to anything. It's a message board, if shyt was black and white and open and shut, there wouldn't be much to discuss.
