SG 2 Football Hazing Or Racism


 


Why is it that every time two people in a professional career have a disagreement one pulls the race card? Does everything really come to color of the skin still? For instance, the football players from the dolphins team (Richie Incognito and Jonathan Martin). Here we have to men that treat each other in a manner that seems to be acceptable in football but highly unacceptable by the public. They are acting like cave dwellers who do not have any sense to know better. One is just as guilty as the other is in this case. Many other Dolphin players have come forward in favor of Incognito stating that if anyone was like a brother to Martin, it was Incognito. So what really went on?

             What about the responsibility of them team coaches, managers, and its owners? Martin had to have taken steps in reporting these incidents to someone, yet no hard evidence or concrete proof has surfaced just a lot of "hearsay”. These men have options and a chain of command to follow when reporting abuse or any complaints. Martin is responsibility to write down dates, and times of the incidents, whom he spoke to when reporting to a superior. Now many people’s lives are affected by this kind of behavior. People who get paid millions to play football act like immature teenage boys.
           
             Hazing is out of control everywhere. Since there is no physical, aspects left of hazing only mental then this should not be a problem. Wrong! That can be the worst kind of hazing. The mind is not designed to take constant mental abuse, eventually someone is going to snap. However, let us look at both sides and how the comments that these two men threw back and forth to one another played out. Both had comments of race and both threatened each other’s families with murder yet only Incognito is being exploited here. So if both used racial slurs to make a point why is Incognito the one being labeled a racist? Both men need to be frowned upon for the hateful things they said and the disgusting comments of their families! If I were married to either man they would definitely have an ear full and I would really think about my future with someone that thinks it’s okay to threaten another man’s family for a better game night! I ask again is this really about racism or just two dumbasses that didn’t know when to quit? This does not excuse Incognito from his actions as a bully but it does make Martin look a little silly waiting over a year to take action?
