This racist fuck's NFL career is OVER- and he won't be getting any ESPN gigs either

[cali]

Practical jokes and pranks are part of the culture in NFL locker rooms, but the Dolphins appear to be dealing with something a lot more serious after suspending guard Richie Incognito for conduct detrimental to the team for his alleged treatment of teammate Jonathan Martin.

It was being portrayed as a case of Incognito bullying Martin, a second-year offensive tackle, but it went to a different level Monday when Fox Sports reported that the Dolphins and the NFL Player Association were informed that Incognito sent Martin, who is biracial, text messages and left him voicemails that are threatening and racially charged.

According to CBS Sports, Incognito referred to Martin as a “half n-----,” made references to harming Martin’s family and defecating in Martin’s mouth.

<snip>

Incognito, 30, was born in Englewood, N.J., and went to high school in Arizona. He was drafted by the Rams in 2005, joined the Bills for one season in 2009 and has been with the Dolphins since 2010. When he was with the Rams, he was known as one of the dirtiest players in the league. He was voted this year by teammates to be a member of the Dolphins player council.

On Monday, former Colts coach Tony Dungy said on “The Dan Patrick Show” that Incognito was on the team’s “DNDC” list ahead of the 2005 NFL draft, which means, “do not draft because of character.” During Sunday night’s Colts-Texans game on NBC, former Chiefs GM and Patriots player-personnel VP Scott Pioli said of Incognito, “I didn’t want him coming out (of college), and I don’t want him now.”

1. Racists gonna race ...

And the highly visible ones will inevitably fuck themselves. Good riddance to him.

[Botany]

2. Salary: 3.3 million USD (2012)

Good luck to him to ever being paid anywhere close to that ever again.

Did this yahoo ever look around at the makeup of the NFL?

[Doctor_J]

17. Meh. There are lots of criminals making a lot of money in the NFL too

wife-beaters, sexual predators, (potential) murderers like Aaron Hernandez. I like watching NFL and have gotten past that part of it. The pro sports job market is a true free market.

[Puzzledtraveller]

37. ^^this^^

This story is small potatoes.

[BlueStreak]

26. "Mixed" 1.54% I don't think so.

We are all mixed. I am mixed German, English. Some people are mixed black white. Some are mixed Asian / native American. Who is not "mixed"? The only people that aren't mixed are the ones that only have sex with their siblings and cousins.

[moonlady0623]

46. Inaccurate

Seems to me the largest slice of the pie ought to be MIXED to make it honest.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

3. Perfect example of a person being their own worst enemy. Good riddance, I don't wish him luck. n/t

[bullwinkle428]

4. When this story first surfaced, it was spun to suggest that this was nothing more

than just some practical joking amongst teammates, and Martin just didn't have a sense of humor. I'm glad the incredibly ugly side of this has been exposed.

[Iggo]

21. Blame the victim until you can't. Bullying 101.

[get the red out]

29. +1

That's the way it is usually done.

[riderinthestorm]

27. Yup. DUers saying Martin needed counseling and/or a thicker skin

Classic victim blaming.

[Hayabusa]

28. I think the initial thoughts for many were

that it was traditional rookie hazing gone a bit too far. now the truth is out and Incognito will need to go incognito with all that's said he said...

[Stuart G]

58. I do not recall reading about this kind of bullying in the NFL before.

I will bet this jerk is not the only one. I wonder if more will come out.

[11 Bravo]

5. And yet I can't fucking believe the posts I've read on this very board ...

by ignorant shitheads proclaiming that they "refuse to weep for millionaire NFL assholes". Bullying is bullying. End of story.
Incognito has been a bad guy for a while now, and it's finally caught up to him.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

8. I've never seen such behavior from that poster and my respect for same is now faultering. n/t

[ScreamingMeemie]

15. I really wanna believe the poster's account was hacked.

I was stunned.

[geek tragedy]

24. No, that's par for that person's course.

[dballance]

50. I just checked. That person has been flagged for review now.

That means MIRT and the Admins are looking into them. Despite their number of posts and time here it's likely they'll be PPR'd.

[tenderfoot]

71. Wait there's more!

Check out the performance in this thread: http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=3847701

[Ikonoklast]

63. That poster is a long-time troll that contributes little except divisiveness to any discussion.

Another one who can no longer hide their true selves as the pattern has been long established.


Thought so for as long time now.

[stevenleser]

11. The same folks would claim they support Occupy, yet did not understand Occupy's basic message

Occupy was for the 99%, but they were not against the 1%, they opposed policies that benefitted the 1% at the expense of the 99%

[geek tragedy]

14. We have a few extreme macho misogynistic assholes here at DU. nt

[HappyMe]

65. On ESPN last night they reported that

he was a class A asshole at just about any college and NFL team he was on. They also said something about a DND (do not draft) designation attached to his name.

It seems he has been a bully for a long time.

[11 Bravo]

68. Tony Dungy said Incognito was labeled DNDC -Do Not Draft (Character)

[HappyMe]

69. Yes! That is what they said.

I thought I was missing something there.

[11 Bravo]

6. And while I pray you are correct, remember, there IS a FoxSports network.

[mt_big_blue_sky]

7. Fuck the NFL

I wouldn't watch 'em if they were playing in my back yard....

[City Lights]

19. Same here. nt

[Whisp]

31. mega sports is a breeding ground for shit like this

and worse.

It is the bread and circuses of our time. Instead of seeing the real heroes in your small circle of life people look at these sorts of overpaid animals instead.

[Stuart G]

9. Here is another link on this bully..from a CBS sports person with some knowlege of the situation.

http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/writer/jason-la-canfora/24181321/dolphins-t-jonathan-martin-harassment-was-ongoing-leave-could-be-lengthy



Incognito served as 'ring leader' in Jonathan Martin harassment

from the above article.....:

Last week's flare-up between Martin and his teammates, “was not an isolated incident -- not even close,” one source said. “It's been going on almost since they drafted him.” Other players on the team said it was fairly widely known within the team that the offensive linemen were hard on Martin, a second-round pick in 2012, and Martin has expressed his displeasure with the situation in the past. Last week, several Dolphins players denied there was any history of verbal abuse or bullying of Martin.

Incognito has had to be reprimanded in the past for his actions toward team employees, according to a source with knowledge of the situation. It is not uncommon for him to intentionally walk into people and make others feel uncomfortable, and to make threatening remarks to Martin, sources said. “It's hard to picture a 6-foot-5 350-lb football player as being the victim of bullying, but that's exactly what took place here,” the source said. “He is genuinely scared of what Incognito might do to him, or has threatened to do to him.”

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

10. How is it this clueless S.O.B. is in the NFL?

There are so many black players in the league it makes no sense that this jerk has made it this far.

[tammywammy]

12. The question is, how much did the Dolphins know and when did they know it?

If they sat by and allowed this to happen...hello lawsuit!

I hope Martin bankrupts them.

[ScreamingMeemie]

16. Apparently, Martin went to Joe Philbin about it last spring...

http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/9912677/miami-dolphins-coach-joe-philbin-talks-respect-amid-jonathan-martin-bullying-reports

Philbin "thought" it was dealt with. I am disgusted because I was a huuge Philbin fan when he was the OC for Green Bay.

[tammywammy]

20. Pathetic.

This type of behavior only continues with the implicit consent of leadership.

How does anyone think bullying or hazing promotes a cohesive team? Unacceptable behavior.

[Doctor_J]

48. Shoulda gone to REGIS Philbin instead

then something might have been done.

[Lex]

59. Disgusting how they just look the other way

and later say they "thought" it was dealt with.

[Blue_Tires]

18. +1000

Dolphins management need to be called on the carpet ASAP...No way they didn't know about this...

[BlueStreak]

22. Sounds like a job for Darrel Issa

[tammywammy]

25. LOL! n/t

[Doctor_J]

13. I wonder which way Incognito voted last year.

This is a little weird. I am surprised Martin, possibly with some others on the team, didn't beat the daylights out of him. He sounds like a complete psycho.

[TeamPooka]

23. As the new guy Martin would not have the friends or support system neccesary to do this.

That's why the bulliues target the new guys on a team or at a school or work. They are alone and easy pickings.

[Capt. Obvious]

34. He has a sign in his locker: There Are Only 2 Things I Hate: Taxes And Rookies

[North Carolina Knigh]

61. Of course

He's from Jersey.

[Stuart G]

30. This AP story was publshed at abouat 1pm today..at Talking Points Memo:

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/miami-dolphins-suspend-player-for-misconduct-of-teammate

[gopiscrap]

32. Good, I hope not

[Capt. Obvious]

33. I know his future gig: Representative Incognito

[MrScorpio]

35. Maybe he should change his name to "Dick Camouflage"

What an asshole.

[underpants]

36. Way to Go Godelle - Incognito was the 2013 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year

He got kicked off the teams at Nebraska and Oregon- he never played a down at Oregon

[Snake Plissken]

38. This guy has way too much baggage to be playing for the NFL

not to mention he's a racist piece of shit

[AAO]

39. Richie Incognito - you're career is OVER! DUMBASS - you are too stupid to be an NFL Player.

[ajk2821]

40. Breaking news...

The latest polls show Richie Incognito is the new front runner for the GOP. Senator Rand Paul stated "I am proud to throw my support such a truly great American." Paul added "Richie Incognito is going to be part of my new book 'Profiles in Courage' or maybe I will title it 'Catch 22' or 'Of Mice and Men'…Whatever it is called it is an original work."

[Rex]

41. Incognito? What an interesting last name.

nt.

[Lex]

42. no one else wanted him to have their family name

so I guess he had to choose Incognito

[Rex]

44. From his apparent behavior, I would have to agree.

He sounds like a racist bully.

[Lex]

45. and now he's mad he's caught

no doubt

[Rex]

47. Like the poster said below, he will blame everyone but himself.

nt.

[frylock]

43. an he'll blame everyone but himself

[Capt. Obvious]

49. Report: Dolphins are “done” with Incognito

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/11/04/report-dolphins-are-done-with-incognito/

[Lex]

54. I don't think anyone else would want him

either with this kind of thing being a part of his resume, or whatever football players have

[Doctor_J]

55. pssh. pacman jones

has been arrested more than 10 times. still working. he'll be back

[backscatter712]

67. Good! Good riddance to that subhuman reptile. n/t

[lostincalifornia]

51. It should be over. Unfortunately he will probably get his own talk show

[cali]

56. uh, no he won't. this guy is truly and well done

No one is going to hire him for a talk gig.

[lostincalifornia]

57. I don't know, they give Limbaugh and other asses airtime. Regardless, he has money and

Doesn't need it.

I was being somewhat sarcastic, at least I hope it would not happen

[Uncle Joe]

52. Kicked and recommended, he should never have been drafted in to the NFL.

Thanks for the thread, cali.

[Lex]

53. Next up for him: Faux News correspondent. nt

[North Carolina Knigh]

60. As a dolphin fan

I am glad this POS is gone. I never liked him.

[First Speaker]

62. Hmmm...I think Chris Christie has found his running mate...

[jsr]

66. A true soul mate.

[bullwinkle428]

64. Hey, Richie - time to join John Rocker in the ex-jock wasteland of doom.

[Buns_of_Fire]

70. Now, picture WORKING for this fool...

Incognito and defensive end Ryan Baker, along with tight end Anthony Fasano and offensive lineman Ryan Cook were among the 66 participants in the NFL Business Management and Entrepreneurial Program. It’s a five-day program that took place at the Harvard Business School and the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University.

Since its inception in 2005 more than 700 players have participated in the program and Incognito, who owns a small event planning business that his parents run, learned from some of the top business professors in the country from March 19-23. He came away feeling empowered with more knowledge and with a thirst for more.

“It was a good experience just learning from those guys because they bring a ton of experience to the table,” Incognito said. “It was just a good all-around experience and it really opened up my eyes to a lot of opportunities outside of the game of football and gave me confidence moving forward with my business.”

<snip...>

“Everyone can really take a lot from it but right now my focus is all football and my heart and soul is in football,” Incognito said. “But I am preparing for the day when all of this ends and I need to transition into the business world.”
