In the Crossfire: NFL bullying scandal
The Miami Dolphins scandal exposes allegations of bullying, hazing, and racial slurs.
Suspended NFL player Richie Incognito said his alleged bullying of Miami Dolphin teammate Jonathan Martin is misunderstood because "people don't know how Jon and I communicate to one another."
Martin quit the team because of "harassment that went far beyond the traditional locker room hazing," his lawyer says.
Was a line crossed? Does the NFL need an anti-hazing policy?

were talking about men who beat each other up for a living what we going to do turn football into a pansy sport don't call each other names and play nice children. wow
This discussion was absolutely ridiculous. Asking if such "locker room behavior" is affecting our children. How do our kids, or us for that matter, know what goes on in professional team locker rooms? And what business is it of ours? These are grown men playing a game for a living and making a lot of money doing it. They "attend" universities, graduate with virtually no education, only play for a few years before they are permanently injured or replaced by the new crop, and spend the rest of their lives trying to make a living while suffering from debilitating injuries. What they say to each other in a locker room is none of my business. Whether they treat each other with respect is no concern of mine.
Are you kidding me? Bullying happens everywhere, not just the NFL. It happens in Manhattan offices, hospitals, basically anywhere there are people. If someone is making racist remarks about you and threatening you with physical harm, it is definitely a cause for alarm. Whatever happened to protect the weak?
Re:Miami Dolphins
I have to repeat a favorite story:
I am a football fan.
My 10 y/0 daughter came into my TV room and stood watching the game waiting for a break to speak with me. Watching the game, she said to me:"Are those grown-ups."
'Nuff said
When America decided to call it "Professional Football" thats when the public, owners, and coaches should have demanded the players act professionally!
