(Jonathan) Martin walked into twisted world
ESPN ^ | November 8, 2013 | Jason Whitlock

Mass incarceration has turned segments of Black America so upside down that a tatted-up, N-word-tossing white goon is more respected and accepted than a soft-spoken, highly intelligent black Stanford graduate.

According to a story in the Miami Herald, black Dolphins players granted Richie Incognito "honorary" status as a black man while feeling little connection to Jonathan Martin.

“Perhaps. But the environment of a NFL team’s locker room and the majority of denizens who inhabit it can hardly be considered a representative slice of normal society. Really.”

Yeh no kidding. I lived in Miami for many years. One of my best friends was best friends with a Miami player. We used to all go meet him at the locker room after the games and then walk out of the tunnel and go party afterward at their house where a lot of players would attend. It did not take me long to get totally sick of it. There were a few normal guys on the team but most were a bunch of animals. Looks like things haven’t changed just gotten worse.

Anything Whitlock says is going to be wrong...

Martin is a product of the wussification of American men.

Martin will never play another down in the NFL. Its all about how much money he can get out of Miami and the NFL now...

I had opportunity to hang with Bill Romanowski for a time.

Now, there's a real and verifiable animal.

The best thing about the NFL is that it keeps a lot of mean nasty guys off the streets even though a few are managing to reach the streets more often.

What can we expect from a culture that labels conservative Afro-Americans as Uncle Toms ?

I find it disturbing that so many people want a 300 lb. man to engage in hand to hand warfare in order to be able to play football on his team. He is a civilized man, educated at Stanford majoring in Greek literature, on a team filled with savages. He didn’t want to become a savage like them. Good for him. And shame on those who question his manhood for refusing to sink to their level.
