Jonathan Martin got bullied!

Miami Dolphins coach Joe Philbin talks respect amid Jonathan Martin bullying reports - ESPN

"Multiple sources told ESPN.com this week that teammates teased Martin in the lunch room Monday, which caused Martin to become angry and leave the team. Fox Sports reported Thursday that Martin has been the subject of persistent bullying within the locker room and is now receiving professional assistance for emotional issues."

Not sure if middle school student... or NFL player.

Does seem like a strange story. I also saw a report that the NFLPA plans to investigate the allegations of bullying.

He might have mental health issues.

Well, he is receiving support for emotional issues now.

 

[Jikkle]

Doesn't sound like he has the mental makeup for the NFL.

You have to have thick skin and have a steel mind to survive in the locker room.

 

[NinerSickness]

At least he hasn't gone all Barrett Robbins on us.

...yet.

Bring it Sickness, you must have what it takes huh?

Depends on his back ground. He could have a very thick skin. But if was one of those kids that was always bullied, then it might have gotten to him after a while, and then it continues happening now. There's only so much one person can take before they snap.

Is anybody surprised that the focus is going to Richie Incognito?

They shouldn't be, but this story gets weirder ever hour or so.

Everyone will crack eventually. We all know guys that are just assholes and will push and push and push until they get someone until the get a reaction. This is part of being in a locker room, barracks, school, etc. It doesn't mean that they're a bad guy and it doesn't mean that the guy being messed with is a pussy. People respond in different ways, some grab a gun and kill some MFers, some go home and beat their wives, and some throw their lunch tray, tell everyone to fuck themselves and walk out.

Most of us have seen deals like this many times. But there are almost always cooler heads that help squash it or at least make it a workable environment. If I was a Dolphin fan I would be dissapointed that it would reach a point like this. The kid obviously needs some help, and there should have been some leadership to help before this.

Sadly, despite all the issues with bullying, it still isn't an issue that people take seriously for some reason. People just look the other way and expect the person to stand up for themselves.

Sounds like he's gay and getting harassed for it. I have a hard time believing that a guy would up and leave a job like that unless these guys found a pretty big button to press.

Amazing how many people don't understand this. One can only take so much before they lose it, no matter how much money you make and no matter how big you are, everyone has a limit.

That's a pretty bold rumor to start there bud. I think I head Martin is the son of 2 male harvard doctors. If that's what they were going after, then that organization needs to clean house. Where is the leadership? You think someone would step in before it reached this point

Probably teased because he acts like a faggot. That'll do it every time.

this guy is a bitch. I read earlier that he took part in "bullying" other players. Fuck this dude.
