Post subject: | Ted Wells' report on the Incognito/Martin fiasco |
http://nfldolphinsreport.com/ On November 6, 2013, the National Football League announced that Ted Wells and the law firm of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP had been retained to direct an independent investigation into workplace conduct at the Miami Dolphins and prepare a public report for the Commissioner. Paul, Weiss has conducted a comprehensive investigation, aided by full cooperation from the NFL, the National Football League Players Association and the Miami Dolphins. Paul, Weiss reviewed thousands of voluntarily produced documents, including text messages, emails and team policies, and completed more than 100 interviews, including interviews of all Dolphins players and coaches, key front office personnel, and the team's owner and chairman. The opinions set forth in the report are those of Paul, Weiss, and no representative of the NFL, the NFLPA, the Dolphins or any player drafted, reviewed or edited the report. We caution that the language and behavior described in the report are extremely vulgar. http://63bba9dfdf9675bf3f10-68be460ce43dd2a60dd64ca5eca4ae1d.r37.cf1.rackcdn.com/PaulWeissReport.pdf |

Says Martin, another OL, and a trainer were bullied by the rest of the O-Line. Lot of racist/homophobic language and inappropriate touching. |

Press release: http://63bba9dfdf9675bf3f10-68be460ce43dd2a60dd64ca5eca4ae1d.r37.cf1.rackcdn.com/PressRelease_February2014.pdf excerpt Said Mr. Wells: “The Report concludes that three starters on the Dolphins offensive line, Richie Incognito, John Jerry and Mike Pouncey, engaged in a pattern of harassment directed at not only Jonathan Martin, but also another young Dolphins offensive lineman and an assistant trainer. The Report finds that the assistant trainer repeatedly was the object of racial slurs and other racially derogatory language; that the other offensive lineman was subjected to homophobic name-calling and improper physical touching; and that Martin was taunted on a persistent basis with sexually explicit remarks about his sister and his mother and at times ridiculed with racial insults and other offensive comments.” “The Report rejects any suggestion that Martin manufactured claims of abuse after the fact to cover up an impetuous decision to leave the team. Contemporaneous text messages that Martin sent to his parents and others months before he left the Dolphins—which have never before been made public—corroborate his account that the persistent harassment by his teammates caused him significant emotional distress. The Report concludes that the harassment by Martin’s teammates was a contributing factor in his decision to leave the team, but also finds that Martin’s teammates did not intend to drive Martin from the team or cause him lasting emotional injury,” said Mr. Wells. There's one team I guess Sam won't want to be drafted by ... |

@RapSheet Jonathan Martin paid Richie Incognito a $10K fine, by check, for failing to attend an OL gathering in Vegas, per Ted Wells’ report. Wow. @RapSheet Richie Incognito kept a fine book for OL kangaroo court. On 11/3, he texted players “They’re going to suspend me. Please destroy fine book” @RapSheet Wells: “Dolphins OL coach Jim Turner was aware of the running “joke” that Player A was gay, and on at least 1 occasion, he participated” Not sure how Jim Turner lasts the weekend .... |

I don't know the legalese, but I wonder if NFL players are considered "co-workers" that work in (for lack of a better term) an 'office' ... if not, what are they considered, because otherwise there's no end to the theoretical lawsuits that could be brought about at this point, especially by some hanger on who figures he'll get more money via the court rather than on the field. |

We also understand that context matters. We accept that the communications of young, brash, highly competitive football players often are vulgar and aggressive, and that these players never expected their private communications with each other to be made public. We did not approach this assignment expecting to discover behavior that society might anticipate in, say, an accounting firm or a law office. For better or worse, profanity is an accepted fact of life in competitive sports, and professional athletes commonly indulge in conduct inappropriate in other social settings. We also recognize that good-spirited goading often contributes to team bonding. But limits should exist. Even viewed in context, some of the behavior and language discussed in this Report is inappropriate by any reasonable measure of conduct becoming of a professional athlete—and, based on what he reported, certainly was offensive to Martin. |

Regardless of what myself or other may or may not think about Jonathan Martin, this Richie Incognito fella has made a hugely triumphant return into the category of Chief Asswipe, not to mention the nutless little toadies John Jerry and Mike Pouncey ... I mean, if you have to wait for a signal from someone else to have the "courage" to make fun of someone else, that's awfully special. 4. Incognito, Jerry and Pouncey Harassed Other Dolphins Personnel We found that the Assistant Trainer, who was born in Japan, was the target of frequent and persistent harassment, including insults relating to his race and national origin. Incognito, Jerry and Pouncey admitted that they directed racially derogatory words toward him, including “Jap” and “Chinaman.” At times, according to Martin, they referred to the Assistant Trainer as a “dirty communist” or a “North Korean,” made demands such as “give me some water you fucking chink,” spoke to him in a phony, mocking Asian accent, including asking for “rubby rubby sucky sucky,” and called his mother a “rub and tug masseuse.” |

The fact that a legal firm ultimately decided this heading was needed is as distressing as anything really. 8. The Culture of the Dolphins Offensive Line Does Not Excuse the Mistreatment of Martin ... except perhaps this one 9. Martin’s Friendship with Incognito Does Not Excuse the Abuse "Friendship" .... 11. The Fine Book Shows that Incognito Knew that the Harassment Affected Martin |

Isn't Pouncey the guy who is defending Aaron Hernandez, too? |

Not that it hasn't been pointed out any number of times I'm sure, but the best part of this whole cavalcade of fuckery is a guy named "Incognito" is basically front and center throughout the whole thing ... I mean, you can't make that kind of thing up. |
