NFL

I've never really been a fan of football and with players like this running around? Maybe I never will be. Football is already an extremely rough, aggressive, violent sport with men running DIRECTLY at one another and physically TACKLING each other to the ground. One would imagine that with all that violence occurring on the field, that off the field, teammates would stick together. In Richard Cognito's eyes, this clearly isn't the case. It is absolutely ridiculous that he bullied his teammate Martin to the point that he had to quit the team for fear of his own safety. On one hand, I thought "Man up! You wanna hang around the big boys? You've gotta toughen up!" but then I sat back and thought that he must have really been pushed over the edge to leave the team; which is also leaving a fat paycheck. The part that bothered me the most was that no one spoke out against it or tried to stop it. There is no possible way the other teammates, coaches and everyone else had no idea what was going on in that locker room. And it's an absolute shame that no one has done anything about it until now. I hope that Incognito and whoever else was involved is prosecuted to the fullest extent because they deserve it.
