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 do ents, 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.
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 phobic 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.
“Consistent with my prior practices involving similar investigative reports, it is not my present intention to hold a press conference or comment further about the Report. The Report is thorough and comprehensive, and speaks for itself,” said Mr. Wells.
Incognito is fuuuuucked
I don't mourn the probable death of Incognito's career. The dude's a POS, and I've disliked him for years. But I hate that this ruling endorsed Martin's -made tactics.
lol this would have never happened 20 years ago (the media break that is)
The Reck.
The Assistant Trainer We found that the Assistant Trainer, who
was born in Japan, was the target of frequent and persistent harassment, including insults relatingto 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 ****ing ,” 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.” Martin and others
informed us that Incognito and Jerry taunted the Assistant Trainer with jokes about having sex with his girlfriend. Incognito admitted that these types of comments were made to the Assistant Trainer.
On December 7, 2012, the anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl
Harbor, Incognito, Jerry and Pouncey donned traditional Japanese headbands that featured a rising sun emblem (which the Assistant Trainer had given them) and jokingly threatened to harm the Assistant Trainer physically in retaliation for the Pearl Harbor attack. According to Martin, the
Assistant Trainer confided in him that he was upset about the Pearl Harbor comments, finding them derogatory toward his heritage. Martin and another player we interviewed both believed that the Assistant Trainer awkwardly laughed along with some of the racial insults, even though he was in fact offended. And both players seemed offended by the flagrant racial harassment of the Assistant Trainer
In a text message sent on November 4, 2013, Martin told a friend:
“I always felt so bad for [the Assistant Trainer] . . .it was really racist.” Martinclaims that a number of Dolphins employees saw how the Assistant Trainer was humiliated but did not intervene, including his supervisor, head trainer Kevin O’Neill, who allegedly even laughed at some of the racial insults.
As far as we know,none of the players, including Martin, confronted Incognito, Jerry or Pouncey about the racist comments directed at
the Assistant Trainer or demanded that they cease.When interviewed about these matters, the Assistant Trainer initially pleaded that he not be required to answer certain questions, implying that he could not be forthright because he was concerned about losing the trust of the players.
The Assistant Trainer further claimed that Incognito was his friend and asserted that Incognito had never offended him. He
told us that he could not recall if Incognitohad called him a
“Chinaman” or a “Jap,” and refused to answer the question whether Incognito had said anything about his girlfriend, saying that the inquiry made him “very uncomfortable.”We did not findthe Assistant Trainer’s denials believable.
Notably,hours after Martin left the team on October 28, the Assistant Trainer sent him a text message indicating that he had indeed been personally offended by the insults directed at him by Incognito, Jerry and Pouncey:
“Hey JM I understand how [y]ou feel man...They are relentless sometime.... Some day I wanna do exactly what you did today.” (emphasis
added and ellipses in original). The ceaseless racial ridicule directed at the Assistant Trainer was appalling and plainly over the line in any workplace.
We also find the treatment of the Assistant Trainer particularly
troubling because he was not a fellow football player,but a subordinate, a
member of the training staff. In our view, it is likely that the Assistant Trainer
felt that he had no standing or ability to fight back, and feared the loss of his job if he protested and the players did not take kindly to his complaints.
Again, as with Player A, we view the treatment of the Assistant Trainer as part of a pattern of abusive, unprofessional behavior.
This is the world our gay guy is heading. Anyone who has ever played football knows how it really is, no Incognito is not some rarity.
