As more and more details begin to poor out regarding the Miami Dolphins locker room issues, specifically those involving offensive linemen, Richie Incognito and Jonathan Martin, you can believe that the culture of the NFL will once again be front and center. Several Miami Dolphins players, both on and off the record, have come out in support of Incognito.
In addition to that, some players have stated that not not only is Incognito not a racist, he’s considered an “honorary black man.”
“I don’t have a problem with Richie,” Mike Wallace said. “I love Richie.”
“I don’t think Richie is a racist,” cornerback Brent Grimes said.
“Richie Incognito isn’t a racist,” tight end Michael Egnew said.
While some are shaking their heads in disbelief, that the conversation exists about “honorary brothers,” the reality is, once someone is considered family- and in this case, it’s obvious that a lot in that Dolphins locker room felt Incognito was like a brother – the same restrictions that one places in an outsider are lifted. There are several reasons for this but it’s mainly because they feel as if they know that person’s heart. Their belief system, etc. So they believe that there is no malice or ill will in certain words or actions because they know the real.
People extend hood passes daily.
A special commission is being put together to investigate the incidents.
