Folks, the Dolphins took one look at the evidence and kicked Incognito off the team a day after they said they didn't know what happened to Martin. That speaks volumes.
If we want to look at past history, take a look at Incognito's. As far as I can tell, Incognito has been involuntarily evicted from every team he has joined since high school - Nebraska, Oregon, the Rams, the Bills and now, evidently, the Dolphins. He's swung at coaches, been fined and/or suspended multiple times and been voted the NFL's dirtiest player. He is well known for abusing rookies at each stop along the way.
And yet, The Dolphins turned a blind eye and brought him on board.Â
Think about that. What kind of message does that send a young rookie about institutional support once normal hazing turns violent and abusive? Is management going to support the talented veteran or the unproven rookie?
Objectivity is admirable but Occam's razor suggests there are simpler ways of assessing blame than looking in the abused victims direction.
