1. A Miami Dolphin football player, named Richie Incognito, was just suspended this week from the team for allegedly bullying a teammate, named Jonathan Martin, so much that Martin walked out in the middle of the day just before practice and has not returned to the team. Feedback from the league has been mixed. Some former players say that this kind of thing should never happened and that the severity of the bullying went way over the line, while others say that Martin needed to deal with the situation behind closed door and that he is a "sissy" and a "tattletale". Do you think that professional football players should be held do a different standard when it comes to these types of incidents because its a "Mans" sport or not? WHY? (MAKE SURE TO ANSWER WHY?) Do you think that Incognito should be allowed to play again? WHY? Do you think the other Dolphin players will welcome Martin back to the team with open arms? WHY?
I think that bullying is not right, no matter where it is. Saying that it is okay because it is football is completely wrong. I think that other players allying their teammate a "sissy" is rude and they are just trying to keep Richie Incognito out of trouble. Incognito should be able to play again but maybe after some time off and an apology to Martin.  The players also should not have any kind of  vendetta against Martin because it wasn't his fault.
