Read the story here but I've got several issues with this ....
1. Was it bullying, hazing or locker room behavior? The proper classification is important. If we get to a point where people are forced to become robots then the NFL like many workplaces is going to be a very unpleasant place.
2. Did the so call "bullier" realize that his actions were being taken in a negative and not a playful light? Sorry but sometimes you react in kind to let others know their boundaries. Was the victim (a six foot five, three hundred twenty pound lineman) so timid that he refused to let the bullier know that he was inches away from getting knocked on his ass?
3. If someone left a voicemail saying anything derogatory about my mother, I would let him know that he would be fed feet first through a woodchipper. But doing it the way this guy did by walking off the job has me wondering. Did he inform the organization that he had an issue with someone?
The saddest part of all of this is now we're establishing the principle that an adult can be bullied.
That's false. An adult can make choices. An adult can choose to be a victim or choose to stand up for themselves.
The NFL has aided in the pussification of America.
