Teammates Chime In - Martin claimed he was bullied, Incognito attested his innocence, and according to Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill, Martin and Incognito were “best friends.” “The first guy to stand up for Jonathan when anything went down on the field, any kind of tussle, Richie was the first guy there,” Tannehill told the press on Nov. 7.(Photo: Mike Ehrmann/Getty Images)
Players Take Sides - As the bullying and racism drama continued to unfold, other players expressed their opinions on the matter. NY Giants safety Andre Rolle said, “Jonathan Martin is a 6-foot 5, 320-pound dude. I think he should be able to stand up for himself and say no I’m not doing it.”(Photo: Peter G. Aiken/Getty Images)
Jonathan Martin Entered a Treatment Facility? - Numerous reports surfaced on Nov. 8 that upon leaving the Dolphins, Martin “checked himself into a South Florida hospital to be treated for emotional distress.” Sources said Miami coach Joe Philbin visited Martin at the hospital, and the organization arranged for his parents to travel to South Florida.(Photo: David Dermer/Diamond Images/Getty Images)
Incognito Finally Speaks Out - “When I see that voice mail, when I see those words come up across the screen, I’m embarrassed by it. I’m embarrassed by my actions,” Incognito told Fox Sports, referring to using racial slurs. “When the words are put in the context, I understand why a lot of eyebrows get raised, but people don’t know how Jon and I communicate to one another.”(Photo: Courtesy of Fox News)Dolphins Owner Supports Martin - Dolphins owner Stephen Ross made his first public comments regarding the situation on Nov. 11. “I was appalled [by the language in the voice mail]. Anybody would be appalled,” Ross told reporters. "There will not be racial slurs or harassing or bullying in that work place, in that locker room and outside the locker room."(Photo: Al Messerschmidt/Getty Images)
