re: How Richie Incognito became NFL’s No. 1 villain

I just don't think it's cut and dry that he's a bigot. Look at Ricky Williams' take on it and consider that it's typical locker room speak.

I have no doubt about that. I was making the comparison to vick. Black people call other black people N****s all the time, and probably every other word in professional sports locker rooms. It's just the way it's going to be for a loooooooong time.

Those texts/messages weren't for public consumption - I hate this tattle-tale society we live in where things that are said in private can bring down a person's entire life in front of the world.

No different from nudies or dick pics. They aren't relevant until the person in them is. People hold on to that shite until they need to use it to their or someone they know's advantage.

It's taken out of context and people don't "get" athlete-speak.

I don't get what he said on the voice mail or text that was taken out of context. Was the guy a dick? More than likely from everything i've read. Was he a bigot.....most white people are to an extent, so he probably was to an extent also. I don't completely pass this off as athlete speak. I do know that if the roles were reversed, this would not be getting near the attention as it is now.
