No not really. Incognito is a bigot and dirty on the field, but he didn't kill dozens of animals.
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. 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. It's taken out of context and people don't "get" athlete-speak. Same situation as Gregg Williams... it's fricking hyperbole and athlete-speak. It's not meant to be taken literally, you non-sports playing PUSSIES. The locker room and conversations between teammates are akin to "sanctuary" - or at least they have been until very very recently.

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.

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.

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.
