    LOS ANGELES, November 6, 2013 — Much has been said about Miami Dolphin OL Richie Incognito, who has been suspended indefinitely pending an NFL investigation into the incident involving fellow teammate Jonathan Martin. The alleged accusations involving Incognito, much like the Riley Cooper incident earlier this year have once again fueled the national debate on bullying and racism.


    As much as people can all agree that these are two major issues that definitely need to be addressed, the general discussions regarding this specific case could not be less pertinent to the relevant truth.

    [HR][/HR] “Locker room culture will never be understood unless you’ve lived or have been around it,” said a personnel man to Sports Illustrated.


    Rookie hazing is where new players are often subjected to harassment, pranks and abuse by the veteran players as a means of initiation. Very similar to the fraternities and sororities of American colleges. Rookies often go along with it as a sign of respect to the senior players, and to keep from alienating themselves from their fellow teammates. Despite the growing controversy, it has generally been accepted as a part of the sports/fraternity culture.
