i don’t know but if J Martin took a stand or opened his mouth maybe this would’ve been nipped in the butt a long time ago....

No, he is laying the foundation for raking in BIG bucks. His mother is a prominent anti-harassment lawyer.

More PC from the NFL. What are the players supposed to be tolerant of??

Why cannot people reject some behaviors, and favor some over others? Just a bunch of busy bodies and cry babies.
