I'll reserve my comments and thoughts until we find out if the accusations are true or not

Wouldn't shock me, but his teammate is defending him fwiw

Not sure why the one guy would lie...would understand him lying more if they had lost, but they did not.
That tied into Cognito having a history of this with the dolphins, and I think it was reported to have happened before the whole dophins and martin situation.

I would tend to believe it did happen vs did not happen.

With all the trash talk they do, I would love to know what is considered a "weak" racial slur.

It wouldn't really surprise me one bit, given his past.
To avoid being a knee-jerk reactor, I'd still need verification; otherwise it's just he-said/he-said.

The odd thing is that, from what I've heard, a guy like Cole Beasley gets racial comments almost every game by opposing players ...as part of trash talk.
He could make a fuss about it but would be called a wuss for doing so.

The other side of the story. I have low regard for Incognito other than he's got the coolest name for a Mr. Irrelevant ever, but the response from his teammate is worth sharing.

Incognito was drafted in the 3rd round.

Once you get "verification" then what? Why can't we just now claim it to be "awful if true." Absolutely there are instances where women and minorities have exaggerated details, but way more often than not, they are telling what happened truthfully. This is why women and minorities have been scared to speak up about stuff over time, because whenever they do, their credibility is attacked, rather than just being listened to.

Sure
Of course, it's awful if true.

I thought that's what I was saying. Once we know it's true THEN we go forward. I even said (fair or not) that I lean towards thinking it could be true.

If it's not true, of course, that is awful as well.
And Dion Dawkins says it didn't happen.

For an extreme example....If I tell people you rape little handicapped babies just because I already didn't like you (which is not the case, of course)...that does not make it automatically true.

You know that only works one way.

Richie has cost himself so much money with his mouth and temper. Cause as a football player, he is a very good guard, even at 34 years old.
Dolphins have yet to find anyone as good as he was for them years ago. Mean SOB who plays hard and obviously is a **** talker.

NFL will look into Yannick Ngakoue’s claim of racial slurs by Incognito

Jaguars defensive end Yannick Ngakoue has accused Bills guard Richie Incognito of using racial slurs during Sunday’s game in Jacksonville. That definitely won’t be the end of the situation.

“We will look into this,” NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy told PFT on Monday morning.

Several years ago, the NFL began to enforce aggressively a prohibition on the use of racial slurs during games. Former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick was fined in 2014 for using a racial slur; he denied it even after the fine was cut in half.

The challenge could be corroborating Ngakoue’s claim, if Incognito aldo denies it. Field microphones could be relevant, as could other players who may have heard whatever Incognito said.

 

[John813]

Has any other Jag defender said anything about that? The Tackle next to Ngakoue?

 

[TheCoolFan]

I like that he wanted to emphasize that he wasn't Jonathan Martin

I think anybody who has played competitive sports, at any level, has been called names that can be construed as offensive.

But all of a sudden, in the last 5+ years, it creates headlines.

I'm not condoning racist slurs, but seriously, grow a pair.

It was different years ago. Doesn't make it right, but I agree about not whining like a lil beach about it.

Way back when....More often than not, I'd be one of the only white dudes in several sports situations. Ran anchor on an all-black track team and pretty much faced all-black teams in competition.
So very often I was the only white dude on the basketball court. I once dunked on a big bully, Barkley sized, guy in a high school game and next time down court he forearmed shivered me to the floor.
Lots of oohs and aahs...he busted my lip good . lol
But then he wanted to all out fight. My black "brothers" were all over that guy and some of his own fans (packed house and maybe 80+% black) booed him.

Also, played running back and DB in football...heard a lot of trash then too. Especially after getting tackled.

I will say this, my closest black friends and/or teammates where the very first to defend me. Almost so much that I had to ask them to dial it back to not make a scene.
Lotta love, but man, I saw some serious hate too.
Welcome to the entire planet...as in..forever.
