If the subject doing the bullying has yet to become a man, then the man being bullied has become a man, no? If that's the case, should the "man" know how to handle this "childish" behavior?

 

I know you're only using his argument against him, but these are adult men arguing. Americans love to victimize EVERYONE. If he has an issue, then he needs to address it with McNabb. If McNabb insist, then he needs to address it with the coach. If the coach doesn't care or shows complacency, then he needs to reconsider the team that employs him.. or his profession. 

 

This is a sport where 22 people push, shove, jab, tackle, clip, throw, etc. etc. They're battling it out for the title of strongest, fastest, meanest players. 

 

This is a silly argument. These aren't children unable to defend themselves.

 

I imagine, after Incognito, that any sort of criticism will be interpreted as "bullying". Is that really the atmosphere you want?

 

It doesn't matter if they're battling it out for the title of strongest fastest, meanest players.  They may be capable of defending themselves.  That doesn't give others the right to bully them.  Football is a sport.  Just because you happen to be tough doesn't make you immune from bullying.  


I imagine if we started ignoring bullying, that the bullied would start killing their bullies.  Is that really the atmosphere you want?

No, because I never promoted killing someone to resolve the situation. Bullying isn't and never will be justification for killing someone. I think people are reading into this far more than they should. I don't think bullying adults is worthy of being terminated or media attention. It isn't like we haven't all been bullied before...

 

 

What does it matter?


Regardless of your profession bullying shouldn't be tolerated in any workplace. These guys get paid to play the game. Where does having to defend yourself off the field come into play at?

 

Bullying is a generic term used to vilify people that criticize others. If the Dolphins, Eagles, or anyone else want prohibit any form of bullying, then more power to them. I don't think bullying an adult is worthy of our attention (if the person is capable of defending themselves).

I'm sure some bullied people will see it as a solution.  Bullying adults is absolutely worthy of being terminated.  As a manager, if I find one of my employees bullying another employee, I'm going to fire them.  And when it's in something where your life is under a microscope like the NFL, it's worthy of media attention.  Just because people have been bullied, doesn't mean that it's right.

Clobbering a bully tends to work the bullying personality defect out of them.

 

No need to take my statement and dramatize it into mentions of Columbine. Socking someone in the jaw for being disrespectful does not a mass murder make.

Could it be that the guy bullied was afraid to say anything because it was McNabb doing the bullying? Maybe he was worried about his job security if he all of a sudden beat their starting quarterbacks [BLEEP].


What would the team have done in that situation?

Traded him to a team where he wasn't getting bulled?

Break a bullies nose they stop being bullies, I guess some people never learned that lesson?

 

My kid was being bullied, he kept coming home complaining about it, I told him simple, knock the kid in the face next time then go tell the teacher what you did and deal with the consequences. Sure enough the "bully" came to pick on him one day, he made a fist and knocked the kid on his rear, he got in "trouble" at school for a day and it was over. The Bully hasn't messed with him sense, I told him you don't pick the fight but you'll never get in trouble with me for standing your ground.

 

As for adults being bullied, that's just beyond me?

When it comes to being bullied, in today's day and age, violence for violence does nothing to solve the issue at hand.


Those kids at Columbine were bullied and picked on everyday. And then they decided to retaliate....


Again what did it solve? Innocent people lost their lives because the kids that were being bullied decided to take matters into their own hands instead of taking the proper steps and going thru the right channels to end it. Johnathan Martin and others like him deserve a standing ovation for doing just that.


Its 2013 stop acting like a caveman.

 

Let me ask you is the threat of violence the same thing as violence?

Grown men complaining about being bullied.  You've got to be kidding me.

I have a feeling that any attempt to hold someone accountable has become bullying in our new world order. Noone is bad, they just have 'reasons,' you can't be a bully and tell them their wrong. Unless your in the government, then you can ignore all the laws, and condemn whoever you want.

Is it worth taking a chance that threat may be real when you have many options available to you to avoid it entirely?

"Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, if he gets angry, he's a mile away and barefoot."

That's just crazy talk!

I'm trying to make myself more informed and less opinionated.

Stop saying whatever stupid thing you're talking about and pay attention to all the interesting things I have to say!

I had a post going then I scrolled up and read this.  Bullying in the adult world has come to this.  Do I think adults are bullied because they are different or even weak in some cases, sure do and thats a problem that should be handled by mgmt and HR in those cases.  The original posted article though is more about a guy who had issues at work and it seemed like Mcnabb didnt agree with it.  He showed his frustration and all the sudden thats bullying.

 

I think people need to get some thicker skin.

Knarnn, in this case, violence solved a problem. Violence doesn't have to mean shooting someone.


Also, he can get a teacher and tell on the kid. He will probably get bullied more for tattling. Sometimes you need to stick up for yourself.

Well then, it worked in one case, obviously it'll always work.  Just stand up for yourself!  Never mind that it's not always just a single bully, or that some bullies are looking to pick a fight.

 

Violence doesn't have to mean shooting someone, but for some people, it's the only answer they have for 'standing up for themselves'.  Then you have people who commit suicide because of bullying.  

 

Bullying shouldn't be acceptable because you need to stick up for yourself.

And this is what's wrong with America. Seriously what does violence solve?
