Quote: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...

 

 

Quote: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).
