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

Bullying is a very serious issue, and I'm not sure why grown men shouldn't report it.

---

I was wrong about Trent Baalke. 

I just saw this as well.

 

I just find it a little odd that a 235 pound QB could 'bully' a 330 pound offensive lineman.  He should have just kicked his behind.

---

I find it out of character for McNabb. 

 

If anything, I would have expected it to be reversed, with McNabb being the one bullied. He always came off as sort of aloof. 

---

Doesn't shock me, if you watch him on NFLN he always seems stuck up as hell.

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

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

If a adult male is subject to bullying then that adult male has yet to become a man. He may be chronologically and physically, but mentally he is still a boy.

That being the case, a NFL locker room is not where that person should be employed.

If somebody is pestering you over and over for absolutely no reason what would you do? Kick his [BAD WORD REMOVED] and get suspended? Don't be stupid. 

 

EDIT: I'm referring to the incognito/martin thing btw.

I would handle it one on one in a private manner. I would not do what this clown did, which was apparently nothing, and then come out years later whining about it. Still not man enough to take it straight to the accused bully.

I dont think I've ever heard an NFL team suspend anyone for a fight in practice (when it was your first run in with the wrong side of things) and who knows what has happened behind closed doors.

 

At some point in your life, if someone intentionally kept going at you about something, wouldnt you at some point stand up for yourself?

 

To make it worse, the "bullying" happened years ago and he is just now coming out about it.  Its weak and lame.  I cant stand McNabb, but this is terrible

Not only that, but if you know the bully could physically do something to you, go grab a coach or mgmt and say I need you to watch this.  Confront the guy and see how its resolved.

 

Its amazing what talking about it could do.  It doesnt even have to resort to violence.

I was talking more about the richie incognito deal, the Mcnabb one is pointless because he doesn't even have to deal with it anymore tho tbh.

Violence solves a lot of things, it might not be PC to admit or say, but your entire world of rule and law is dictated by violence. It's one of the dumbest cliches around, what does violence solve, answer almost everything like it or not.

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.

I think the main difference is that your example is about kids, and we are talking about adults.  The maturity difference means a lot.

 

I get what you are saying and agree to an extent.  The main reason kids (and in this case adults) are bullied is because they are looked at as weak and that they can not stand up for themselves.  Violence may not be the best way to solve it in most cases, but for those that can stand up to the bullies they really should.  For others, asking friends, teacheers, coaches, peers, etc...for help may be the best way.

 

At some point you have to get a backbone and stand up for yourself.

Kids, Adults, doesn't matter.  If you're bullying someone because you think they are weak, then you're nothing but a child yourself.  Adults will handle the situation the same way the kids at columbine did, and they have.  Adults are able to easily get a gun.  I guess then you'll have stood up for yourself when you shoot or stab the bully. And then nobody wins.  The bully loses his life.  The bullied loses his life (to prison).

Violence may solve bullying, but it's not the best solution.  If Jack is bullying Joe, and Joe goes and gets a gun and shoots Jack, Jack isn't going to bully Joe anymore because Jack is dead.  Joe solved his bully problem.  But in the end he goes to prison or gets shot by a police officer.

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?

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?
