On Sunday night the Miami dolphins suspended Richie Incognito for conduct detrimental to the team and to the player which was most greatly affected by his inappropriate conduct, Richie Martin. incognito sent Martin racial and inappropriate messages on multiple occasions. He then made him pay 15,000 for a trip to Las Vegas that he did not even want to participate in. This conduct by Incognito led to Martin leaving the team and Incognito getting himself suspended indefinitely. I watched two different news channels discussing Ingognito's actions, ESPN and ABC news at 7.
The differences between these two channels was that ESPN took this story from the team and sports point of view and ABC approached it on a moral and discrimination point of view. They went on to explain how a person of Incognito's character should not be on a team because of his character. They also explained how there are many other players like him are in the NFL and some teams even have a list of players not to draft or purchase due to off-field issues. The panel then discussed how a player with a bad attitude and critical of other players in a negative way is not good for the teams quality of play. On the other hand ABC discussed how it is embarrassing for Incognito and his family and questioned how someone could be so rude and racist in this day and age.
