Richie Incognito au coeur de la tempête

Nous n'avons peut-être pas l'ensemble des faits pour l'instant, mais il semble qu'une certaine culture du sport soit au centre de la controverse impliquant Richie Incognito des Dolphins de Miami. Le joueur est suspendu par l'équipe après des propos pour le moins désobligeants sur Tweeter. Le joueur visé par les gazouillis racistes, Jonathan Martin, a quitté l'équipe.

 "Incognito said he didn't want to comment on media reports that he sent line-mate Jonathan Martin voice mails containing racial slurs and threats of physical violence. When asked about his status with the team, Incognito closed the door to his car without answering and drove away.

 ESPN, NFL.com and other media outlets reported that representatives for Martin on Sunday submitted the voice mails and texts to the league and the Dolphins. One of the messages, from April, contained a reference to Martin's biracial background, according to ESPN's sources.

 "Hey, wassup, you half (expletive) piece of (expletive). I saw you on Twitter, you been training 10 weeks. I'll (expletive) in your (expletive) mouth. I'm gonna slap your (expletive) mouth, I'm gonna slap your real mother across the face (laughter). (Expletive) you, you're still a rookie. I'll kill you."

 Comment expliquer la teneur de tels propos à l'endroit d'un coéquipier? Une tentative d'explication de l'ancien joueur des Dolphins Channing Crowder: "NFL players are "a bunch of testosterone-filled alpha males who are trying to find their place on the totem pole," "
