Richie Incognito sent out tweets poking at the lawsuit yesterday, adding more fuel to the fire.

Incognito has since deleted the tweets, but the damage has already been done.

An article on Yahoo! Sports read that the Incognito’s attitude could be attributed to the release of the text messages between Incognito and Martin.

“Finally, every NFL observer agrees with Incognito,” writer Anwar Richardson wrote. “It’s time for this debacle to end.”

Richardson’s 8-graf article, half made up of single sentences, was paired with almost 450 comments.

Some commenters agreed with Richardson, calling Martin everything from a “weenie” to a “pansy.” Others took Martin’s side, but a final third of the commenters wrote that the whole investigation was “stupid” and “BS.”

More interestingly, Richardson is an African-American writer. Although Martin was getting racial slurs thrown at him for being half black, Richardson took the side of Incognito.

So have many other reporters.

Richardson’s siding with Incognito was a plea. A plea to the NFL, to reporters, to people reading about the investigation all over the internet.

The plea was that people stop taking everything to heart. Richardson believed the comments at Martin were not bullying, rather locker room banter between two teammates.

“He was accused of bullying and harassing Martin, but the text messages showed both men engaged in boyish dialogue,” Richardson wrote.

The fate of the case is still undecided, much to Incognito’s dismay.

According to many, Incognito should be found innocent. Still others disagree.

Hopefully Ted Wells’ report is finalized soon in order to calm the internet.
