| Dirty plays got this asshole suspended from his team. |
The controversy with the NFL.
The AFC team the Miami Dolphins had sent a player his walking papers after he force a teammate off the team after constant harassment.
Richie Incognito got his indefinite suspension after he pissed Jonathon Martin off. The reports of this asshole bullying Martin with threats. Incognito also sent some racist text messages to Martin. Incognito has garnered attention over the years for perceived dirty play amongst NFL players, coaches, and fans. He has been alleged to have gouged player's eyes, punched players, and made illegal tackles on a regular basis.
ESPN reported on Incognito's alleged role in harassment of teammate Jonathan Martin. Incognito had reached out to Martin after he'd left the team, and the two had an amicable text exchange, in which Incognito claims Martin said he did not blame him or his teammates personally.
Incognito subsequently expressed outrage over the report, going on Twitter to demand that ESPN's Adam Schefter "Stop slandering my name."
| NFL's bad boy! |
The article goes on to state that "the matter is absolutely under review and preliminarily identifies Incognito as an alleged offender in multiple incidents of possible harassment and bullying over the past two seasons, with Martin not the only victim." Schefter and Mortensen also cited unnamed sources that one of the significant allegations is an incident during the summer of 2013 when Incognito got Martin to contribute $15,000 to help finance a trip to Las Vegas by a group of Dolphins, even though Martin preferred not to, "fearing the consequences if he did not hand over the money."
On November 3, Mike Garafolo reported on Fox Sports 1 that Incognito is alleged to have sent Martin threatening and racially charged messages. He also reported that the team and league—rather than the players' association—has been asked to investigate.

| Jonathon Martin got tired of the horseplay and decided to leave. |
La Canfora and Schefter subsequently reported statements from an unnamed source that the team and the league are now in possession of highly disturbing texts and voicemails in which Incognito used a racial slur against Martin, and disturbing text and voice exchanges including "a reference to tracking down members of Martin's family and harming them" and even threatening to kill Martin. According to La Canfora, Incognito's alleged harassment of Martin had gotten to the point that Martin actually feared for his safety, and felt that leaving the team was his only option.
Just hours after the Dolphins' game against the Cincinnati Bengals, the Dolphins suspended Incognito indefinitely for conduct detrimental to the team. The Dolphins also asked the NFL to join their own internal investigation of the matter.
According to Schefter, the final straw for the Dolphins was a highly graphic voicemail Incognito left in April 2013, in which Incognito used racial slurs against Martin and made threats against Martin and his mother.
“Hey, wassup, you half n—– piece of s—,” Incognito told Martin. “I saw you on Twitter, you been training 10 weeks. [I want to] s— in your f—ing mouth. [I’m going to] slap your f—ing mouth. [I’m going to] slap your real mother across the face. F— you, you’re still a rookie. I’ll kill you.”
Until then, the Dolphins had publicly maintained the charges against Incognito were pure speculation.
Schefter said that as late as the afternoon of November 3, the Dolphins didn't even know the voicemail even existed. Within hours of hearing the tape, Schefter said, Incognito had been suspended.
The next day, a Dolphins source told The Miami Herald that Incognito will never play another down for the Dolphins again, and that the team intends to cut ties with him at the earliest opportunity.
A recap of why he became the "MOST DIRTIEST PLAYER".
He was with the AFC's St. Louis Rams for a moment before his antics got him booted.
