I thought the NFL was supposed to be a professional organization. Now some knuckle draggers are saying he should have fought back…punched the guy in the mouth right there in the locker room. And guess who’s fault it would have been then? LG

Jonathan Martin’s new attorney says the Miami Dolphins tackle endured harassment from teammates that went far beyond the traditional locker room hazing, including a malicious physical attack and daily vulgar comments.
The allegations were made in a statement Thursday night by David Cornwell, hired this week as Martin’s attorney.
“These facts are not in dispute,” Cornwell said.
Martin, upset by treatment he considered abusive, left the Dolphins last week. His agent then complained to the Dolphins, who suspended guard Richie Incognito.
The NFL is investigating whether Incognito harassed or bullied Martin, and whether their teammates and the organization mishandled the matter.
Cornwell is a lawyer who has represented the NFL and several prominent players, including Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. He was a candidate in 2009 to become executive director of the NFL Players Association, a job that went to DeMaurice Smith.
Cornwell’s statement alleges an unidentified Dolphins player threatened Martin’s sister in vulgar fashion: “We are going to run train on your sister … She loves me. I am going to f— her without a condom …”
