The 10 Most Surprising Facts From The Miami Dolphins Hazing Scandal Report [PHOTOS]

With the 2013-2014 NFL season now in the books, many thought we had heard the last of the Miami Dolphins hazing scandal. A recent investigation proves that the events were even more twisted than we all imagined.

The independent 144 page report, conducted by Ted Wells, was commissioned by the NFL with the hopes of uncovering the severity of the hazing scandal. In November 2013 it was learned that Miami Dolphins Jonathan Martin quit the team after suffering mental anguish at the hands of his teammates, namely Richie Incognito.

But according to the report findings, the “tough love” ran rampant though out the Dolphins locker room and other players were just as guilty as Incognito.

Hip-Hop-Wired will save you the time of combing through 144 pages of paperwork and present you the top 10 shocking findings from the Miami Dolphins hazing report.

Let us know what you found most surprising in the comment section.

Mother And Sister

Jonathan Martin’s sister was a target of the harassment throughout verbal taunts and texts from his teammates. “We are going to run train on your sister. She loves me. I’m going to f— her without a condom and c– in her c—.”

Incognito Kept A Fine Book

“Incognito recorded a $200 fine against himself for “breaking Jmart,” awarded another lineman who had been verbally taunted a $250 bonus for “not cracking first,” and wrote down a number of penalties against Martin for acting like a “pussy.” The evidence shows, and Incognito did not dispute, that “breaking Jmart” meant causing Martin to have an emotional reaction in response to taunting.

Approximately one week after Martin left the team, on November 3, 2013, Incognito wrote nearly identical text messages to Pouncey and another lineman: “They’re going to suspend me Please destroy the fine book first thing in the morning.”

Jokes About Gunning Down Black People

“Incognito and a former Dolphins offensive lineman, who is white, communicated about purchasing guns, apparently for recreational purposes. (We identify this former Dolphin as Player B.) The discussion veered into jokes about shooting black people:

Player B: Especially if u plan living in Arizona in the future, that’s exactly what you want

Incognito: Yea. For picking off zombies

Player B: Lol isn’t that why we own any weapons!?

Incognito: That and black people

Player B: Mmm def all black ppl

Four days later, Incognito and Player B discussed rifle scopes in text messages.

Player B: Yes. That’s a solid optic made specifically for a .308 battle rifle

Incognito: Perfect for shooting black people

Player B: Lol exactly

Player B: Or Jeff Ireland”

Training Staff

“Incognito, Jerry and Pouncey admitted that they directed racially derogatory words toward him, including “Jap” and “Chinaman.” At times, according to Martin, they referred to the Assistant Trainer as a “dirty communist” or a “North Korean,” made demands such as “give me some water you f—ing chink,” spoke to him in a phony, mocking Asian accent, including asking for “rubby rubby sucky sucky,” and called his mother a “rub and tug masseuse.” Martin and others informed us that Incognito and Jerry taunted the Assistant Trainer with jokes about having sex with his girlfriend. Incognito admitted that these types of comments were made to the Assistant Trainer.

On December 7, 2012 (the anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor), Incognito, Jerry and Pouncey donned traditional Japanese headbands that featured a rising sun emblem and jokingly threatened to harm the Assistant Trainer physically in retaliation for the Pearl Harbor attack. Martin reported that the Assistant Trainer confided to him that he was upset about the Pearl Harbor prank, finding it derogatory and demeaning.”

Homophobic Taunting

Apparently an unnamed player was taunted about his sexuality with offensive line coach Jim Turner participating in the harassment. 

“Martin and other witnesses informed us that Player A was repeatedly called a “fa—t” and subjected to other homophobic invective. Incognito stated that Player A, although not actually believed to be gay, was subject to these taunts repeatedly and persistently—he got it “every day from everybody, high frequency.” According to Incognito, Player A was a “good kid” and he “took it well,” never asking his teammates to stop.

The evidence shows that [Offensive Line Coach Jim Turner] overheard and participated in this behavior toward Player A. During the 2012 Christmas season, Coach Turner gave all of the offensive linemen gift bags that included a variety of stocking stuffers. In each gift bag except for Player A’s, Turner included a female “blow-up” doll; Player A’s bag included a male doll.”

Jim Turner Texted Jonathan Martin

On November 2nd 2013, Turner texted Jonathan Martin after the scandal hit.

“Turner: Richie incognito is getting hammered on national TV. This is not right. You could put an end to all the rumors with a simple statement. DO THE RIGHT THING. NOW.

Martin: Coach. I want to put out a statement. Believe me I do. This thing has become such a huge story somehow. But I’ve been advised not to… And I’m not supposed to text anyone either cuz last time I responded to a teammate (Richie) I was intentionally manipulated and the conversation was immediately forwarded to a reporter.

Turner: He is protecting himself. He has been beat up for 4 days. Put an end to this. You are a grown man. Do the right thing

Turner: John I want the best for you and your health but make a statement and take the heat off Richie and the lockerroom. This isn’t right.

Turner [The next day]: I know you are a man of character. Where is it?”

Nate Garner

Lineman Nate Garner got taunted Incognito too:

“Incognito: Excited for tonight Nate is on the verge of killing us all. 

Long: Good man It will be a good one for u guys tonight. Haha. What r u guys doing to Nate.

Incognito: Since we cut samuda we have been non stop on nate. Even turner is in on it. He looks like he’s about to cry 24/7.

Long: Hahahaha. He’s gonna go crazy one of these days.”

Garner then reached out to Jonathan Martin once the scandal became public:

“Hey bro if u need to talk to anyone I’m here for ya. I have been dealing with this sh-t for 6 years. I hope ur coin ok”

The Fight

“According to Martin, what began as inoffensive pushing and shoving with Incognito escalated to play boxing and then suddenly took a more aggressive turn when Incognito took off his shirt, tackled him onto a sofa, and began punching him in the body and the face (though not hard enough to bruise or draw blood). Martin said he struggled to get Incognito off of him until several of his teammates broke up the scuffle.

Martin claimed (and other players agreed) that Incognito had a loud, belligerent side of his personality, which some called the “Tornado,” and which allegedly tended to emerge after Incognito had been drinking. In Martin’s view, the “Tornado” attacked him at the Christmas party.”

Vegas

The offensive line planned a group trip to Las Vegas in January of 2012. Martin did not want to attend and flew in a day later than the rest of his teammates:

“Martin: Yo you flying into Vegas Thursday?

Incognito: Yea, 3;30

Martin: Ok cool. I’m getting in Friday, I got a meeting that morning. When you leaving, Monday?

Incognito: Friday…. R u f—ing serious

Martin: Yup… Don’t worry I know I still gotta pay for hookers lol

Martin: I gotta get at least one for [Player A]…

Incognito: Don’t forget the cocaine too

Incognito: No dude hookers u fa—-t

Incognito: Don’t blame ur gay tendancies on [Player A]

Martin: I’m gonna get more b—-es in 2 nights than all of you combined

Incognito: Stop it. By b—-es u mean cocks in ur mouth

Incognito: U f—ing mulatto liberal bitch

Incognito: I’m going to sh-t in ur eye

Incognito: Goodnight slut

Incognito: Tell ur squirting sister I said hi

Martin: Ah yes I missed being demeaned by you boys lol… Can’t wait for this weekend”

No Snitching

Jonathan Martin kept quiet because of a team “no snitching” policy:

“Sometimes, a fine would be levied on a lineman who was branded a “Judas,” meaning a traitor or “snitch.” For example, if Coach Turner, while watching game film footage, criticized a lineman for missing an assignment, and that lineman pointed out that one of his teammates was actually at fault, that lineman might be labeled a “Judas,” which could result in a fellow player imposing a fine. Multiple Dolphins offensive linemen were familiar with the “Judas” concept and told us that Coach Turner had discussed it with them. Turner, however, denied knowing what the term “Judas” meant in the context of the Dolphins offensive line. In fact, he denied ever hearing the term “Judas” or “Judas fine” used in the offensive line room. He also denied lecturing players on its meaning. We do not credit Turner’s denials. The evidence shows that Turner was aware of the “Judas” concept and that he had discussed its meaning with the linemen, explaining how Judas had betrayed Jesus Christ and defining Judas as a “snitch.” Further, Chris Mosley, the Dolphins former assistant offensive line coach, claimed that Turner actually introduced the Judas concept to the offensive linemen.

We accept that the fear of being labeled a “snitch” or a “Judas” played a role in Martin’s decision not to report abuse from his teammates. Martin believed that going to his coaches or other authority figures meant risking ostracism or even retaliation from his fellow linemen.”
