Oh, Grow Up

Stop crying crocodile tears.
From ESPN: Jonathan Martin has endured constant harassment, daily verbal attacks and even a "malicious physical attack" from teammates during his time with the Miami Dolphins, according to a statement released Thursday on Martin's behalf by lawyer David Cornwell.
"Jonathan Martin's toughness is not at issue," Cornwell said in the statement. "Jonathan has started every game with the Miami Dolphins since he was drafted in 2012. At Stanford, he was the anchor for Jim Harbaugh's 'smash mouth' brand of football and he protected Andrew Luck's blind side....
Dolphins players had mixed reactions Thursday to a potential return by Martin, just 24 hours after many players expressed support for Incognito, who was suspended indefinitely Sunday for conduct detrimental to the team. http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/9943626/lawyer-david-cornwell-says-jonathan-martin-endured-harassment-taunting
Playing in the NFL is not like playing in college.  You have to be super tough, mentally and physically.  You have to be physically tough enough to push around a 350 muscular pound man and mentally tough enough as a cop or Navy SEAL. 
If you are not tough enough, you are a Jonathon Martin and your teammates will get after you and it won't be cute and nice.
Jonathon Martin has made himself to be a weak professional football player and now is hiding behind his lawyer.
His career as a pro football player is done.
