Jonathan Martin’s Text Message

On November 3rd, 2013, the Miami Dolphins suspended starting guard Richie Incognito after representatives from the team’s right tackle Jonathan Martin claimed Incognito repeatedly had threatened and harassed him. Transcripts of voice mail and text messaged were provided by Martin, which contained explicit language and racial epithets.^[1] On November 10th, Incognito was interviewed on Fox about the incident, where he claimed that Martin had sent him a message saying “I will murder your whole fucking family” one week prior to the suspension. The same day, Martin’s lawyer David Cornwell posted an image macro captioned with the phrase, claiming it was meant to be a joke.
