Fun and games to the bullies and the bullies usually don't want to give up their fun & games.

The major incidences get discussed in the Media but for each major incidence there can be dozens of smaller incidences.

Each time Martin enters a meeting he may hear laughs or snickering or get dirty looks or shunned or bumped into etc.

The tone of bullying can fill the room even when nothing is being said and that would wear on anyone.

Mental issues may have applied to Incognito & Martin (plus maybe even to Turner himself) after all, Turner was supposed to be the adult in the room. Turner likely got a certain amount of enjoyment from the palpable tone of bullying that likely filled the air somewhat perpetually when the O-line group got together.

These things while initially may seem harmless, can easily become divisive. And why would any coach or player want that? Martin and Incognito have been in the media even after this event with some seemingly bigger mental/emotional issues. I really hope they sort through some issues before they do something they can't take back. I think they have each gotten pretty close already.

And I am all for second chances once enough time has passed. All I can say is, I hope Turner realizes the NFL isn't high school and coaches at a higher level. You aren't going to have an elite unit with bullying as a teaching tool.
