I think they're blaming martin for how it was handled by him...a grown man acting like a baby. we don't even know what Richie said, the media loves to sensationalize **** for juicy stories and we all know how juicy a racism story is for them. I wanna see proof of whatrichie said but I bet the n word gets thrown around in the locker room as much as you hear on a rap album.
You are way off base if you think this is something as slight as Ritchie referring to Martin by the "n" word. Certainly the media likes to "sensationalize" things . . . but I'm getting the feeling there was some severe harassment going on, and probably for quite some time and Martin had enough of it. I honestly don't even want to know to be honest, just take the proper action and lets move on.
