I have read the full report and I am greatly saddened to read about my beloved team in this way. Reading many Finheaven contributor comments, it amazes me that so many seek to defend Incognito, Pouncey and Jerry and condemn Martin, player B and the Asian assistant trainer. The Wells Report appears very thorough and there does appear to be evidence of harassment.
I am not surprised by the findings, I thought that there was likely to be substance all along. I am disgusted and appalled by the nature of the report,
Time to clean house on the O-line. These players are meant to behave like professionals, Turner needs to be fired today by Philbin. Head Trainer O'Neill is on thin ice because he refused to cooperate with the investigation.
For anyone who is interested in the matter, my advice is to take the time to read the report and draw your own conclusions. For everyone who sees Martin as the culprit and Incognito as the victim, I urge you to read the report. The breadth of issues pertaining to the Asian Assistant Trainer and player B are also very concerning.
GoonBoss correctly assessed Martin as being weak, but with the evidence presented, I concur with Wells conclusions.
Root cause of the problem is that for all of Incognito's talent on the field, he is/was uncontrollable and should not have been the designated O-line team leader. Regardless of his popularity on the team, he is probably an alpha dog sociopath and he was the guy selected and encouraged to be the guy to toughen Martin up. Very poor decision (and Philbin, Sherman, Turner and Ireland hold some responsibility in both permitting it and not monitoring it closely). Sherman and Ireland are gone and it's a formality that Turner will be fired. Philbin needs a reality check in the circumstances.
