Finally, a message from a Miami Dolphin that ISN’T offensive!
Jonathan Martin reportedly received a text message from team owner Stephen Ross last week to offer his support in the wake of being bullied by fellow teammate Richie Incognito.
Ross explained to Martin in his text that he is committed to creating a professional environment for all members of his organization.
But in addition to receiving text messages, Jonathan Martin allegedly SENT one that Incognito wants everyone to know about before they point the bully finger solely at him!
In his recent interview with Fox Sports, Richie claimed that he received a message from Martin that threatened the lives of his family!
Jonathan Martin’s lawyer took to Twitter over the weekend to release the text in question, posting:

OMFG! This whole thing is just a mess!
The NFL needs to seriously get started changing their game plan on how to keep players safe, both physically AND mentally!
Martin is expected to speak about these incidents for the first time as soon as this week. There’s still no word on whether or not he will return to play in Miami, but given all that’s happened in that locker room, we wouldn’t be surprised to see him move to another team.
