. . SPORTS: FOOTBALL: PROFESSIONAL: BULLYS AND BULLYING: Can Jonathan Martin Sue the Miami Dolphins for Bullying? . . Can Jonathan Martin Sue the Miami Dolphins for Bullying? By Paul M. Barrett November 07, 2013 Bloomberg Business Week Companies and Industries http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2013-11-07/ can-jonathan-martin-sue-the-miami-dolphins-for-bullying . A shorter URL for the above link: . http://tinyurl.com/p3ls4or . . Jonathan Martin, a 300-pound offensive tackle for the Miami Dolphins, left the team complaining he had been subjected to racially tinged bullying by an equally hefty fellow lineman. Since this is America, we naturally ask: Does Martin have a lawsuit? . snip . It matters what other players, coaches, and executives knew and did. To mount a serious allegation of a "hostile work environment," a plaintiff typically needs to demonstrate that abuse permeates the workplace and prevents the victim from doing his job. If co-workers and managers join in the abuse or openly tolerate it, the plaintiff is much further down the road toward a meaningful claim. In contrast, a complaint that a single co-worker, no matter how obnoxious, acted in a bullying manner probably doesn't constitute a sufficient basis for a suit. . snip . It would never go to a jury anyway. If Martin sued, the Dolphins would settle. The team doesn't want to prolong the bad PR and risk fan disillusionment, let alone the wrath of Al Sharpton on MSNBC. If Martin is smart, though, he won't sue. If he wants to stay in football, he should just demand a trade and get back to business. . . The complete article may be read at the URL above. . .
