In light of the recent bullying accusations against Richie Incognito from his teammate Jonathan Martin, more stories are surfacing from current and former NFL players about the controversial topic. Surprisingly a lot of players are siding with Incognito in the situation. This is most likely because they didn’t like how Martin handled the situation and brought the public eye into the NFL locker rooms.
Former WR and current ESPN analyst Keyshawn Johnson went another way about it when talking about the situation. Johnson said that he had seen a similar situation to the current one in Miami when he was a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He claims that Hall Of Famer Warren Sapp bullied young player Chidi Ahanotu back in 2000. Key says that this situation was handled a little differently though when Chidi was sick of Sapp he offered him the fade in the lunch room and Sapp backed off. More of the story is this bullying situation is probably not going away anytime soon.

“Chini Ahanotu played with me in Tampa Bay, and I used to watch Warren Sapp do some similar things to Chidi Ahanotu,” Johnson said. “Now I’m saying this on the record, and it’s going to go all over the country after I say this. I used to watch him try to bully Chidi Ahanotu, OK? Because he felt he was more superior than Chidi.”
