Their say Incognito might not be the only lineman involved.. What if there was 3 or 4 others starting lineman involve.. U cut everybody?

Clearly, with eight games remaining in the regular season and the offensive line problems that the Dolphins have already been dealing with, cutting everyone isn’t a sensible option. So, then, how will the team (or the league) handle such a situation, if that comes to pass?
For now, one can only guess.
Almost ironically, Incognito was previously featured in a Dolphins PSA detailing the acceptable code of conduct for fans in the stadium.
While the inability to protect one of their own from such egregious acts of harassment falls squarely on the leadership in the Dolphins organization, it truly calls into question the subculture of a sport that is known and revered for its aggressive and violent nature.
I’m not suggesting that harassment doesn’t occur in the NBA; that is something that I do not know. However, it would likely be much harder for it to go on without notice. NBA rosters are much smaller (15 players as opposed to 53) and the players are much more visible.
Despite the recent issues surrounding the Miami Dolphins and lineman Richie Incognito, the Atlanta Hawks recently put together a fan conduct PSA of their own, which parodies the popular R&B song, “Blurred Lines” by Robin Thicke.
While the Hawks have fun with the video and its conceptualization, conduct — both public and private — is an all too real and serious issue that we all, as humans coexisting with one another, should be aware and cognizant of.
