Dear Ken, 11/13/13

          My personal view is that bullying is bullying- in the office, the school, or even the supermarket- if you harass someone, it is harassment. I think Richie Incognito was using his excuse as a scapegoat. Bullying can be brushed off as jokes, but if the bullied is actually offended, then is it still a joke? There is no way to put a physical line on what is "bullying" and what is "kidding". The locker room may indeed have their own culture, but we would hope that they follow the same norms that we share in our everyday culture. I do not think bullying varies between office to school locker rooms (harassment is harassment)- I do believe there are more important things going in our world today, and Incognito should not be as publicized and famous as he has been.
