Ian Rappoport went into detail last night on the cafeteria report. What he learned was the group of players invited him to come sit at the table and when he did they all got up in unison and walked out. I have my suspicions of why this guy is not part of the "group" but if he's been treated like this for 2 years, as a decent human, I feel bad for him. Grown man or not, each person is different and each has their own emotional threshold of what they can handle. It doesn't make him less of a man in my eyes.
If he can't handle something as minor as that, then I don't think he even qualifies as a man yet. Just a crybaby.
If this was an isolated incident, sure. But if this type of stuff has been going on for 2 years...
I worked in a hostile environment early in my career. The problem was the idiot causing the problems was the owner. He'd berate you and cuss you in front of the office. But he didn't discriminate. We all got it. Safe to say I got out.
BB, I don't think that's it. I lean more toward his different upbringing. Both his parents are Harvard educated lawyers so I am sure there is a fair amount of jealousy among his teammates for his "perceived privileged background". Of course he is going to get some extra ribbing from his teammates. But I bet his parents have told him that just isn't fair and he shouldn't have to put up with it and he could sue for hostile workplace or the like. The wussification of America continues ...
I worked in one as well while in school. The day I quit I went to his office and told him what I thought of him and what he could go do to himself. I said this in front of customers.
