Miami Dolphins lineman Jonathan Martin and other teammates were harassed by three starters before Martin’s departure from the National Football League franchise last season, investigator Ted Wells found.
A report by Wells, co-chairman of litigation at Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP, found that three fellow members of the offensive line persistently taunted Martin, another offensive lineman and an assistant trainer with racial, sexual and homophobic slurs. Dolphins coach Joe Philbin and members of the front office were unaware of the abuse, the report found.
