![]() | Masculinity at Work: Employment Discrimination through a Different Lens Subjects: Discrimination in employment -- Law and legislation -- United States; Masculinity -- Social aspects -- United States; Sexual harassment -- Law and legislation -- United States; Sex role in the work environment -- United States; In late October 2013, the Miami Dolphins' player Jonathan Martin walked out on his team and checked into a mental health institution. The original story implied that Martin could not take the professional pressure. Within days, the story changed. News sources reported that Martin's teammates had repeatedly bullied him and as a result, the twenty-four year-old African American player suffered serious depression. The response was skeptical, and many opined the harassment involved was simply locker room banter that all players endure; essentially, that boys will be boys. McGinley Ann C. : Ann C.
