That is how it would be handled at any other place where a dress code infraction occurred. Just because it is a locker room doesn't mean taking somebody's property, throwing it in a shower, and embarrassing him should be a commendable action.
In terms of it being the first incident I am going by other reporters and posters mentioning that this is not the first time Kane has had his clothes destroyed, that is not liked by teammates, and that him and Byfuglien have issues going back 5 years.
I agree that the Incognito example is far more extreme and probably a bad example. I was using it as more of the case where when it was first released it was about Martin quitting on the team after one incident, and then the investigation showed it was more the result of a long term thing.

Based on reports, the Jets have had problems with Kane's attitude for quite some time. You're acting like this recent track suit incident is the first time anybody did or said anything about it.
How do you know they haven't already tried talking to him? On more than one occasion?
Like I said before. Don't make Kane a victim here. He's a victim of his own poor behaviour.
