When I look at the kids that got bullied growing up, it ends up becoming a vicious circle. And I think that's what Matt's saying about this situation. He certainly isn't painting Kane as a saint or an innocent victim, just suggesting that contrary to jock logic, throwing his clothes in the shower did not turn out to be a smart move. Go figure.
A smart management/leadership group would not have let things get to this point as the Jets are spiraling out of a playoff spot that seemed fairly secure just two weeks ago.

I respect your opinion on this, but i don't think this as simple as a guy being caught up in a vicious circle of being the butt of jokes or mistreatment. I believe this is a guy who is constantly spitting in the face of his teammates and coaches, and needs to get dealt with once in a while. He's lucky Big Buff didn't just kick his ass. This is most likely about a lot more than the incident we are talking about.
