The impassioned speech came shortly after an interview with Incognito aired on Fox Sports, where Incognito said he was “embarrassed” by his words and actions.
During the segment, Sharpe said hearing that Incognito was used racial slurs “is everything I need to know about the Miami Dolphins’ locker room.”
He continued:
“I’m 45, I grew up in rural south Georgia. Just ask your parents, ask your grandparents. The mountain that they climbed so a black person in America can have respect, can have dignity. And you allow this, in an open locker room to take place, is unacceptable. I’m so disappointed. I just hope that someone was misquoted. I hope I’m wrong and they didn’t allow Incognito to say this racially charged word in a locker room and go unchecked. I’m embarrassed. If he said that to Jonathan Martin, he didn’t only say it to him, he’s talking to you too. Because if you’re black, you know what that word means.”
