Yannick Ngakoue Accuses Bills' Richie Incognito of Using Racial Slurs

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Yannick Ngakoue accused Buffalo Bills offensive lineman Richie Incognito of using racial slurs during the Jaguars' 10-3 playoff victory Sunday.

Ngakoue said on Twitter that a Bills player wearing No. 64 was "goin[g] to come harder than some weak racist slurs."

Ngakoue ended his tweet with the hashtag #Iaintjonathanmartin!



Ngakoue could not be reached for comment. The Bills and Incognito's agent, David Dunn, did not immediately respond to a request for comment Sunday evening.

Bills lineman Dion Dawkins tweeted in support of Incognito.



Incognito, 34, has made the Pro Bowl each of his three seasons since signing with the Bills in 2015. Buffalo gave Incognito a second chance in the NFL after the Miami Dolphins suspended him for the final eight games of the 2013 season for his role in a bullying scandal in which ex-offensive lineman Jonathan Martin was a target.

NFL investigator Ted Wells released a report in 2014 detailing "a pattern of harassment" against Martin by Incognito and other Dolphins players that included racial slurs. Incognito's attorney later called the report "replete with errors."

The NFL cleared Incognito later in 2014 to return to football, but he spent that season out of the league before joining Buffalo the next year.
 
Colin Kaepernick’s Lawyer To Move Forward In Legal Proceedings In Right-To-Work Suit

The NFL is reportedly expected to hand over documents to Colin Kaepernick, who has filed a lawsuit against the league demanding his right to work. Kaepernick filed a grievance last October under the latest collective bargaining agreement against NFL owners for collusion. The free agent claimed that the league blackballed him following his #TakeAKnee protest against racial injustice in America. In the suit, his attorney, Mark Geragos, demands an arbitration hearing and argues that the NFL and its owners “have colluded to deprive Mr. Kaepernick of employment rights in retaliation for Mr. Kaepernick’s leadership and advocacy for equality and social justice and his bringing awareness to peculiar institutions still undermining racial equality in the United States.” It continues, “Protecting all athletes from such collusive conduct is what compelled Mr. Kaepernick to file his grievance. Colin Kaepernick’s goal has always been, and remains, to simply be treated fairly by the league he performed at the highest level for and to return to the football playing field.”

Even though many NFL fans, and even some players, agree that Kaepernick has been targeted due to his activism, legal experts, however, say proving collusion by NFL owners will be tough, despite the fact that Kaepernick remains unsigned. According to Georgetown law professor Brad Snyder, he must establish that the agreement was violated and that there is substantial evidence of collusion between the teams, which is not easy. “It’s very possible that all the teams came to this same conclusion that, ‘We don’t want to hire this guy.’ That’s not illegal,” he told Axios.

Still, Geragos maintains that the case is winnable based on the law. According to him, he needs only an implied agreement for at least one team. “We are confident that at a minimum we will be able to prove that the [Collective Bargaining Agreement] impliedly was violated by circumstantial evidence. We expect that direct and express evidence exists as well.”
