Targeted, but Not a Victim.

That's a survivor, in my book. Let's hope Miami Dolphins offensive lineman Jonathan Martin can lick his wounds to healing, and return to the team.

Martin's high school coach wasn't surprised that Martin was targeted. "Bullies usually go after people like him," Harvard-Westlake School coach Vic Eumont told the Palm Beach Post's Andrew Abramson.

"With his background, he's a perfect target. ... Before, [Martin] wasn't around Nebraska, LSU kind of guys. He's always been around Stanford, Duke, Rice kind of players."
...
"In locker rooms full of Nebraska, LSU, Southern Cal players, Miami players, they'll look at this as a weakness. If he makes it through all this, and if he was encouraged to come back, he'd come back with a vengeance."
