I read through most of the texts. it’s no surprise how vulgar some of it is. Young rich athletes chasing tail and footballs. 
I see a friendship between two teammates. Most of the time the conversation is just casual banter. They argue occasionally. Martin says whats on his mind and so does Richie.
I’m not seeing bullying here at all. YMMV The conversation between these men is very consistent for almost a year.
The texts between these two men.
The Daily News has a few of the texts that shows their relationship.
I’m not seeing a villain here. The lifestyle is course and raunchy. But these two guys seemed to be friends.
