‘”Their name should no longer be on the stadium if they’re going to continue to layoff our employees and say ‘sorry.’,” Poloncarz said. “I’d rather see a stadium called Veterans Stadium than New Era. I won’t even use that name. I still call it Ralph Wilson Stadium. I’m a little disappointed in the way New Era has treated our community. That company would not exist without the hard work of the people of this community.”‘

Bills’ Stefon Diggs apprehensive about NFL season: ‘I’d be lying if I said I was comfortable’
‘“… the NFL is unwilling to prioritize player safety and believes that the virus will bend to football,” he wrote. “We will continue to hold the NFL accountable and demand that the league use data, science and the recommendations of its own medical experts to make decisions. It has been clear for months that we need to find a way to fit football inside the world of coronavirus. Making decisions outside that lens is both dangerous and irresponsible.”’
Stefon Diggs uneasy about season amid COVID-19: ‘I’d be lying if I said I was comfortable starting back up’
‘The lack of in-person minicamp and altered training camps will unquestionably be harder for rookies and veterans joining a new club like Diggs is with the Bills. Buffalo acquired the star receiver in mid-March, sending a number of draft picks — including their 2020 first-rounder (Justin Jefferson) — to Minnesota. Not having a typical offseason will likely create a new set of challenges as Diggs tries to mesh with his new team, but when factoring in the pandemic, that’s likely the least of his worries at the moment.’
