It is a serious conundrum to be sure, I would be of the opinion that if an employee is doing harm to their co- workers well being or their employer who is in turn doing no harm to others in their business dealings then that hypothetical person is the problem, and should be let go, but on the other hand if said person does their protesting away from work, and even if their employer dislikes it, that person should not be punished for exercising their rights, again if they do their job well. Having been the manager of a small business for many years I understand your point. You are correct that it is the large corporations that are the ones most likely to abuse others through their business dealings, this is where greed and power abuses show there ugly heads most frequently. That is where regulation of capitalism is most appropriate and needed. I have no problem with folk creating and having wealth, I do however have a problem with those individuals or entities that allow greed and power lust to purposefully restrict others from that opportunity. Being a good neighbor as an individual or business is a necessity if one holds having a great society as a priority, which I do. I truly understand that perfect is not gonna happen, but doing ones best to not be part of the problem is alway desirable.

I Appreciate your sentiments, and I thank you, it was a privilege to serve my country. The owners of our country, yes us citizens, in effect have no constitutional rights if government or business entities can thwart them when ever they feel inclined. The playing field is not level. Capitalism brings many rewards, and is mostly a good thing, but greed and power (capitalism’s twin evils) need to be properly regulated for the common good of everyone. Presently the greed and power aspects are out of hand, and those two things are the root cause of our current social unrest.

League Commissioners to discuss sports return 6/15 ESPN
Don Otreply replied to Mr Info's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Chuckle all you want, but millions of Americans play and watch soccer. Its a truly internationally played game, unlike our Americanized rugby, not that our version of rugby isn’t pretty damn cool ?. -
It would appear JJ Watt and others have a mature understanding of what constitutional rights mean, and that protesting injustice and blatant racism during the national anthem is what Americans call standing up for the true ideals of America. Those that would try to twist doing so into an affront to our brave and honored service members current and former are perpetuating a known falsehood and acting in an UN AMERICAN way, and should give considered thought as to why they would purposefully continue to push this falsehood, that can only further divided our country. As a former United States Marine I find this abhorrent self serving behavior reprehensible. Nations unfriendly to our Democratic Republic use this thinking to drive a wedge into the very social fabric of our Great and honorable Nation, it must stop. Semper FI America!!!

Feel? How about the truth of the matter? American citizens exercising their constitutional rights is not and never has been an insult to we who served. Again, the flag does not and never has represented the military, the flag represents the constitution and the social values of our country, that in turn the military is sworn to and oath bound to protect, end of story. Your or my feelings do not come into play on this. That you “feel” otherwise is unfortunate and bears introspection on your behalf. Nothin but luv, and thank you for your service to our great country. Semper FI.

I’m one of those people who served, (USMC) and it is not a slap in the face, the flag does not represent the military, it represents the constitution and the social values of our country, that in turn the military is sworn to protect. Any one who thinks otherwise is willfully ignorant. This I had been a straw man argument/red herring from the very get go. Go Bills!!!

Good on him, I truly hope the entire league kneels every game, Semper FI America, exercise your constitutional rights every damn day! Go Bills!!!

Its gonna be problems... there’s gonna be a lot of business decisions going on, ? Go Bills!!!

To me, the cops that quit there jobs in defense of those that in effect beat up an old guy and left him bleeding from his head on the pavement are not worthy of the trust of the population they are employed by and are supposedly there to serve and protect. They are punks, and should be publicly shamed by the people of Buffalo. The police are not there to enforce the laws, that’s the court systems job, the police are there to apprehend criminals, not beat them up or kill them.

Josh Allen and the Check Down Pass

That’s my QB! Go Bills!!! -
As much love as the Bills have been getting as of late, they still get poo pooed with these sort of comparisons within the division, the old Bills reputation still lingers in the minds of many football fans, and prognosticators. After we win the division those lingering thoughts will dissipate all the more. Go Bills!!!

Is now the time to remove OJ Simpson from the wall of fame and HOF?
Don Otreply replied to Beast's topic in The Stadium Wall
Not that I have noticed, never heard him say a word about Buffalo that I can remember... but hell my memory is starting it’s 62nd year, there’s lots stuff in there that doesn’t need to be recalled... -
Is now the time to remove OJ Simpson from the wall of fame and HOF?
Don Otreply replied to Beast's topic in The Stadium Wall
It is a bit of a conundrum actually, Before OJ went insane, he was a hall of fame running back, he retired, did some rental car company commercials, etc, then he went bat sh-t crazy and murdered his ex wife and her lover/ partner, then he cleverly got away with it and did other crazy azs sh-t, so there you have it, arguments have been made on behalf of both camps on every Bills board that has ever existed. I agree with the guy, “Steve believe” above this post. I think the Football hall of fame should do something similar as well... OJ is after all the poster child of weak men getting away with domestic abuse violence, an on going theme in our country... Go Bills!!! -
Politics in Football, Sports in General
Don Otreply replied to OutOfBubbleGum's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Switzerland was not even remotely neutral, they were Hitlers bankers, they hid stolen cash, Art, etc etc. for Germany, laundered money so Germany could still purchase what they needed during the war. They were guilty as hell during and after the war years purposefully hiding the ill gotten gains of a multitude of German officials. Thought you might want to know... It is impossible to keep social justice issues out of any part of our lives, football players and team employees are not robots, they are humans with all that comes with that, Go Bills!!!
