Boatdrinks Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 (edited) I'm sure the Trump circlejerk forum will happily explain why a picture depicting a black man with a crosshair across his chest is not racist Well, CK happens to be black. What if he were white, would that be racist too? The shirts depict CK because of a different reason than his race. That is obvious. Edited August 28, 2017 by Boatdrinks
DC Tom Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 No, I would not. Because he's black. Now go feel validated.
Southern Bills Fan Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 No way. Some things are bigger than football.
Spurna Posted August 28, 2017 Author Posted August 28, 2017 Well, CK happens to be black. What if he were white, would that be racist too? The shirts depict CK because of a different reason than his race. That is obvious. What is he protesting?
Dorkington Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 I would. But there's no way Buffalo as a city would go for it. Also, he's much too expensive as a stop gap, when we have one in Taylor already.
boyst Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 No, I would not. Because he's black. Now go feel validated. win
leonbus23 Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 (edited) OP, please don't ask. I hate for my home town football fans to show that side of its character. Let's stick to sharing our love for the same football team. Edited August 28, 2017 by leonbus23
boyst Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 What is he protesting? who cares Also, he's much too expensive as a stop gap, when we have one in Taylor already. that's the biggest factor in this. for even just $1mm i'd not do it. not for 1 week. I'd give $500k
Boatdrinks Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 (edited) What is he protesting? I'm not sure exactly what he was protesting by not rising to honor America during the playing of the anthem like everyone else. But he's as much of an idiot as the guy sitting down while he scarfs Nachos with his hat on in row 5. Is that guy " protesting" too? No he's just an idiot. Edited August 28, 2017 by Boatdrinks
Saint Doug Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 What is he protesting? By not standing for the National Anthem, I think he must be protesting the United States of America, right?
Rico Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 If TT was out for a long time, absolutely. And anyways, I've said it before and I'll say it again: this board is always better when people are pissed.
NoSaint Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 who cares that's the biggest factor in this. for even just $1mm i'd not do it. not for 1 week. I'd give $500k What's the 1 week angle?
Boatdrinks Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 By not standing for the National Anthem, I think he must be protesting the United States of America, right? Perhaps. Maybe he should go elsewhere if he thinks it's so bad here, in a Country where he can make millions to play a game.
keepthefaith Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 Right now the Bills QB's might be better than the WR's. I still feel that with a decent receiver group TT would have a good season. Maybe there will still be a WR upgrade before opening day.
KellyToughII Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 I don't care if they call us racist or not I don't want his ass on this team. Is kneeling down and essentially pissing on the national anthem is pure bull crap if people don't like my opinion on it I don't really give a damn

But I'm right there with you man. I love how football can bring a community together.
zonabb Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 I'm as patriotic as the next guy, both grandparents served and survived with valor and honor in WWII. The flag and the anthem are emotional symbols of an unrealized ideal society where equality, opportunity and equity and realized by all. If we as a country believe the symbol is more important than the practice, we're emotional fools, lacking the ability to question when the ideal is not achieved. It is inarguable that the flag and anthem are conflated with law enforcement, that somehow what law enforcement does is uphold the unrealized ideals the flag symbolized, not guarantees. I don't and never will fly the flag on my house, and neither did my grandfathers who saw the country and imperfect despite serving. I don't blindly support law enforcement or the military. Our country, believe it or not, was founded on the belief that blind loyalty to the ruling class and their support structure (law enforcement, military, policy) only continued to marginalize and exploit everyone else and was not equitable nor democratic. So why do we worship slaves owners for their rebellion against jolly old England and refusal to recognize the flag but for Kaepernick, we're hypocritical and don't understand his message? I'd take Kaepernick of the tire fire that is TT right now. He's better than every back up in this league and at least 30% or more of the starters. Is he a pro bowler? Nope. But he's better than the ENTIRE QB lineup right now in Bflo, Cleveland, Jax, SF, NYJ, Den, Chi, and LAR. He'd give the starters in Balt, Miami, KC, Cinci, Hou a legit challenge. What else would expect from a league full of old white owners?
Marv's Neighbor Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 Didn't we already consider Michael Vick? Is there no end to our desperate insanity?
