TheFunPolice Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 My vote is on the side with guns. And while we're at each other's throats and hurting our neighbors, families and friends who wins? We have real enemies who would love to see ya destroy ourselves.
H2o Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 Typical of these days. Piss and moan about something, but then criticize someone doing the same thing only on the opposite end of the spectrum.
platterman Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 Hmm let's see, a HOF QB or a DE who can't control himself with stupid penalties. Hey Jerry, he can say what he wants, he's earned the right. Right or wrong for what he said (I think Jim was right) he will be loved long after you are gone.
Lurker Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 with the guns or more guns? Or the ability to use said guns? I'll stick with lawyers and money for now...
BadLandsMeanie Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 To Jerry: Jimbo and the old Bills are around to give the team an identity connection with the glory years. It lets the team talk about tradition and heritage and gives them something to sell to the fans. Without that that all they have is your time here, during which the team has blown. My guess is that they figure "Come See The Bills, Blowing for 17 years!" won't do as well in the marketing efforts. And testing showed that "Bellichick's Best Bitches" didn't capture that imagination either. So that would be why. Now ya know. As for Jimbo doing what he did. He has always been that way. That's part of what makes him Jimbo. You are free to go !@#$ yourself if you don't like it. Thanks Go Bills.
The Wiz Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 (edited) The real issue to me is the inability of so many to accept or respect any point of view that us contrary to their own. Look at some of these comments on both sides, so filled with hate and rage. Where does all this end? When the other side is the enemy we are all in big trouble and we ALL lose. It doesn't end, ever. You are wrong and I am right. That is most peoples mentality. How often have you not been let in to a lane or not let someone into a lane while driving based on the principle of "I WAS HERE FIRST". That's what we have become. I'm better so my opinion matters more and I'm not gonna let you get in front of me while driving because it will hurt my ego if I let someone get ahead of me.

TheFunPolice Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 (edited) Now we're supposed to choose between a beloved HOF player and the current team. Why do we all have to pick sides and disparage the other? So now Jim Kelly is a dumb loser or Hughes and Thurman and Shady need to shut up and suck anyway... I mean really... WTF Edited September 26, 2017 by TheFunPolice

eball Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 get what? Tell me your great stance. It is part of the NFL rules that players stand for the National Anthem. It's NFL policy and a bunch of little bitches decided they'd break the rules to protest. Trump was right! Fire them. If my job told me to come in wearing a suit and tie and I walked into the office in my boxer shorts protesting some stupid thing Trump said, they would send me home, dock my pay and fine me. What gives these athletes the right to violate the corporate policy that has been in action for 40+ years. LOL! Keep smoking whatever you are smoking, man...must be good stuff.

Kirby Jackson Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 Because football matters to people and they like to think they would like the players as people. Probably not reality but it's how they feel. Most aren't just cheering for laundry just yet. It's why the 2nd RB or a third WR gets a 100 page thread. Sports was always the one thing that pulled everyone together. Everyone stood before the game for the anthem. Everyone was cheering for the Bills regardless of your race, background or political views. It was the place where you gathered with a common goal and never cared to know enough about the people around you or on the field to know if you'd think they were A-holes in real life. It was best left unsaid. Now it's all out there and it's tough to pull for guys that you despise, no matter what jersey they have on.I think that's fair. At the same time it doesn't mean that the guys were different. We just didn't know. If we didn't know Hernandez killed people, he still killed people. We aren't even talking about killing or domestic violence. We are talking about inequality. The ad part is that the message overshadowed.
TheFunPolice Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 (edited) It went political so someone is wrong, obviously.It's just sad. I will protest by loving the legends and current team and not attacking either one. The fat psycho dictator in North Korea who has executed several members of his own family and has nukes is a real enemy. The man killed his uncle's entire family.

HuSeYiN_NYC Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 Hey, I understand Jim is a HOFer and obviously highly respected in Buffalo but I can agree with how Hughes commented. Hughes is a BALLER. He's being held on almost every single play. If refs paid attention to Hughes and his matchup, there would be a holding call on each drive for the opposing offense. Jim is not out there fighting to get a W for us. Hughes is. To criticize and say you lost respect for McCoy (Hughes' teammate/brother), should and would make Hughes take it as a personal attack. Could Hughes have worded it better? Maybe. But I appreciate Hughes feeling a certain way of someone attacking his teammate. McCoy may have lost Jimbos respect, but Hughes has gained mine.

How dare you interject logic and reason into this political debate that has nothing to do with the topic being discussed...... oh wait.....
Gugny Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 do not tell me what to do do not state falsehoods. deal?
yungmack Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 Dude??? Seriously??? Why would you even bring it up??? OMG!!!! Now I don't know how I feel about...... life. :sarcasm: Also, TY for you're service but would you lock arms, kneel or hand on heart? Which ever one is least likely to result in spilling my overpriced beer. I think sitting, with both hands on the cup is the best choice.

It's not sad that the message is overshadowed but it's somewhat predictable . It goes back to that old saying about politics and religion. The anthem moment was chosen for a reason but that is also not going to sit well with some people regardless of the message. The NFL screwed up by allowing political protests in the workplace. They certainly didn't have to. The political climate has a lot to do with the reaction as well. They'd really be best served as a business by staying out of it and ending this in one of a couple ways. They have enough of an image problem for other reasons right now.

Super great post I've been saying this on most of my posts. it makes no sense from a business sense to piss of millions of customers
