26CornerBlitz Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 (edited) @AnquanBoldin “Why I Quit Football for Activism" http://time.com/4997977/anquan-boldin-why-nfl-players-protest/ My life’s purpose became bigger than football in August, when I decided to walk away from the game I love — a game to which I have dedicated nearly my entire life — in order to become a champion for criminal justice reform and both racial and social equality. @AdamSchefter WR Anquan Boldin has expressed interest in playing again and Bills have given his agent permission to shop him, per letter ESPN obtained. 7:08 PM - 26 Oct 2017 Edited October 26, 2017 by 26CornerBlitz

BuffaloBill Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 Unless the Patriots call me next season.... CBF I doubt they will and if they do I doubt he goes.
26CornerBlitz Posted October 26, 2017 Author Posted October 26, 2017 Unless the Patriots call me next season.... CBF Won't matter since he's on the Bils' reserve/retired list.
Kelly the Dog Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 Unless the Patriots call me next season.... CBF You know that report was nonsense and not true, right?
JMF2006 Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 I thought it was because he got old and slow. didn't give a darn what route he was supposed to run. Or that he actually had to try and chase /tackle a defender after a ball thrown to him became an interception

Billzgobowlin Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 It's because he had Martavis Bryant's disease
klos63 Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 A 37 year old claiming that he retired for reasons other than being 37. The Bills appeared to want him on the team. Is it so hard to take someone at their word? When we signed him all we heard about what an upstanding, character guy he is, but since he wants to do something as an activist, you don't believe him? I'm sure if he was in his prime, he might not have retired, but he did now and that's all there is to it.

I'm sure if he was in his prime, he might not have retired, but he did now and that's all there is to it. I'm pretty sure the biggest issue with him by most is that he wanted to play on the Bills until all the trades and the talk of the media saying we were tanking and the subsequent Boldin saying to the Pats I'm available.

All they do is spend a little on some weekend get togethers for inner city youth and pay salaries to all the workers.
boyst Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 "...because I'm an !@#$, a quiter and a POS"
sir andrew Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 Wonder what he'll say when the Bills are 10-5 going into week 17.

First, people complain that athletes don't try to help the inner city, now they don't do enough. If he's trying , that's a good thing. He's what, 2 months into this?

A weekend flag football tournament and a fun day and a grant to a FL prep school, is not doing anything to slow down cop on black, cop on white, black on black, violence in country.

So do you seriously have a problem with Boldin retiring and doing what he is now doing? Why do you even care?

It's been around for 13 years. And not concentrated on crime, it's on underprivileged children.
