C.Biscuit97 Posted January 14, 2018 Posted January 14, 2018 Also, not shocking there are Bills fans who don't care that a guy who said a bunch of racist stuff in the past might have done it again. I thought all the racist losers from the WNY area died off but apparently they are still around. i give RI a ton of credit for what he has been since coming to the Bills. I didn't like the guy but he has shown maturity and growth. But if he said something, he should be cut. It will be like Chip Kelly keeping Riley Cooper.

The media can !@#$ off with this nonsense. I mean, a simple - “yea, that didn’t happen” tweet would carry some weight compared to nothing at all There’s a good chance he said something dumb, and that it’s embarrassing but not the end of the world. No need to circle the wagons around him, or to stone him in the town square at this point. I’m sure he will get asked directly at some point and we will see the reaction.
Johnny Hammersticks Posted January 14, 2018 Posted January 14, 2018 Show me proof, or even have another JAX player corraborate the story and I will give half a **** about this. Until then...innocent until proven guilty. 5

BadLandsMeanie Posted January 14, 2018 Posted January 14, 2018 (edited) I picture Jerry Sullivan as : Divorced. Alcoholic. He sinks very low in his insults and remarks that the Buffalo News has published regularly to their great shame. He shouldn't be moralizing on how people should behave. Somebody not making a public response to remarks such as were made here is actually way more common that someone stepping to the microphone to deny it. In fact it is standard operating procedure. But to that gang of idiots it is "deafening". There were cameras and microphones everywhere and if something was aid it is near certain it is on tape. How about we just wait until the findings are in and not say instead that Richie did something 4 years ago so that means he is guilty now of this. My God I just hate how stupid TBN is and also some of their audience. Edited January 14, 2018 by BadLandsMeanie

I suppose that makes me racist because I don't care what insults grown men hurled at one another on a football field. Whether it was disparaging to ones race or their mother's reputation I don't care at all. Nut up and play the next down. It's a sad commentary on where this society is and where it's headed that this is even a topic. Ever hear an insult regarding your particular racial background or country of origin? So what? Lots of stuff gets said on a football field with the sole purpose of getting an opponent " off their game" . It's ridiculous that there is any concern over this at all. Teammates have said publicly that the dreaded " N bomb" wasn't used. Regardless, their should be no action taken by any involved parties over this. 3

oldmanfan Posted January 14, 2018 Posted January 14, 2018 Let them figure it out then take any appropriate action. The guy playing right next to him said he heard nothing.

3rdnlng Posted January 14, 2018 Posted January 14, 2018 No 2 snowflakes are the same. We've a lot of different snowflakes here. Those of you that are trying to make this political should know that politics don't belong here. If you want to discuss politics you should take your comments to the place where these kinds of discussions are welcome.

Incog is not a society leader. He's a guard on a football team who probably called one of the dudes on the other team the n word because they called him a cracker. How's that not justified? How's that a non story? Look, I'm not saying this is good behavior, it's not. What I'm saying is the only way to stop this form of racism is to not let the words bother you. Humans will always label other humans. By using actions to show we are the same or better we combat this type of behavior, not crying wolf. And calling someone a name during a competition is not racisit in my book, it's trash talk. In a sport that African Americans are the majority, incog is not keeping anyone away from prospering. JMO flame away. 1

Assumed people don't care because they'd like to see proof first. Assume he did it because he did in the past. Disparaged Buffalo for still being a racist City - how could he verify whoever he's thinking is racist, still lives in Buffalo? I give him credit, I don't like him, if he did something here's how I want him punished. Yeah, you're right. Just beautiful, poetic words.

KingRex Posted January 14, 2018 Author Posted January 14, 2018 24 minutes ago, 3rdnlng said: He never played for Green Bay. My apologies. Though I do remember correctly that Incog rained taped racial disparities on a young teammate. I did forget it was the Rams Incog played for when he was on videotape making dirty plays (leg whips on defenseless opponents). If Incog is gonna make millions from being a public figure in an entertainment medium, he reasonably takes on the burden of not being an idiot. If he has already demonstrated he is an idiot and a bad teammate it does not strike me that he should leave a void in defending himself IF he is innocent. Richie made his bed, now he has to sleep in it.

Why should that be what happens on the field though? At what age do we start telling players to throw out the most offensive comments they can think of in order to upset opponents? It’s a lame element of football culture. im not even arguing about incognito in this response —but a guy shouldn’t have to take being called a racial slur at work and a kid sure as hell shouldn’t playing at school. Whether or not incognito said anything, it’d be nice to come here and see “I don’t know if he did but I hope he didn’t because it’s wrong if he did” Edited January 14, 2018 by NoSaint

That's an idiotic take on what was said. If certain countries are " sh** holes" is that due to the race of the people running them? Or just their political incompetence and mistakes? It's wonderful how you infer it is due to their race. And that you infer " good norms" will come from Norway. What was asked was " why do we need more ...." why not more from Norway? I've yet to hear a good answer. Why do we? Haiti is a cesspool, yet Barbados is wonderful. They are both West Indian countries where most are of African descent. Nice job of projecting your own inherent bias onto others comments. Football is a tough game played by ( mostly) tough people. Incognito was trying to toughen up a very soft teammate that ended up retiring from the game after just a couple seasons. His approach may have been questionable , but he paid a big price and it's done with. This stuff is about the most pu$$ified thing I've ever heard come out of a football game and is a non issue. 2 1
