Sblite5 Posted July 4, 2020 Posted July 4, 2020 I am old enough to remember the civil rights movement of the 1960's. And the Anti-war demonstrations. I have lived half my life in America and half in Europe. You should be proud of America's right to assemble and right to demonstrate. There is no bullying. It is the free expression of ideas. Ultimately these issues will be decided at the ballot box. It is not always thus in different countries. The right to demonstrate and to vote our things we should be proud of. But we should also be proud of our majority rules while protecting minority rights. Let's think how normal it was when we were children, if you are my age, to hear racist "jokes." Think about the evidence of the denial of ordinary rights to our black citizens. In the south, extra-judicial lynchings accounted for the deaths of 3500 black people. Mobs, taking black people, dragging them to a tree and hanging them. Now stop for a moment. Sure things have improved, but shouldn't we, as Americans, be proud, that our dynamic nation continues to try and improve, to accord still great equality to all colors, races and creeds? Sure, there will be overreach, and we will see things we are used to, change. But that change, constantly for the better, is why I am a proud American. As I know you are too. Please, our dear Bills give us so much joy (and heartache), let us share their journey together, as we Americans will share the journey of our nation. But let us brace for vigorous debate and respectfully agree and disagree, but understand that debate, demonstrates, expressions of frustration, even rage, are essential to our great democracy. We are in this together. Lets reason together and arrive at a better place together. No one will be right all the time; but the important is thing is we try to be better. I hope to see you at a Bills game. When we are in the Super Bowl this next year, I hope we are the team that becomes emblematic of our brave new nation, just, free and renewed. Buffalo is the heart of America and the REAL America's team. God's blessing on you. 5
KollegeStudnet Posted July 4, 2020 Posted July 4, 2020 Have fun. See you when you post random things tomorrow and the next day 2

Laughably I am a “Minority” and the reason why it’s laughable is that one’s voice should be based on the truth of the statement and not on the basis of skin color. As a Native American I do not find the Buffalo Bills name offensive and while our history may have had moments of embarrassment we are stronger when we look for the truth of why our country is as great as it is and why people of all races and creeds wish to come here. I support black lives, rights and families but anything in support of the Black Lives Matter movement is an insult to families, black or whatever race, who built this game and passed it on to their children with their mission statement to abolish the nuclear family and support for Marxist ideology. If you think that you can escape the consequences of believing that everything is to be criticized and nothing loved and than trust me eventually everything will be persecuted including you. The powers of the league and society in general know that they can abuse after you because you are the hard-working and you are the people most responsible for your own personal actions and love your downtime so they think that they can bully you to accept getting kicked. Whether you plan on watching this year or not let the NFL know how displeased you are. This is how they get to bully you. They use the threats of complaining which as responsible adults we see as childish and adolescent but we forget these people hate us and they hate our families and don’t ever underestimate wicked people. The cheap insults I expect from petty people shouldn’t bother you. They just know that you are a good person they can use insults whereas you find them to be morally reprehensible. Never let weak bullies corner you. Fight back now. It is our Independence. God bless America Playing a song before empty stadiums in week 1 really hit a nerve, eh? 4 2 1

As a white man and as a man who is capable of critical thinking, I support the league in its desire to recognize that black people in this country have suffered for far too long. I do not support riots or destruction of property, and these many times are being done by opportunists who take advantage of the protests. I agree one’s voice should be separate from color. But unfortunately that has not been the case for far too long and it ‘s time for that to end. “As a white man”, do you feel good about having to qualify your existence? 3 2

Laughing Coffin Posted July 4, 2020 Posted July 4, 2020 Was the NFL not deciding to promote a political agenda when they were being paid for decades by the US Gov't to honor vets and do plane flyovers? NFL has ALWAYS been the political hand of the sports world 2 6 3

Rc2catch Posted July 4, 2020 Posted July 4, 2020 (edited) You can watch games without the side stuff. What reason do you have to watch the national anthem(s)? What reason to listen and watch sports radio/shows? Just watch the game. Leave the politics and movements and all that out of it. It’s 2020, and in the offended states of America you have two options. Cry and whine about things you don’t like or to live your life and enjoy your family and ignore the things you don’t agree with. You can also quit watching and posting, you don’t need to announce you’re done and leaving. Certainly don’t need to ask others to join lol.. Edited July 4, 2020 by Rc2catch 6

KCNC Posted July 4, 2020 Posted July 4, 2020 There will be many more like him. Good luck to you BigBillsFan. I wish all companies would stay out of politics but alas they cannot help themselves. 1 1
Augie Posted July 4, 2020 Posted July 4, 2020 (edited) I too am sick of the politics, and I’m not watching any more NFL football!!! Until, of course, they start playing......which can’t come soon enough! P.S. - The Patriots avatar is a nice touch. Good idea for you to use this excuse for jumping ship.....the Cheaters* look to have some rough waters ahead. . Edited July 4, 2020 by Augie 1 5 1 1
