IF the allegations are true losing a 1st round pick should be included in what ever the punishment NFL will impose on the jets 

But is it right in theoretically denying a player the opportunity for gainful employment by denying the Jets a pick as punishment for ownership misdeeds?  Perhaps the pick should be awarded to some other club that exemplifies the qualities of good conduct.  I would mention a likely such club, but do not wish to invoke the ire of fellow TBD members.  ?

Ah, the jets, the tire fire burns all the brighter...

Imagine if more people reacted to the world around them like your sister did that night? Empathically. 

 

That moment was my first heartbreak, truly. I was in seventh grade. It is burned into my psyche forever. I was hurt, too, and the person I felt really bad for was myself. 

 

So cheers to your sister. (Obviously the downtown rally celebrating the season, when Norwood stepped to the mic, displayed the fans' widespread appreciation, so maybe Bills fans in general were a forgiving, graceful lot after only the first SB trauma.)

 

We certainly could use a little more empathy in general these days.

 

And while I appreciate the sentiment of your post, for the record, my sis grew up to be a raging bee word

And give it to New England for being closest team to New York and caught in the backwash.

I refuse to believe an old white guy might be sexist and racist.

Sometimes it seems that the further away from actually earning the family wealth, the more clueless subsequent generations become.  The quote about "being born on third base and thought they had hit a triple" comes to mind.

It’s often like this:  There’s the generation that grew up poor and made the money.  They have a strong work ethic and remember where they came from.  There’s the generation that watched that happen and remember being poor as children.  They usually retain much of the same ethics as their parents even though things were much easier for them as they grew up.  Then there’s the third generation that only knew wealth and privilege.  That’s usually the hard slide from a work ethic and morals standpoint and is when money gets pissed away.

 

The Chinese have a saying for that cycle: Shirt sleeves to shirt sleeves in three generations.

Wow.  I am grateful we had Ralph Wilson all those years, even with his many gaffes related to running the football side.

All the wealth is still there.....no one in that family is wearing shirtsleeves.

So is it required to be sexist AND racist to be an Ambassador, or will either one do?

Could be said for any race and gender.  It's not exclusive.
