All good, and while I agree with you about "hanging" something representing a black guy as if he is being "hung" is over the line...this is not what this was at all. He was suspended in the air, not hung like a noose, much like a pinata would be. There is a massive difference and this was an example of the public and media making it mean something it doesn't. 1 4 2 1 Quote

Fair. Not a noose, not a hanging PS I could totes get into treating Mahomes like a pinata, using Bills defenders as sticks. Edited November 21 by Beck Water 1 Quote

If you build something on a construction site while drinking, you're an idiot. And this joke narrative about "I'm old and I'll do what I want to do" is also lazy and idiotic. In life no matter what age you are, you have certain moral & ethical societal responsibilities. Yelling at clouds and kicking guys off your lawn don't fly anymore. Remind me not to walk into a @Sweats building. Well, I mean, if it's his lawn, it's Sweats private property. If he wants to yell at clouds and kick trespassers off his lawn, that is his right. Quote

Now multiple outlets are posting what a terrible disturbing act that was. Granted, most everyone reading this on this forum is a Bills fan but are others bothered by this? I see it as fans being fans and it’s not a big deal. Agree or disagree? People can be overly sensitive. But generally hanging “someone” is a pretty garbage look. A million more creative ways to talk trash than that. 4 minutes ago, Alphadawg7 said: All good, and while I agree with you about "hanging" something representing a black guy as if he is being "hung" is over the line...this is not what this was at all.

There's actually a big hullaballoo in our local neighborhood groups right now, because the nearest Walmart has taken out the self-serve checkouts (due to excessive losses from theft) and not replaced them with (enough) live checkers. So the lines get hella long and inconvenient. I'm just Quote

HereComesTheReignAgain Posted November 21 Posted November 21 If they were holding Kermit Mahomes up with a climbing harness or bungee cord harness would it still be wrong? Maybe clip the rope to a belt around his waist? Do you avoid controversy by completely avoiding a rope around a neck? Quote

Success Posted November 21 Posted November 21 This was terrible optics - but man, it's just one fan. The reaction from KC is so over the top in generalizing about the fanbase - they see this, and it's immediately "Bills fans are trash!" I guess all fanbases do that to an extent, but it doesn't make it any less ridiculous. Quote
