I'm not the most political guy around, but this is ridiculous. Great way to lose fans. Great job.

I would like more context on this.

 

Would someone wearing a Harris shirt be banned because of a specific rule that is universally applied to politics?

 

Was a person banned for wearing a Trump shirt, or was a person with a Trump shirt banned for something else?

 

That being said, if it is true that the fan was singled out for a Trump shirt and no other reason, this is ridiculous and just a small snapshot of what we would have had as a country if Harris won.

There was a guy in a Trump hat in my section at the Chiefs game.  I know he was still there well into the 4th quarter.

I'm pretty sure it's just the front row as the NFL does its best to eliminate political messages because they don't want to lose half their audience if the camera were to catch it on TV.

You guys should boycott ASAP the bills message boards because of this. Don’t stand for it damit! Leave forever!

Remember when you went on to another bills message board and instead of banning you they just gave you your own thread and every post you made they mods just put it there? Good times!

And? Remember when you had a good post? No? That’s because you never did. Good times.

Good thing they don't allow political statements on helmets.....oh wait.

 

if they cared that much, give the dude a blank shirt or give him a cheap Bills shirt. But to kick someone out over a  t-shirt of the President is insane.
 

I believe the Bills/NFL are doing more harm than good on this one...just look at the comments to that video. Id much rather see a Harris-Walz or Trump-Vance shirt than having people removed for it.

Banning a person with a T shirt is okay but players all over the NFL kneeling during the National Anthem is okay ??? Not to mention Trump is the president elect .

 

Boy are the Bills actually trying to cut down on how many fans they have because the new stadium won't hold as many people, or was that security guy just pissed because he voted for Kamala ? I'd say probably the later ...

 

I'd say this should blow up on social media ...

The erosion of a free society...

Expand  

Even a free society has rules...

 

Freedom of speech never equaled freedom of zero repercussion... Sure America gives you the ability to say whatever you want 

 

But that doesn't mean there won't be repercussions... You can talk crap about your employer all you want on Facebook 

 

They can also terminate you

 

Every business has rules

Maybe true, however i'm just spit balling here....my gut tell me this doesn't happen to someone 

with an obama/kamala/hillary shirt...just a hunch.

Which is a core problem here in America.

100% according to the rules you can't wear a Hillary shirt 

 

I don't think anyone would wear one anyways

Thats apples to oranges. Wearing a shirt of the President should have zero repercussions. What's next? You wear a Tesla shirt and they call that political? Where do you draw the line?
