IndyMark Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 Every time an orange outfit was visible in the stands and the camera's zoomed in, it was great to see.......Steve Atwaters old jersey or Elway's #7 . Seriously, I am glad that stupid idea was embraced by almost noone following it. Save of course for the Moulds fellating fan club I hope these "protests" wither away. What stupidity on several levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeF Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 I watched the game with a traffic cone on my head in silent support.... Just watch how the Cincy crowd grabs on to this next week. I predict they will be all for getting rid of TD... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Coli Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Pathetic. In my day, protests ended violently with tear gas, burning cars, looting, and the dead registering in the hundreds. Orange shirts? Kids today are so damn apathetic. They should have stormed TD's box, dragged him into the middle of the field, shaved him naked, oiled him up and, uh....well, you get what I'm saying. That's a protest. Orange shirts? bah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiew Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 I hope these "protests" wither away. What stupidity on several levels. How many levels? Seriously though. I respectfully disagree with you. Why would you judge someone's desire to protest as "stupid". Just because you dont agree with it, doesn't make it "stupid". Aren't our boys dying in a war fighting for "democracy and freedom"? Are we not free to protest something in a way that is not harmful, cruel or unsafe? Seems to me that wearing something orange to make a quiet, non hostile statement is more classy than people at the game chanting and booing or yelling "!@#$ Donahoe/Mularky" in front of children. I think the idea had merit. It just lacked pre-planning and should have been communicated a lot sooner and included the press. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfanone Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Yeah, Orange really wasn't a good color since they were playing the Broncos. Other than the Broncos fans, I saw maybe 3 or 4 hunting jackets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The media has been too busy covering the "Fire Millen" movement to notice the Bills fans and our complaints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My comments were clearly and solely related to a GAME. A football game. A Buffalo Bills football game. Whatever logic or secondary justification about protests overall you hold, are questionable in this thread. That said... You are free to protest any way you want as I am EQUALLY allowed to voice my comments on a 'protest' at a game. And let me repeat, as evidenced by the 58,000 or whatever amount of people at the game the 'orange' protest failed and in my opinion it was/is stupid to protest at a GAME. I appreciate your respectful disagreement as I also respectfully disagree that somehow protesting at a game can be grounded in a larger social context. A game is a game and life is life. Two different levels of significance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
