    A lot of people came out.

     

    Many were paid to be there.

     

    Many protesters when asked why they were there couldn't articulate their reasons.

     

    The premise of the entire protest called "No Kings" is ludicrous and will be remembered as such.  The fat costume video merely encapsulates the whole sad debacle.

     

    Hearts and minds changed on either side?  Zero point zero.

     

    The no kings election was held last November.  We will have another in 3.5 years.  If you can stop letting TDS rage consume you then I believe that you'll make it there just fine!

     

     

     

    A homicide in Salt Lake City.  Seattle federal building under siege.  A dude in Minnesota hunting down and shooting politicians in their homes.  Mostly peaceful.

    I agree, nothing changed. Media will just hype the N.Ks like they tried to with Kamala

  2. What did the "no kings" protests actually accomplish? Like are there really people on the fence that they were convinced to side with the left after the protests?

     

    Other then the left trying to take a victory lap for this protest, what did it accomplish? To me, it seems like it was more of rally for the far left. Again, what was accomplished?

    Cool. In a week or so,  MAGAs have lost the Muslim vote( bye bye Michigan) and half the Catholic vote ( those who actually believe  in “love one another “. Tough way to get there but it’s a long term win. 

    How?

    Gotcha, thanks for explaining. 

     

    The bottom line is, as a parent you have to walk the talk.

    There's no point in bothering if you turn into a monster and scare the hell out of her.   It's got to be enjoyable and positive for you both, so how do you refocus and do that? 

     

    All I could offer is this perspective:

    I badly want to win a Superbowl but the 90's taught me the journey and entire story is more fun.  After the third loss the national mockery or pity parties took hold and I realized how much more gratifying and privileged it was to watch those teams absolutely light it up in elite football fashion except for 1 game a year compared to all the losing years of crappy, incompetence. 

     

    We have the rarest of gifts with Josh and I want at least 1 superbowl but I'm going to enjoy all his amazing unstoppable performances even if the biggest one still escapes us. Especially with my daughter and family,  that is far more important to me than a losing score.

    Great points and I agree 110%

     

    To note, nothing that I do in reaction to them losing would scare her or anyone. I mean I'm frustrated and not happy with the outcome (and I get frustrated at myself internally for caring too much) but nothing that scare her or make her uncomfortable. Additionally, she has never even heard me cuss/say a bad word. 🙂

    Honestly, you are all over the place with your text.  It sounds like there are two people talking, which one is the real you?  And who is the other person?  How is exposing her to the Buffalo Bills "forcing" yourself on her?

     

    The great thing about being a parent is you see parts and even a lot of yourself in them and they turn out refreshingly different because it's a different life and you help shape it!

     

    I have two kids from my first marriage, born and grown up in Cleveland and now in college. I took and showed my kids how to fish, took them to Bills games, put them in sports.

     

    My daughter likes to fish, and the Bills.  My son didn't like fishing and stayed true to his hometown Browns.  So, I follow the Browns and Cavs just to share that connection with him, and I know part of my daughter's Bills fandom is to share a connection.

     

    You could argue anything you expose your kids to is technically forcing but we all know that's not true. 

     

    But kids love sharing and feeling your positive energy for things you are passionate about so stick with that.  Expose, even repeatedly but don't force.

     

    But first you have to identify the real you here.

     

     

    Thanks for the detailed response. 

     

    If it sounds like two people, it might be my own internal battle with how I should proceed following the Bills. 

     

    As far as my daughter, I think maybe what is my concern is her developing the same type of feelings I have when it comes to the Bills (like overly caring/bothered by the outcomes of their games).

    Sir you missed a fantastic yankee season.  Truly enjoyable.  John Sterling came back and called the playoffs and he was amazing.

     

    They have built an excellent team for this year also.  Best pitching staff they have had since the late 90's imo.  

     

    Aaron Judge and Josh Allen are one in the same.  Great people, great players who are worth rooting for.  

     

    I hope you can find your way back to yankees baseball this summer.

    Nice. For the Yankees, it was really just a time thing for me more then anything else. I've seen them win all of their other WS since 96 so winning/losing anymore with them doesn't bother me. It was the time.

  7. So I didn't get NFL Sunday ticket this year for the first time in my adult life. I did not watch NFL games other then the Bills this year. 

     

    I don't think I can stop being a Bills fan, but I'm going to stop watching (live) football next year. No fantasy as well. 

     

    Maybe watch highlights but at this point I'm a grown man trying to live my life (with all the normal life things like so many others: wife, kid, a job, etc). I don't need to keep watching stuff that doesn't bring joy and only anguish.(regular season wins are meaningless winning is expected and losses are catastrophic for trying to get the all elusive #1 seed). Being good but coming short I think is worse then the drought. 

     

    But at the end of the day, even if I were a Patriots or Chiefs fan, how is my life any different today? 

     

    I won't stop being a fan but I use to be a huge Yankees fan and you know what supposedly they went to the World Series this year... I didn't watcha single inning of Yankees baseball all year. 

  8. Honest question. I would love for her to care about the Bills and actually have someone to enjoy games with (actually it's just to suffer with if we are being honest). 

     

    My wife hates football and I'll be honest, it bothers me that she could care less about the Bills. 

     

    I feel that I am just being selfish. I definitely don't want to force her into it. If she does on her own, then it's ok. However I think her life would be better off if she doesn't.

     

    This season was the first time I didn't subscribe to NFL Sunday ticket. I'm trying to move on with life and the Bills have consumed so much of my life.

     

    I did not watch any other NFL games this season other then the Bills. I believe my goal is stop watching the Bills as well. 

     

    I guess my real question is I don't want to force myself on her deciding if she is going to like the Bills or not. Any advice would be appreciated. 

     

    I wish I didn't care and I honestly don't want my daughter to go through life like I have.
