  1. Just to remind everyone. This is a player who posted "Hitler was right." What I love about the Buffalo Bills is how we have always been a team driven by character. Yes we had a brief window with a different type of coach, but for the most part that is the teams DNA going back to Marv Levy. I get DJ apologized subsequently, but I wonder if this is the type of man we want on our team. I don't. But I am just a fan.
  2. Please. No it has not been used "effectively" by multiple cultures. Most of that period to which you refer was before the advent of modern medicine, when life expectancy was half what it is now and things Smallpox wiped out whole communities. Chiropractors are not researchers, nor are they doctors. They don't set the bar very high, so when you say "even used" this is not an endorsement from science based medicine. Cupping doesn't work. It never has and it never will. If we don't trust empiricism and the scientific method to determine what is real, we will all suffer from something more than sore necks. I hope he is actually seeing a physio. And maybe burning sage while saying Tom Brady backwards three times. That has worked for thousands of years.
  3. I am old enough to remember the civil rights movement of the 1960's. And the Anti-war demonstrations. I have lived half my life in America and half in Europe. You should be proud of America's right to assemble and right to demonstrate. There is no bullying. It is the free expression of ideas. Ultimately these issues will be decided at the ballot box. It is not always thus in different countries. The right to demonstrate and to vote our things we should be proud of. But we should also be proud of our majority rules while protecting minority rights. Let's think how normal it was when we were children, if you are my age, to hear racist "jokes." Think about the evidence of the denial of ordinary rights to our black citizens. In the south, extra-judicial lynchings accounted for the deaths of 3500 black people. Mobs, taking black people, dragging them to a tree and hanging them. Now stop for a moment. Sure things have improved, but shouldn't we, as Americans, be proud, that our dynamic nation continues to try and improve, to accord still great equality to all colors, races and creeds? Sure, there will be overreach, and we will see things we are used to, change. But that change, constantly for the better, is why I am a proud American. As I know you are too. Please, our dear Bills give us so much joy (and heartache), let us share their journey together, as we Americans will share the journey of our nation. But let us brace for vigorous debate and respectfully agree and disagree, but understand that debate, demonstrates, expressions of frustration, even rage, are essential to our great democracy. We are in this together. Lets reason together and arrive at a better place together. No one will be right all the time; but the important is thing is we try to be better. I hope to see you at a Bills game. When we are in the Super Bowl this next year, I hope we are the team that becomes emblematic of our brave new nation, just, free and renewed. Buffalo is the heart of America and the REAL America's team. God's blessing on you.
