flomoe Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 The ignorance of some people, that believe everything that the "main stream media" spews is gospel, is unbelievable. Just because the New York Times or Washington Post print something that says Trump is a racist, doesn't mean it's true. I would hope that these "educated" athletes, understand and research the truth about the candidates. The fact that Rex openly supported Trump shouldn't affect one person involved with the team in any capacity whatsoever. He is an American with the right and freedom to support whoever he wants, just like players have their right and freedom to stand or sit for the National Anthem. It should not affect what happens on the field and anybody with half a brain should understand that. The freedom for individuals to have their own thoughts without persecution is what makes this country great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billschinatown Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 I don't think Rex thinks of politics in a nuance way. Rex supporting Trump is probably more of a byproduct of his admiration that Trump has no filter similar to himself. Keep in mind it was Trump who insulted the Pegula's after he lost his bid for the team. Rex supporting Trump probably irked Pegula, but it's not like he was going to muzzle Rex's free speech. Similarly if Kaepernick was on the Bills Pegula wouldn't stop him from protesting. Rex is smarter than Trump. You can hear it in the way that they speak. Namely Rex is coherent and has tact if he chooses to use it; but I agree Trump probably has a style Rex likes. Also it should be noted...Rex regularly accepts/acknowledges losing, as we know . Trump on the other hand can't hand psychological ramifications of admitting he was wrong or lost at something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatdrinks Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Hes a Mexican, Trump told CNN of Curiel. Were building a wall between here and Mexico. The answer is, he is giving us very unfair rulings rulings that people cant even believe. Curiel, it should be noted, is an American citizen who was born in Indiana. I dunno....that's pretty close to the definition of being racist; saying an American is unable to make judicial decisions properly because of their race. That's not what he was saying. He was saying he felt the individual was incapable of putting aside some comments that Trump made about illegal immigrants from Mexico ( Not ALL Mexicans) when giving rulings on his cases. He basically was saying the Judge was racist in response to his opinions on immigration that were being spun as racist. Trump wasn't saying the Judge couldn't make decisions properly because of his race , but because he felt the judge was being racist against him.

The freedom for individuals to have their own thoughts without persecution is what makes this country great. They need to honor their contracts. They aren't preventing him from supporting Trump. Free speech is an American right. Freedom from consequences of free speech is not. Ask Colin. Sometimes I think people forget that. If they don't like him because of his political leanings, fine. But they still better play hard for that $$$. It appears that they are. He did the trump thing a while ago, I doubt they unravel now. They all showed up on their day off Monday.

Are we going to do a thing where I keep giving you examples and you keep telling me I'm wrong? Lets just skip that and beat the LA rams next week. Go Bills.

The idea that anyone in mainstream American politics is actually a socialist is laughable. You lot wouldn't know how to deal with a real socialist. Bernie was as close as you have got for years and look at the media reaction to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
