bobobonators Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 http://buffalonews.com/2017/08/31/cameron-jefferson-heckled-bills-fan-fist-roster-spot-remain-air/ It's the National Anthem. Stand and show your respect. It's not a time to call attention to yourself or whatever your individual cause is. This is probably the only time you will hear that guys name other than on the cut list. If you don't know what to do during the National Anthem look at Eric Wood in the photo. I swear if any Bills player doesn't stand for the National Anthem and the team does nothing about it I will not support this team any longer. Who is with me? Im definitely not with you.

MAJBobby Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Meh. The last thing a team needs is to be an !@#$ to some guy who does something like this. As long as the NFL allows it he can do it. He isn't exactly the first one to do it. Sure that really is the last thing the NFL needs. Ha ha ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Not with you. I believe in separation of church and state. The anthem is state and football the religion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy10 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 I don't understand why they even play the national anthem before sporting events. What's the logic behind it? The Olympics-- yes, I can see it. An NFL game-- huh? Even more perplexing is God Bless America during the 7th inning stretch. A. It's not the national anthem and B. Steinbrenner only started doing it to drag out the middle of the inning and ice the opposing pitcher. Patriotism was a convenient excuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJBobby Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Constitutional Right vs Someone elses Views Hmmm hard decision nah not really side with the Constitution every time. Even more perplexing is God Bless America during the 7th inning stretch. A. It's not the national anthem and B. Steinbrenner only started doing it to drag out the middle of the inning and ice the opposing pitcher. Patriotism was a convenient excuse. Well way in the early days the Anthem was played during the 7th inning stretch actually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realize how conservative Buffalo was until I got out. From the outside looking in, the place is just filled with old, antiquated people and ideas.

bisonbrigade Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 There is nothing more American than having the ability to stand up for what you believe in. Owners have a right to stand up for what they believe in too. Cut his ass. I agree take the anthem out of the NFL, there really is no need for it. Time for you to move to another country.

Yes we know the NFL is filled with ultra conservative owners. At the end he likely will be cut. But not because of his protest but he just isnt that good of an OT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeviF Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Sure that really is the last thing the NFL needs. Ha ha ha What, you want a BLM protest outside the stadium next Sunday? I'm not saying they should or shouldn't cut him or whatever, but imagine the press if the Bills said "hey, as your employer we're saying you can't do that on the clock anymore." That may be well within their rights, but that doesn't mean they should do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddog69 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 EASY SOLUTION: Play the National anthem for the fans prior to the players coming out onto the field. Then, with the crowd on their feet and cheering, introduce the players and run them out onto the field. No more controversy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyDays Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 (edited) This is America, not North Korea. You can do whatever you want during our anthem. He isn't making a scene just standing and putting his fist in the air. Who really cares. Everyone's offended by everything these days.

Ooo even if it does guess what they have a right to that protest. Just like the wannabe diabetes brigades due protecting the White Supremacist groups Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But not because of his protest but he just isnt that good of an OT It's not about "conservative", it is about patriotism, love of the country and respect. These players little stunts do nothing for their cause. Their is a time and place for discussion of ideas. The National Anthem is about honoring our Country and remembering the cost of their freedom to act stupid. Peoples lives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
