Hapless Bills Fan Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Anyone hear of this? https://twitter.com/JBurtonXP/status/911643048718848005/photo/1 I'm guessing fake news. the original quote just referred to a source saying "it would be discussed during a team meeting". the response turned it into "scheduling an emergency team meeting".

Lurker Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Apparently J Burton has a reading / thinking / understanding of the English language problem. I hope he gets help for that problem. But I'm not holding my breath... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUFFALOKIE Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 I don't sit down to watch the game until about 25 second till kickoff, so the anthem, and what the players, coaches or fans do during the anthem doesn't concern me in the least. BUT...I now actively HOPE that every player in the NFL kneels. What a STUPID stance for the President of The United States of America to take. This !@#$ing clown makes me sick.

26CornerBlitz Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 @JeffDarlington Sources tell me Bills locker room, for instance, has been very emotional today as some players consider several possibilities for protest. @TomPelissero #Bills veteran Lorenzo Alexander tells me it was his idea to discuss Donald Trump's remarks as a team tonight (as @JeffDarlington noted).

Um, it's only against the constitution for the government to oppress speech. That is what Trump is doing. Citizens have the right to not have their speech squashed by the government, which is literally what Trump did. If the NFL fired a player for it, it would be sad, but not against the most important, and first, ammendment. Huge difference, my man.

He hasn't signed any kind of EO requiring folks to say/not say what they want. He's not pushing for legislation. He's simply voicing his opinion that owners should fire players for protesting (which, as you point out, they can)...rightly or wrongly. Oppressing free speech would include inflicting violence against those that say things with which you don't agree, etc...it's important, IMO, to consider who does such things.

I would be equally angry if suggested any of that, including banning guns. Without the first amendment you would be bowing to kings and queens.

Businesses can do what they want. your understanding of this situation is lacking a gratuitous amount of what the first amendment is about. These athletes have no more right to do this on the field than you have the right to go to work and profess your personal beliefs. Freedom of speech and the first amendment is not protected in an employee/employer relationship. Especially when a contract stipulates expected behavior. Your entire premise is wrong. So completely wrong that you have no basis to speak further believing this is about free speech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
