HuSeYiN_NYC Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 There was a time when the flag didn't exist smh... This is a protest for "human" rights, yet the OP cares about a flag more. The players reacted to Trump's comments. For you to lose love for a team because of what you saw today makes me question what you REALLY believe in. Makes me think to myself, are you the type of person to namecall a certain skin tone... Idk you either way but peace man... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirate Angel Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Today is a sad day, my love for my beloved Buffalo Bills has ended. I have been a loyal fan since 1978 and cannot watch overpaid self absorbed players disgrace OUR Flag. Arlington National cemetery is filled with heroes who deserve better. They fought and died for our freedoms one having the right to stand up for what you believe in. I don't like it or understand it so I try to ignore it and mind my own buisness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vetrerans did not serve for a flag but to defend the Constitution and Bill of Rights, which protects freedom of expression. Perhaps if you spent a minute contemplating how awesome a silent, nonviolent protest is you could honor those who fought and died. Otherwise, see ya.

Domdab99 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 How is not standing for the anthem disrespectful to troops? What kind of twisty meandering down a dark path do you have to travel to get there? I wonder if OP stands up every time he's watching a game on TV when the anthem is played. Or if he is instead laying on his couch in his underwear scratching his balls Sorry to hear. Won't stop me from watching, but there's no doubt in my mind that ratings are gonna take a HUUUGE hit. I'll take action up to $100 on that not happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodbye everyone. No more season tickets for me. I know this doesn't matter to you, but doesn't the USA exist to allow citizens to express their displeasure over a social issue? You may not like the forum but should feel great about the freedom. The bonus would be to take a minute to think about why someone would protest at all.

vincec Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Sorry to hear. Won't stop me from watching, but there's no doubt in my mind that ratings are gonna take a HUUUGE hit. I know two close friends who cancelled their Sunday Ticket package today. Given how unpopular the protests are with the general public (72% opposed according to poll by Reuters a week ago), I think you are probably right that this will seriously hurt the NFL.

racecitybills Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Bye... it's freedom of speech. I stand with the players and unity. They're are protesting Trump now because of his absurd and divisive comments yesterday. Trump was not even a candidate when this all started. Blaming this on him is idiotic but typical of democrat hostages. If you kneel you are disrespecting the flag and the country. Nothing more nothing less. You are taking a stand for nothing. Give respect. Get respect. Simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
