lol, saying "whats white is right" when you're a 16 year old kid does not make you a raciest, snowflake, it makes you a normal kid that says dumb stuff occasionaly,

 

I wonder what party you vote for.  ?

They didn’t know because the tweets were deleted months ago. Someone had screen shots that they released the night before the draft.

The tweets were deleted but somebody had taken snapshots of them.  For whatever reason they were brought to light the night before the draft.  I suspect Belichick, naturally.

when did this happen?   

I thought they said he did it when he was a dumb 14 year old.  

 

He tweeted 6 years ago and someone saved them for this long?

The episode that Josh Allen was quoting.

In no way to I imply this justifies or makes it acceptable. Simply putting it out there.

Does he still say it and think it today as a young adult.

What a disaster.

 

Maybe it's time to find another team to root for .... looks like the Browns did pretty well last night, there you go.

He can root for Baltimore as they drafted Lalar aka TT ver 2.0

Several teams called him or his agents yesterday to ask for an explanation. Maybe teams don't put that much of a priority on nonsense like this. Maybe they prefer to look at the football side of it.

 

You mean teams aren’t digging into their past when they were 14 and 15 years old?

 

I hope they don’t find his medical records when he was 12 and was involved in that car accident while wearing dirty underwear.

Many people here hate the Allen pick but I a, letting the football people decided who they like best.  One thing I was suprised to hear in the presser last night is that the tweets were unknown to the Bills prior to yesterday morning.   One would have thought that in their due diligence they would have at least looked into social media history of the guy.   Maybe they just looked at current account not for everything ever posted which takes a little more work to find.   But given they likely talked to many people about this kid suprised nothing ever got mentioned.   I like the pick just suprised at the comment about not knowing.

 

Read this article.  It addresses the tweets..............

This is Beane playing dumb. Does anyone for a minute truly believe a guy as smart as Beane had no idea of the Tweets? In fact, he’s probably the one that leaked them.

I'd prefer them to concentrate on football as well, which boggles the mind on how they selected Allen over Rosen.  They must not be very good at you know, football.

And you are? Why don't you explain to us all how it comes to be that you are so very well qualified.

 

Ironic that you come to a thread about people saying stupid things on social media, and then you say STUPID things on social media.

 

And that isn't an insult man. Its a fact. What you said, is STUPID. Unless you can back it up. What are your qualifications here?

 

I don't like the pick either. I also wanted Rosen. But I on the other hand know that my opinion isn't as important because I am not a professional and I do not have the all the information they do.

 

What earthly reason can you give to insist that your opinion matters more?

It was more like they didn't known of the recent appearance of the tweets

later he said they talked to teammates and friends about

I honestly don't care about tweets from junior high. Non story to me. I don't see why the Bills would dig into his junior high years if 18-21 years are clean. 

 

Interesting that people keep walking back his age during the tweets in question. I’ve seen 16-17, 14-15, now junior high. 

 

Welp, boys will be boys, right?  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[ddaryl]

the tweets are not an issue..

 

I am sure if this man was a racist his team mates would of spilled the beans to Beane

 

That is unless Wyoming was a 100% white team which I willing to bet is not the case

[Rob's House]

I find all of this deeply offensive and concerning. Of course, I'm also a huge kitty.

To be accurate, you don't know that Allen is a racist either.

 

What you know is that when he was 16 and in HS, he made a bunch of tweets echoing lyrics in rap songs and a comedy skit, deleted them, and someone had screen shots and brought them up.

It was sarcasm, son.

If you read the whole post, you'll see that the main point was that the FO saying they didn't know about the tweets is complete malarkey.

People have trouble with math sometimes.  2018-2013 = 5

21 - 5 = 16

I find that hard to believe in this day and age with all of the technology right at everyone's fingertips that they didnt do their due diligence and plead ignorance that they didnt know that Allen made those tweets..........or are the rest of Bills nation either just that stupid or just that gullible.

 

How the !@#$ is what he said racist?  Jesus Christ the pansies in this world who think everything is racist

Seems to me it depends upon the quality of the scouting researchers Beane employs & the direction they were given, and not on Beane's smarts.

If they were told to review 4 years of the guy's social media and these tweets are 5 years old, Beane wouldn't know.

 

OTOH you could be right and he could have been the one who leaked them

If people don't think kids are making jokes like this to each other on a consistent basis, they are in for a world of hurt.

and especially kids in sports together. My boy has been in Basketball all his life and in HS Varsity, and there's always been friendly back and forth with he and his teammates/friends of other races. From the outside you'd think these kids were in the 1940's and all racist with some of the comments I hear/ see. But they truly like each other and get along just fine.

[Luka]

Wasn't there a screen shot of a tweet of him also saying he loves penis? If he had a long history of KKK tweets and propaganda, Confederate flags on his truck, swastikas tattooed on his forehead, then I'd buy all this racist crap. But one tweet? And it was clearly a quote from a show? Get over yourselves.

His tweets that are allegedly racist from the race baiting peanut gallery were in reference to a song.  Quoting lyrics

Which makes sense to me, since otherwise they were completely incomprehensible to a middle aged white guy like me.  Rule: the n word is completely off limits to white people, no matter how cool/funny they think they're being, and no matter how many black friends they have. Richie Incognito can explain.

I agree.  It's a stupid thing to do, but the intent for me is what matters most.  There was no malicious intent in it, it was something that he did that was stupid when he was a young teenager.  Everyone who has been around him to a tee attests to him being a good young man that is a leader of their group.  For me it's a non story.

He was a young teen raised in a conservative rural area. He was young, naive, and ignorant. I would trust what people say about him at Wyoming, especially his teammates.

I don't know when he deleted those tweets, but I'm guessing it was within the last year.  Given he was a top NFL prospect as far as two years ago, somebody thought it would be prudent to take a snapshot of those tweets in case he deleted them to use against him.

[QB12]

The last thing the team needs is hushed whispers in the locker room (pro Allen and those questioning him amid distrust).

 

The concept of TEAM should mean We are in this together, not sell-out to a good player in spite of the TEAM. The FO should have thought this through.
