Hell, she’s plenty qualified to run the country. Right, not a single successful person ever had a job as a waiter. If you're not successful by the age of 30 you've hit your peak, as everyone knows.

It started that way, and it went that way the whole time. What reality are you in? It must be exhausting to be so insecure and threatened all the time. It sounds like you're the one playing the victim card. If a man with her resume were in her position people would make the exact same points.

The Wiz Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 (edited) 12 minutes ago, Rob's House said: As long as she doesn't make any decisions that affect football operations I really couldn't care less what role she takes. I just find it amusing that some portray this like it's some groundbreaking achievement for women. That and virtue signalers piss me off. You mean like Russ did as president? I don't want her near any football decisions along with any other president that may be hired. I don't care about"virtue signalers" as you call it. People think it's good for her then that's great. I don't see the hate in pointing it out even if she's handed the job be it interim or for good. She's done a lot to help the downtown Buffalo area so she should at least get a crack at it. 6 minutes ago, Rob's House said: It sounds like you're the one playing the victim card.

If they were to get divorced, the team would be an asset of marriage. So yes, they'd split the team. Do you think Terry, already divorced with two kids, married a waitress 13 years his junior and had a 50-50 marriage agreement? Did I wake up in a different dimension?

billsfan89 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 50 minutes ago, SouthNYfan said: She was the co-owner of their company, which they sold, and bought the hockey clubs together, then bought the bills, together. She's not a trophy wife who was bought a new camaro. She's actively been a part of building their business for over 2 decades. sweet chauvinist signal. I think it is fair to question her credentials because of her close relationship with Terry. She didn't build the business together with Terry, Terry worked for Getty Oil and then founded his first company in 1983. Terry's business was pretty well established and successful by the time he met Kim. Kim since the age of 22 has only worked for entities owned by Terry. If your husband is the owner of where you work it is possible that you won't get held to the same standard as an ordinary worker. I am not saying that she did or didn't but rather that it isn't out of the realm of possibility. I think it's also fair to question Kim's credentials because we don't know what her positions within Terry's various companies were. We don't know the scope of what she has managed and how successful she has managed them. It could be she is really involved and very good at what she has worked on. But it could also be that she has never really managed a large division and resources either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus, dude. It was just an amusing aside about how the first female President of an NFL team got there on the coattails of a man. It's not that serious.
