He's gotta do some serious damage control to try and save his career. He was fringe material before this, now ur own teammates see who you can be behind closed doors. Like... An apology is huge, a personal change is huger. Especially after the stuff McDermott said in his presser. Was it said at a bad time, or leaked at a bad time?

He said it last year, it wasn't a comment on the current political climate. Honestly if we are going to punish young 20 year olds for everything they say in private then the whole world might as well be punished. The girl who leaked this should be ashamed. 7 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the follow up text she tells the other girl that this is a teaching moment. She just ruined this guy's career. Hell of a lesson. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden*Wheels Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 I expect ESPN to somehow tie this to Josh's old nonsense and a "culture" at the Bills in 3....2...1.... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a huge leap... It does, but knowing the media they could make it out that the Bills are the bad guys. Might be a PC move to make everyone happy. It’s unfortunate but that’s the world we live in now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyDays Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Well this is really starting to blow up on Twitter. Too bad. People are comparing what Fromm said in a private conversation a year ago to what Brees said publicly. I guess the witch hunt is officially on. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAJBobby Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Now I am sure teams already knew this. They would have easily uncovered it and could be the very reason he was falling like a rock 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HardyBoy Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 4 minutes ago, HappyDays said: I'll admit I've had personal text conversations where I've made very off-color jokes to my friends. It's not right that this was leaked and I don't take it as a statement on who Fromm is as a person. I'm sure everyone here has said something in private that would destroy their career if it was made public. Something based on gender or race? Maybe as a dumb teenager or in their early 20s with very minimal life experience, but as an adult? Might want to reevaluate that "everyone" and change it to some people or a few people. Now, I mean have I done things outside of work that potentially could have gotten me in trouble at work if it went viral...sure, I'm 100% with you there, but non satirical off color jokes about race or gender...nah, probably not the norm honestly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphadawg7 Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 17 minutes ago, aristocrat said: he needs to apologize. that's it move on. michael thomas accepted drew brees' apology. BUT...Drew Brees didn't say anything "wrong", he shared his PERSONAL experience and deep meaning with the anthem and why its important to him to stand. His mistake, was projecting that meaning on to others as if they should feel the same, and his biggest mistake was the poor timing and lack of social awareness. What Fromm said was SUBSTANTIALLY worse and literally quite racist...even if he claims he was joking, which we all know is inevitably coming. Everyone knows Brees isnt racist, but now Fromm appears to believe he is a white elite with special privileges. Plus...Fromm...questionable NFL player at this stage...Brees one of the GOATS with a LONG history of giving and supporting his community which has a rich and deep African American population, culture, and history. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJS Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 It's obviously a joke. A dumb joke and insensitive, but people say dumb things in private text conversations all the time. If he gets fired for this it shows what a backward world we live in. Getting fired for a private joke made in a private conversation? I guess Drew Brees should get fired for saying people shouldn't kneel during the anthem. Josh Allen should get fired for the tweets he sent as a teenager. And I am totally on board with the cause against police brutality and believe that African Americans have it much worse. 1 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
