SectionC3 Posted July 30, 2020 Author Share Posted July 30, 2020 8 hours ago, DE Bills Fan said: This is really disappointing. As a fan of 50 years, I thought that I had seen it all; WIDE RIGHT, HOMERUN THROWUP, THE DROP as well as all of the losing seasons and playoff defeats (many of which were heartbreaking). BLM is an organization that is anti-family and anti-white. I cannot express my feelings tany better than what Marcellus Wiley said about his lack of support for BLM on his show a couple of weeks ago. I really hoped that the BILLS would have not supported this organization and can only hope that they make better decisions about this in the future... How do you know the bills don’t simply support the point that the lives of blacks matter? It’s an important discussion piece. African -American players are more likely to want to play in an area in which they are accepted and respected not just for what the accomplish on the field, but for who they are as human beings. The Pegulas made a good move here. It was a solid football and human decision to post that message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your take is ignorant. Anyone who says “all lives matter” as a retort to BLM simply doesn’t get it. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think that every social justice movement is going to be lovely, peaceful, and involve no mistakes or incidents, I just don’t know what to tell you. We don’t use isolated incidents to try and (unsuccessfully) prove a larger point. Have a nice day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SectionC3 Posted July 30, 2020 Author Share Posted July 30, 2020 56 minutes ago, Gene1973 said: The BLM movement includes a lot of disgusting baggage including killings. And the fact that you need to state that black lives matter because people don't inherently know this is preposterous, of course they matter. Human lives matter, all humans except some of the mentally ill know this, c'mon. The BLM message has been severely corrupted, and polls show that support for the movement is declining due to the death and mayhem it had caused. Peaceful it is not. It’s one thing to think they matter. It’s another thing to act like it. There are too many who have not acted that way. George Floyd is just a microcosm of it. But this is a thread about football. And if a majority of Bills employees and customers support the pint that black lives do matter, it’s is a sound decision to broadcast the message at the front door to The Stadium.

We all get it!!! We all go through stuff. Some more than others. I’m sorry if you’ve had bad experiences in your life but they weren’t caused by me. PS: The very fact that we’re having THIS conversation and not a better one is proof they got the name wrong. It’s OK, they made a mistake. It happens.

Strong-arming a narrative is just not the way to enact worthy change. defunding the police is a republican talking point and will never happen. How do you erase history...by removing statues of traitors to the country? History will always be there 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Socioeconomic mobility has always been more difficult compared to other wealthy post-industrialized nations. This is why we say the pledge of allegiance in grade school, so that those kids grow up to be adults and just say and believe things about their country that aren’t true. In 2020, looks like it’s still working. https://www.brookings.edu/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/02_economic_mobility_sawhill_ch3.pdf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use his Sunday Ticket when I'm not at the bar and told me I have to find another account. He's watched nearly every Bills game since they started in 1959. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
