Fans shouldn't feel obligated to donate anything. And I'll admit the post was a little scorched earth. But Josh has been vocally campaigning for months. Outside of Wegmans, I haven't seen any kind of big push for him. Any donating to charity is awesome. But it's baffling to me that we go six figures for a playoff opponent in less than a day just because when nothing like that's been done for our own guy who's been putting it out there daily for months.

Giuseppe Tognarelli Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Yeah, I came here to make the point about Josh Norman's cause as well. It really makes no sense that no one cares about that--helping local people--but these things with opponents' charities explode. It's embarrassing and makes me feel bad for Norman. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benderbender Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 For anyone who hasn’t donated yet, be sure to scroll down the page and put your employer into the “See if your employer will match your donation“ box.

TroutDog Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 I donated to Lamar and Josh Norman’s. Not sure why some are arguing about this: give to whatever you’re comfortable with...it’s not necessary, in my opinion, to belittle others for giving to a worthy cause. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letsgoteam Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 I think fans would be better off donating to Bills related charities either Buffalo related or a players charity. As others said, Andy Dalton thing cool, JA's grandmother amazing. However, the donating to a charity of someone who dislikes Buffalo (Bomani Jones) or after beating another team (Lamar) isnt that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Haven't donated to this one. But serious question, Bills win the Super Bowl, how much will we collectively donate? I'd think $10,000,000 is easily in reach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you’re missing the point.. we’re not supporting the players - we’re supporting the charity. The reality is that these types of movements put money towards good causes when otherwise they’d stay in peoples pockets. I’m sure Josh Norman would agree. He’d much rather money go to a charity he doesn’t support rather than no where at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Josh Norman but he is getting big money from big business like Wegmans, Rich, and the Bills. They could easily write a 7 figure check if they wanted. It also has politicians involved with it. If I want to help Buffalo small business I will buy something from the actual small business too. As for Dalton, Allen, and Jackson, they are for charities helping sick children and hungry children. It is a little easier to give to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always looking for respect and attention from the rest of the world... so we look outside Buffalo before we look inside.

I am lost on this one. He was knocked out of the game with a head injury. He lost a game in part because of a pick 6, and he still went out of his way to sign autographs for Bills fans at the airport. That is very unusual behavior from a star of the league. Guys like Brady won't even shake the hands of opposing quarterbacks when he loses. Why is giving $8 to a charity that feeds kids so bad anyway? Would it have happened if he wasn't injured and just lost a game? No. But he was knocked out of the game. It was just a classy thing to do. https://www.syracuse.com/buffalo-bills/2021/01/watch-lamar-jackson-signs-autographs-for-ravens-bills-fans-at-airport-after-loss.html Edited January 19, 2021 by BITE ME 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not an "everyone should get a trophy" guy, but it's hard losing a playoff game. Lamar's a good dude and it's a way he still "wins" even though the Bills advance. And it's a good charity.

And now Lamar has to thank the fans of the team that just kicked his *** and knocked him out? Bills fans really reaching for attention with this. How about supporting players on the bills who are trying to help our community?

So I have been thinking about this. What do Joshs, Dalton and Lamars charities have in common? They are all helping children. People are much more willing to donate to children then businesses. Also these are Bills fans everywhere donating. Is a Bills fan not in WNY going to donate to a children's charity or for businesses in a town they dont live? Even people outside of Erie county are not going to donate to Buffalo businesses when most likely the ones in their towns are struggling. Children will win that 100% of the time. 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills fans really reaching for attention with this. How about supporting players on the bills who are trying to help our community? I didn’t ignore those pleas. As previously stated, I donated to both. Why some feel the need to question why others give to charity is beyond me. Lamar came to Bills Stadium and did his best. He happens to have a charity that offers those without to have some. I willingly gave to it and have also given to Norman’s charity. If you don’t like giving to Lamar’s charity...no worries! Don’t! But don’t trample on others who see a worthy cause and contribute to it. It’s entirely nonsensical to me. 1 1 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
