2021 Bills vs Twitter

It is not impossible he meant that in fairness. I think it is unlikely myself but it is a plausible alternative explanation. 

 

If he did mean that then he should clarify that was his intention - and again stay off social media because true meaning and nuance can be hard to get across in limited characters! 


Why should he clarify?  Hardly anyone is taking him that way in the replies, let alone his actual teammates.  
 

It’s just some people here making it a thing.

Because the implications of it being read the other way (and personally that is still my belief as to the point he was trying to make) is a really bad look.

 

Again, I have no problem with him expressing his view on vaccines. That is not what that list bit of the tweet was though and given the possible insinuation he should clarify.

Speaking of sandwiches, one of the things Pittsburgh does right is Primanti brothers sandwiches—back in the day after a few too many as a college kid, those were extra delicious and warded off the worst of the hangover to come…:doh:

I thought Brother Bill had a point when he historically drove to Pittsburgh, purchased a Primanti sandwich, brought it back mistreated and hurled it.

 

Not that it isn't a great sandwich, but the Optics, Man!

We completely agree with the latter!  I liked Beasley much better when he said the best thing he'd done was hand his social media accounts over to his management team and stay off it.

 

I don't think Beasley has an obligation to clarify though

This is my conundrum—die hard Bills fan for life, but grew up in Western Pa and so I’ve eaten of the forbidden sandwich many a time :wallbash:

this is as racist as it gets. He’s comparing being unvaccinated to being a minority and saying that now that Hughes is part of a majority, he’s just as bad as a racist. If you can’t see that that is racist, I don’t know what to tell you.

 

I understand that is your and others interpretation of this, but that doesn't mean it's the only interpretation or the correct one.

Beasley vs Hughes

 

Feliciano chiming in

 

Dodson vs Beasley

 

and that's just in the last 24 hours

I think it's a huge stretch to say Beasley vs any teammate. Dodson has been sticking up for him, with light hearted comments.  

Hughes made 1 comment about the vaccine,  just cause it's a different opinion doesn't mean they're pitted against each other at all.

 

It's the "fans" that are causing negativity because they disagree with Beasleys view. 

And why is this such a big deal to the mods? It's Bills related and this is the biggest Bills forum on the internet,  pretty ridiculous we can't discuss it.

How is Beasley being persecuted?  He is putting his views out there on Twitter, others are putting their views out in response.

 

Abused, yes he is.  I do not and will not get a twitter account and participate because of the rudeness and abuse.  I think it's despicable.

Persecution simply means being ill treated or abused for political or religious beliefs, which is what's happening. Not everyone is doing it, but that's just what the word means.

 

FTR I wish he would just shut up because it's getting him nowhere.

I don't think he has an obligation to either. Just that he would be well advised to.

Beane is on the phone with Kevyn Adams begging him to trade eichel already so the news cycle boomerangs back to him

Agree that Beasley has good points involving vaccinated teammates who are only tested once every 14 days and can go about unmasked possibly spreading Covid to vaccinated and unvaccinated teammates.  This is potentially a real issue and the NFL had better address it.  Their protocols are appropriate for last winter, but that was Then, This is Now.

 

Yep. Why not still test everybody regularly? Would anyone actually object to that?

 

And if anyone tests positive, they would still use their tracking methods to sideline any unvaccinated players.

I can’t speak for any mods but it’s us that usually ruin the threads by going off topic and name calling etc etc. The covid no no thread is pinned for all to see but dang it we just can’t stop getting in our own way.

We have people on certain networks calling for punitive measures to be taken against those that haven’t received the vaccination.   
 

The NFL is actually enacting such measures.  
 

Jalen Ramsey showed, to me, what leadership is, when he spoke out on social media to make sure nobody on his team feels pressure to get vaccinated because of a league policy that attempts to potentially vilify them during the season. 
 

Cole and Hopkins seem less calculated, but more emotional in their social media posts.  
 

As someone who agrees with Cole, there’s probably a more coherent way of going about it, while also not allowing themselves to be bullied by a segment of society that views you as “less than” for not getting the vaccination.

I've not even read this thread from its OP but this is what I have to say. I learned in a zoom session for reducing stress in a persons life that it is helpful to find a trusted source for your information and limit the amount of info/sources you read or view on a daily basis.

 

In that regard I have made a conscious decision to delete politics as well as multiple news sources bombarding me. But I do check for all my sports information here. And the tweets you all share herein is the extent of my exposure to the twitterverse I do not partake.

 

The fact that alll this drama and conjecture is flying around gives me severe anxiety Im not gonna lie. I actually hate it.  I Thanks for letting me vent.

When it comes to players I disagree that the NFL is enacting those measures. Not that I think it's rules for 2021 are perfect - they clearly are not - but there is a way for unvaccinated players to play. They have more restrictions than unvaccinated players but I have to say I think that is fair enough - even if some of those rules could be tweaked somewhat.

 

I think the Dennison thing is a much bigger deal because he basically only had two choices. Vacced or fired and as I said in that thread that makes me instinctively uncomfortable because I don't think that is a decision for the NFL to make.

I am very much the same. I browse Facebook to see what family is up to but try very hard to avoid most stuff. I hate the drama stuff

No, he’s certainly not obligated. But if he were smart, that’s what he would do; unless he enjoys the otherwise uninformed derision of his remarks. But he seems to like inviting and flaming the the drama his tweets create.

Is it a decision for any employer in any industry to make? I suspect Dennison’s decision not to get vaccinated wasn’t made in a vacuum.

I think you can probably identify some industries - those where employees are coming into contact with vulnerable people on a daily basis in Health and Social Care etc - but beyond that it makes me instinctively uncomfortable as I said in that other thread.

Unfortunately, given the exponential nature of viral spread in a pandemic, employees’ potential to be infected or to spread infection isn’t limited simply to the people they come in contact with while at work on a daily basis. 

 

It’s a tough call and it’s easy to understand why people rebel against it, but it’s better to err on the side of caution imo, given what we’ve seen and what we’ve learned.

I agree better to err on the side of caution. I would be in favour of more robust Government intervention personally albeit I know how controversial that would be anywhere let alone in the US.

I know this is controversial and I get it they are a cutesy young couple but neither of them do much for me. I'll stick with Poyer and his slightly bonkers missus 😁

Yes, let’s get some pics of her up on here, ASAP please! 😉

 

In fact, we should have Bills hot wife tournament, where we all vote and the winners advance in the bracket...👍
