You don't understand what is being talked about. Better to sit back and read the comments if this is your response.

 

This isn't fans booing bad play or a team that has given up. This is a few people suppressing others down for a choice they are allowed to make. Making the game enjoyment worse for everyone around them, Karen's get kicked out of supermarkets for being idiots, why not other for booing someone b.c of a vaccination stand. Such stupidity and they don't need to be at a football game if they cannot separate politics and football for 4 hours 

Ahhh well there are drunks at every game. This isn’t no different. Get a bunch of loaded people with their stance on a highly controversial (not sure really why it is) topic and well that’s what you get. 
 

notice the other non vaxxed players are not getting Booed?  Hear anyone Boo Davis?  Star?  Nope ever wonder why?

Apparently you never went to a Bills game during the JP Losman, Kelly Holcomb, Billy Joe Hobert, Vince Ferragamo, Dennis Shaw, Jack Kemp years. Bills fans have booed their team in every era. 

Have you ever been to a Bills game?  There are a-holes galore. It’s a cross-section of society, not a country club. 

I wouldn’t call anyone an a-hole for booing Losman, Holcomb, or Hobert though. That’s called wisdom.

it is morally wrong, in my book. It’s like the 11th commandment. Thou shalt not boo. I have seen a lot of bad bills football and have never booed anyone, even players I didn’t care for. 
 

it also reflects poorly on the loyalty of the fan base. 

 Did I take a wrong turn on the internet and end up in church?

Well when you decide to get very vocal on a subject to the Point the HC has to talk to you about your Social Media Posts on that very subject. You better be ready for the response.

You shoulda been at training camp in 2009/2010 when Edwards was our qb. It was brutal. Fans yelling at him non stop all through out practice

Can we agree to change from "Bease" chants to golf claps?

What do you guys think the repercussions of Beasley's actions will end up being?

 

Will he get benched for it?   Fined for it?    Talked to by the coach but that is about it?    Something else?    Care to speculate?

 

Brandon Beane is typing a strongly worded tweet as we speak.😂😂

I am guessing another talking too from McD. Just like what happened in July.

Nobody who didn't make their way to that stadium and sit in the pouring rain for 3 hours to literally support their team in person and financially has any right whatsoever to question the loyalty of any Bills fan in attendance.    Common sense but we have a lot of tough talkers with big hats and no cattle on TSW.

What a bunch of ***** to boo players on "your" team during a practice!

Mckenzie got vaccinated. 

 

..but the difference is that those guys aren't getting into fights on twitter... seemed that this was obvious. 

 

Exactly.   Everyone else on the team who calls it a "personal decision" or a "private matter" has, in fact, kept it private and personal.  They aren't on Twitter repeatedly going on about their beliefs, including incorrect beliefs that some people are experiencing as problems to obtaining or providing high quality medical care.

As a parent being confronted with your kids in the car and being hot about it is not being a "baby".  Protecting your "babies" is 100% right-on as a parent, IMO.  

 

I agree with @SectionC3, leave the kids and the family out of it - that's way over the line.

I don't have an opinion on this.  And, if I did I'm going to keep it to myself.

I can go with that first.  I wouldn't boo, myself, and I don't like it, but far be it fro m me to question the "fan card" of someone who feels differently.

 

Confronting the player in his car while his kids and wife are with him is IMHO taking it too far.

Yes. I went to camp in 09 and the fans were relentless anytime Edwards was throwing the ball.

At least Cole plays for a fanbase in Buffalo and isn’t taking this overly vocal stance in a town full of microbrew drinking hipsters.

He knew he was lying when he called out the entire Bills fanbase for harassing him for his choice/beliefs/performance.

 

He cried wolf...........after that, any subsequent vague complaint can be presumed false or exaggerated.

So only those who hold one opinion can get “ very vocal “ on social media , while those who disagree should be ready for a response? Sorry, but that’s BS. Beasley is a good player on the Bills. Shouldn’t be getting booed by knuckleheads.

Is yelling at an unvaxxed player to get vaxxed talking ***** or simply giving advice?

His complaint as far as I know doesn't mention that.  Just mentions the boos from the crowd and cries about it and paints "bills fans" with a broad ignorant brush.

 

 

If he were to say something along the lines of "please bills fans, if we disagree on the topic of vaccination, please leave the kids out of it"   that's pretty unimpeachible

Well, Beasley didn’t mention the incident; it was Feliciano that mentioned it.

Unlike Beasley those others didn’t say “Out of respect for my teams mates I am getting off social media until season over”.

Yep it is. See I also pay money to this team. So yeah I can be critical. And really haven’t been critical of them in a long time either.  Next time tag me when you want to talk about me deal?

to each his own, I guess. I am going to support this team no matter what. It’s the same way I would support my kid’s little league team— win or lose, I am staying positive.  
 

I guess it’s different fans have different perspectives. 

[PrimeTime101]

This whole thing is frustrating me on multiple levels so bare with me stuttering through this.

 

First and foremost we live where we have choices in life.. The choice to boo or not boo... the choice to take a vaccine or not take a vaccine.. the choice to voice our own opinions, no matter if the majority likes that decision or not. So knowing all of this.. this is how I look at this whole thing. As a fan I hate this distraction. The week before the big game and it is the last thing we need. As an guy born and raised in western NY... proud or my heritage, I applaud him for voicing an opinion... The more we voice our opinions and are heard the less mental disease we will have in society. 

 

So I try my hardest to play devils advocate.. try and understand his side of things.. Bees has always worked hard at his craft and I can  see why it would be bothersome when you work hard at that craft and then feel like he is getting boo'd for his freedom of choice. So if you just put what I have just said into perspective maybe.. just maybe one would understand... but that is not the end of the book on this topic.

 

This is also a business he works for. He is getting paid to do a job and make the right decisions not only during game play and practices but outside the field. And because he is being paid to not only produce on the field but to... be a good teammate... be something kids look up to.. at his age in football? be a leader and act like one... 

 

So that is why this ticks me off.. He is being interruptive to the business of football and the business of being a buffalo bill... and to even take it to the next level... they are not just giving those seats...  we pay for them... Cole does not pay for them... Who is he to tell us how to react to him?  BECAUSE... It is also our right to voice OUR opinions.. And if Cole don't like that then that makes him a bigot.. He does not have the right to voice his opinion and tell us we can not voice ours... I mean who does he think he is? MAYBE... he needs to be reminded what country he lives in?

 

I apologize for the long read... I just wanted to explain and share my thinking process on the matter. Thanks for the read.

I've been to every home game this year and honestly think you are way off base.  I'm hearing "Beeeeeees" every time.  Definitely not booing.

I couldn’t agree with you more. When I saw this, as an open minded person, I can see both sides…. Like echoed here already, much like the “BRUUUUCE” cheer, “BEEEAASSSSSEEE” initially sounded to me like a “BOOO”…. I know it may seem crazy for anyone that hasn’t heard it in person, but I assure you- the loud cheers you hear when he’s on the field are 100% “BEEEEAAAASSSSEEEE”.

[TheyCallMeAndy]

Well, we have to go find his 2 catches and see if there are boos? 

[Since1981]

1) 70,000 sat in a downpours. 
2) paid a day(s) wages

3) ALL 70K HAD TO BE VACCINATED. 
 

cole should have at least had the maturity to know the situation and his audience (all wet, all vaxed) 
 

Cole…just say;

“Sorry, this is ultimately a private matter, I am adhering to NFL covid guidance going forward as required”

 

(Get test, get paid, get quiet)

[Since1981]

My entire family loves to yell  BEEEEEZZLEEE

 

Don’t ruin it Cole.

Good on you! 

I hope my daughter meets somebody like you someday. A Bills fan and an honest one to boot. ❤️❤️❤️

It was an entire section I heard. And they were relentless the whole game.

 

Aside a bit, but I think it would be terrible to get involved with someone who never lies, not even a little bit.

 

Can you imagine?  "Do these pants make my butt look fat?"  "Yes dear, they do"

 

I think the term "liar" is getting thrown around a bit loosely.  A lot of people make intentional statements "I'm getting off social media"  "I'm going to lose weight" "I quit smoking" and then for one or another reason they don't or can't.  I don't think that puts them in the same class as someone who, say, lies under oath in court or lies about being vaccinated etc etc.

[muppy]

the conversation here has remained on point and not sway into fighting bickering. Very good insights and perspectives. Im glad this thread wasnt closed even though its long and potentially very divisive. I still sense fellowship as bills fans
