Saffold Tweet

[dollars 2 donuts]

 

Surprised this hasn’t come up.

 

If true and if here a light needs to be shined on it.  Racism hates the light.

 

However, important to determine whether it was an establishment as opposed to a person.

You going to stage a riot?

Welp it didn’t take long for this one to go off  of the rails 

[WhoTom]

It's hard to comment about a vague tweet that provides no details.

 

[HT02]

1.  The restaurant could be anywhere
2. There are no details
3. There are 2 sides to every story

[ALF]

What city did this happen ?  If in WNY a fans boycott till apology to him is made would be in order.

[Beast]

Until he reveals what exactly happened.....

This is exactly it, it could also be a case of entitlement. 

 

I hope it's not discrimination.

I couldn’t agree more and the thread has been pressing on it.

 

hell, is it even local?

 

 

EDIT:

 

Just to be clear, it was something that was out there and I waited a bit before posting.

 

I know very little other then the tweet and the thread responses.

 

I wish he would at least give us a general idea of where and what happened, even if he doesn’t feel comfortable saying who.

Further proof that social media, especially twitter, is useless.  

[WhoTom]

At the risk of being labeled "Old man yelling at cloud," this is one of the things I can't stand about Twitter (and FB, to a somewhat lesser extent) - some people just post a random thought with no context. How are we supposed to respond to a short cryptic post?

Agreed, but also more like 3 sides - “yours”, “mine”, & the truth

I know of a person who was ordered to leave a bar. Would anyone care to offer an opinion?

Just probably avoid it.  Plus if it’s in Buffalo my kids work at one that a lot of players frequent.  I highly doubt it was there, but want to make sure.

Horse walked into a bar. Bartender says, “why the long face?”

That's what he gets for not wearing pants.

Is that the NSFW Seth Macfarlane bit?

[julian]

Everybody receives poor service occasionally if you’re fortunate enough to be able to afford that luxury. Almost everybody shakes their head, tells their friends of the lousy experience and never returns.

 

 If Saffold knows for a fact he encountered racism then he should be naming names and establishments and locations. I think everybody would appreciate knowing where not to go and spend money.

 

this vague tweet is lame and just causes division.

[JakeFrommStateFarm]

Was it a Buffalo restaurant?

I'm going to disagree with this. Had Saffold been specific, it would only have gotten bigger with opposing sides shouting about racism vs "cancel culture." Why would he want to lend his name to that? Why would he invite accusations of "playing the racism/victim card?" It's enough for us casual observers to know this sort of thing still goes on, and move forward from there. And if Saffold didn't see the need to escalate the situation further, I'll trust his judgement.

[Cmscully37]

Wasn’t Buffalo…he updated his tweet!

[julian]

If he knows it was racism and give the specifics of the encounter, then the only people being vocal against him would be racists. Who cares if a handful of racists are upset right ?

 

 He just did invite accusations of playing the race card with his tweet, the difference being that with no specific details, those accusations actually carry some weight.

 

racists should be exposed, it’s looking more like his opinion of one’s behaviour is related to racism without any proof. 
 

just add the details, but I have to assume they’re aren’t any

Social media implies some type of interaction. Otherwise, it's a journal or a diary.

Good that's the news about Buffalo we wanted to read.

[dollars 2 donuts]

Guys how do you lock or close a thread?

 

if the mods want to do it themselves, please feel free.

 

this is a relief.

Thank you. Just tweet what happened, not some vage cryptic statement that does nothing but cause people to speculate. 

[Simon]

I'll go ahead and lock it up.

If you ever want to lock/delete/hide one of your threads in the future, I think you can do the the following:

 

In the upper right corner of your original post there's three horizontal dots that, when you click, should give you a dropdown.

That dropdown should at least have an edit option you can click on that should provide several boxes to choose from; the dropdown itself may also even contain those other options in addition to the edit button. I can't be 100% certain what the user layout looks like compared to the mod layout.
