Low Positive Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Jerry Jones is in that report too. Makes me think that it was all said in an owners meeting to decide how to respond to the 2020 protests. It has to be hearsay because there is no way that Jim Trotter was in that meeting. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaccof Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Having once been involved in a lawsuit where I was accused in of something I absolutely knew wasn't true I'll give him the benefit of the doubt until I hear otherwise. Mine turned out fine. The other party was looking for a quick settlement - could be the motive here too.....BUT - if its true he's really thrown away a whole lot with one comment. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillnutinHouston Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 So at the groundbreaking, Terry publicly cried while recalling the Tops shooting. We may get reminders about that in the coming weeks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RunTheBall Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Until this is corroborated by someone other than a guy hoping to make bank on a discrimination law suit, I’ll withhold judgement. Terry very well be a closet racist, I don’t think so and hope not, but you don’t destroy a man’s reputation based on one guy’s statement who has a huge financial incentive for people to believe its true. 3 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May Day 10 Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Just from what I publicly know about Terry Pegula over the past 12 or so years... I cannot picture him saying something like that. I remember him even putting out a statement going against Donald trump and getting behind Lesean McCoy. The Bills allowed the players to do as they wanted during that whole thing. Maybe below the surface he could be slightly prejudiced. Most white men that age seem to be susceptible to that (boomers) 5 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dancing Fool Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Is this a recorded statement? If so, he has no business being involved with the NFL. He should be driven out of the city and from the league before the day is over. If this statement was not being recorded, I have a hard time believing that a person so reliant on the efforts of black folks would be so dismissive of their perspectives. Lots of people make claims about others these days that end up not being substantiated. I will be curious to see if this one is or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 (edited) The thing no Bills fan really wants to admit is this: Terry Pegula is probably one Josh Allen/Sean McDermott combo platter away from presiding over a coaching carousel and being despised by the fanbase. For whatever acumen he may offer in the business world, he does not seem particularly adept at operating sports franchises, nor does he seem particularly emotionally intelligent with regard to social interaction or relating to players. Yes, he has opened up his wallet, allowed the Bills to build a world class training facility and spend to the limit on coaching hires and team building, and the Bills have a new stadium deal in place. However, when it comes to the teams themselves under his ownership...everyone knows the Sabres have been an absolute tire fire. And the Bills? The Pegulas started out their tenure of ownership by hiring Rex Ryan and retaining Russ Brandon. They're lucky the McDermott hire worked out so well and that Beane followed, and that Josh Allen was drafted. Does anyone want to imagine what the Bills would look like if, hypothetically, Beane and McDermott were fired and it was up to Pegula to start from scratch? Does anything about the job he's done with the Sabres instill any kind of confidence that this process would go well? Add these latest comments -- if true -- to the pile. Pegula is lucky he has Beane/McDermott/Allen, and I hate to think of what the Bills might look like if he didn't.

thewookie1 Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 1. Frankly I don't believe it fully; Trotter is literally filing a lawsuit over Affirmative Action hiring which in itself is a idiotic situation to begin with. 2. Depending on the actual question this racial statement may not exactly be "bad" For all we know Trotter asked him about players backing the BLM riots that burned and looted towns. In that case this supposed statement is far less wrong. 3. The Pegulas have been very open and willing to hire, sign and acquire black players and staff as well as support community efforts in the region in regards to minorities. So the statement itself seems very out of character and/or at most an answer that comes from endless badgering or biased reporting. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
