How crazy is this. He first does this to Curtis Samuel and this to Josh Allen. 100% this guy will never play for the Bills. What a wierd dude. 
 

 

The NFL. Where you can commit attempted murder and sexual assault on the field without any repercussions.

Dude's a certified weirdo. I imagine this was the last straw on a very heavily-laden camel.

Everything always points to Brokeback with you.

With Wilkins history of fondling other men’s genitalia, I can only imagine where he planted that kiss.

[teef]

i actually heard that he was repeatedly tickling someone's toes after them asking him to stop, and it turned into a thing.  

[Royale with Cheese]

I mean who hasn't?

Prior to his stint at the Raiders, Wilkins spent the previous five seasons with the Miami Dolphins, with whom he bagged nine sacks in 2023 – a career best.” 

 

(10 sacks if you count Josh Allens)

 

 

 

“Bagged nine sacks”, interesting choice of words lol

[MJS]

Can they add him to the sex offender registry as well?

OMG I love that movie!  I’ve been trying to make a trip there for vacation and hiking and stuff.

I think you have your Wrex Ryan/Christian Wilkins stories confused...

[Bill from NYC]

His behavior has probably been covered up for since his early years, and it isn't funny. He sounds like a sexual predator to me who will probably wind up harming someone and hopefully wind up in prison.

 

Imo any team that signs him is helping to flush the NFL down the toilet.

They are panicking over at Bike brand supporters and cups.  Their number one reason for buying their products is now on the unemployment line. 🙁

Whoever it was, he was kissing him goodbye.

[GunnerBill]

I strongly suspect there is something else going on here. I think he is a troubled guy dealing with some confusion about his sexuality. 

 

Not defending the behaviour or condoning it. But suspect there is something underlying.

[Boatdrinks]

Hmmm, I can’t say that I blame the Raiders here. With the financial ramifications involved though, I’m also also guessing that he didn’t kiss the Punter or something.

I don't think he's confused.  He knows what he wants.

Groping and kissing other men without consent isn’t confusion about sexuality…

It can be triggered by it. As can the "I meant it playfully" excuse. Again, I am not defending or condoning - behaving in that way without consent is still sexual assault, but trust me from experience struggling with your sexuality while in hyper masculine sporting environments ain't no picnic and I can totally understand why someone might find they lose all sense of respecting boundaries.

100% agreed.

 

Being gay or bisexual in the NFL is still incredibly taboo, and repression of urges often makes people manifest them in unhealthy or inappropriate ways. Obviously there's no defending the behavior of Wilkins if what has been said is true, but it is understandable when you view it from that lens.

“A source told ESPN that the defensive tackle had intended the incident, which took place inside a team meeting room, to be “playful” but that the recipient of the kiss had taken offense.

“We have decided that it is in the best interests of the organization to move on from Christian Wilkins and he has been informed of his release from the team,” the Raiders said in a statement shared to social media on Thursday.”

 

“With no clear path or plan for future return to play from Christian, this transaction is necessary for the entire organization to move forward and prepare for the new season,” said the Raiders in a press release,” the Raiders statement added.“

 

“A non-injury grievance has since been filed on Wilkins’ behalf by the NFLPlayers Association.

The Raiders declined to comment further on the matter.

I honestly thought that this thread was a joke.
